Help!!

Is there anyone who doesnt have a dog who'd be willing to look after an old, cranky, English Bull Terrier.

She is currently in kennels the other side of Limassol but the kennel owner wants her out by Wednesday due to summer bookings (she's been there since November) otherwise he will send her to a shelter, which we know won't end well.

She had to leave for 3 weeks over crismas and went to a kennels near Larnaca and they nearly killed her. It was a complete 💩hole and she lost 3kg in 3 weeks.

She is raw fed as she has typical EBT skin with allergies to, I believe, chicken but I may be wrong.

It is a paid foster but, the owner, currently in Colombia, can only recompense the person once his Cypriot inheritance comes thru.

We cannot take her as we simply have too many as we've had 6 puppies dumped on us that no-one wants.

Put quite simply, she will die if she goes to a shelter.

She doesn't like to be fussed, she comes to you when she wants. She is NOT a cuddly lap dog. She just wants a little space, a bed and grub.

I know it's a big ask and I'm not happy as the owner's involved me and is asking a lot.

Is there anyone???

Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks

12 October last year, someone posted a picture of a dog left in a churchyard

"Someone sent me this picture, can anyone help?"

He played on my mind all afternoon so after delivering a dog to Limassol, I went to find him.

I found this poor little soul, sitting on a white towel, with a tray of dog food.

I immediately bought him home. Took him to the vet the following day and had him checked out. At that time he had only giardia. Seven days later he tested +ve for parvo. He stayed at the vets for 3 days and then Alan and I cared for him.

We called him JAMES.

James was a MAD puppy, he was all legs and had 2 speeds - flat out and faster. He loved everyone but wasn't too struck on strangers as he'd only ever known me and Alan.

About 2 months ago, I was offered help with rehoming him - by that time we'd had 4, six week old malinois X pups dumped on us - we were over-run with dogs. He went to Peyia Pound so that he could be socialised with other people (he was fine with dogs).

Then, a few weeks ago, he flew to a foster home in the UK. Can't thank the people at Peyia Pound enough for their help!

The moral of this story is BE THAT SOMEONE! Heaven only knows what would've happened if he'd stayed in the churchyard. If you see a dog, don't ask for "someone to go get it" or "anyone to help". YOU need to be that "someone" or "anyone" as you are that dog's ONLY chance!

James was one of the lucky ones!

As I often say, I rarely post pictures of the animals I ship as you'd be bored to tears!

However ...... shipped these 3 in last week, to join their 15 mates I shipped in before!!

Sometimes, I can't believe what happens!

Last Wednesday, took a little dog to Pafos to fly to Manchester.

Upon x-ray, they found a foreign object in his tummy. They thought it was an Apple Watch. An Apple a day and all that!

Long story short - he didn't travel, went straight to the vets, €700 later he had 3 small stones, a ring and a £1 coin removed from his tummy.😲😲

He's recuperating with us and travelling next week!

Can't make it up!

Pet shippers are NOT household removers and household removers are NOT pet shippers. So WHY would you entrust your pets to a company that moves cars and sofas??

Answers on a postcard please.

If you're thinking of bringing your pets to Cyprus, whether it's just one or, like today, EIGHT, please get in touch. (Two little uns shared a crate!)

In collaboration with my UK partners, Pets Abroad UK and especially Kimberley, these 8 dawgs arrived safe and sound.

Having been let down by BA, they flew via Frankfurt with Lufthansa, wasn't ideal as they had to spend 2 nights in the wonderful Animal Lounge in Frankfurt so they could all arrive together but they were all spoilt and all arrived safe and sound.

Please remember, if you need help pet shipping, please get in touch.

Thanks

Apologies (not!) to the person whose just rung me at 9.30pm Christmas day evening asking if I can bring a dog from the Turkish occupied side (I can't) and couldn't be bothered to email me or wait till Monday. One of my dogs died in the night and I'm sorry I cant give you an answer NOW!
