😍Aston needs a home😍

ThisCollie boy is 18 months old... He is fully vaccinated and chipped just needs to be castrated ..

Through no fault of his own he is due to be evicted from his home because the landlord has said he shouldn't be living there...The family who have had him since a pup have young children so harder for them to just relocate for various reasons but are trying to do the right thing and seek help...

Looking ideally for an adoption but if you can foster for a few months that would help

Please get in touch if you can help 🥰🥰

PRINCESS UPDATE .....

Yesterday having been on a drip for 2 days , they re ran her bloods which still didn't make great reading😪😪 .....As at yesterday not eaten anything for 6 days....So they have put her on another drip for 3 days ....

This poor beautiful girl , having been rescued from the Perrera , and got her big chance after being locked up for so long and this happens , we are all so worried for her 😪😌😔😪

They will rerun her bloods tomorrow and all we can do is wait and pray and hope she pulls through...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

PLEASE ENSURE YOU KEEP YOUR PETS PROTECTED AGAINST TICK DISEASE

🙄We had good news yesterday and not so good news .....🙄

As you will have seen from an earlier post the good news was Gandalf ❤️being adopted but yesterday also co- incided with different visits to the vets ...

6 cats went off to be neutered which is always good news -
Little Dobby though has bronchitis 😪and had to have steroid & antibiotics . Pipettes also required for the bigger cats ( in addition to the ones being neutered)
Mischief
Roger
Brian
Juliette
Willow
Sharkey.

Little Lucy the small black dog who we had to have a leg op on a few weeks ago had to have a check up yesterday after being neutered and although very well has now a small tummy hernia so monitoring that one but nothing to worry about..

The big problem we have is with Princess alias Pink ...
If you have been following out posts she was one of the 80 plus dogs that came from the perrera ..She came to us with a blood result showing she was positive for Tick disease which can be sorted with antibiotics.. Unfortunately she stopped eating 4 days ago. regardless of what she was given to try and tempt her including recovery food ..She has lost 4kg in a very small space of time ...and the bloods that were run yesterday did not make good reading so sadly she has been placed on a drip for 48hours and kept in at the vets ... .She is such a beautiful and friendly girl and we have every finger crossed that she pulls out of this and the drip works its magic to kick start her body ........
🤞🤞🤞

🥳Hooray for Gandalf 🥳

Marianne Bert and Dusty have passed Gandalfs trial test and he told me today he is very happy to stay and let them continue to pamper him....😃🥰😃 So his official adoption has taken place .

Marianne and Bert live in the Homdon de las Nieves area albeit they have only been here 2 months but in that time they spotted our ad for Gandalf and Immediately fell in love ❤️
They did come here with 2 dogs Dusty 6 years old and Kaya 18 years old , but unfortunately poor little Kaya decided it was his time to go 🌈 which sadly meant Dusty didn't have a playmate...but now he does 😃.
Gandalf is such a good boy for one who hasn't even reached his first birthday yet and he is certainly keeping them entertained😃

Gandalf was rescued by our main fosterers Steve and Tina, who found him on the road on a very hot Sunday, so hot he had burnt his paw pads which we had to get treated... but after alot of care and love by S&T he has now been able to secure his forever home.❤️❤️❤️.

We wish Gandalf and his new family a fantastic life together and we look forward to updates of their adventures along the way🥰🥰🥰

🥰Princess - alias Pink🥰

It's been abit busy this week with one thing and another but here goes whilst I'm wide awake at 4 in the morning...

As you will have seen this gorgous girl arrived on Tuesday via Galgos del Sol ( and the mission to move out 80 dogs from a Perrera). On Thursday we took her to Christine ( vet) to be checked over and to be neutered....

We had an additional blood test undertaken because it was found she had an infection going on plus a fungal spot on top of her head Now on meds.

So far in her first week at fosterers
She has been very mobile even after sterilising. She is up and about very quickly wanting to play
She is alot more Labrador nature ( active)than Mastin , very placid and playful with both humans and other dogs.
Alway happy for food and treats but not greedy normally leaving some in the bowl . She is gentle when taking treats and food away
Very house friendly .Always in and out of the house during the day. and wants to check on where the humans are regularly.
Has been left when fosters have gone out for a few hours , and she soon settles ( as monitored on camera) finding a place to lay and wait for their return.
Princess is neither noisey or destructive. Although a Deep bark will let you know if anyone is close to the house😃 she was reactive to someone at the gate letting us know a visitor had arrived and was good when a strange dog came in .
She is very confident and is very Dog friendly especially with the different foster dogs in the home - male and female , young and old , big or small.😁
Princess is a strong dog but does walk well on a lead , albeit would suggest additional lead, sit recall training is needed, but she is starting to come sometimes to her new name ...

She is a fabulous natured dog and a pleasure to have around the home

Colour creamy white
Height 67 cm
Weight 37.5 kg
large than lab but smaller than a normal sizes Mastin .even though nearly 40 kg I think a Very well proportioned healthy looking dog who would make a great family pet 👀💕🐾

If you would be interested in adopting the lovely Princess please message me.❤️❤️

❤️You may have seen over the last few weeks we have been sharing Galgos Del Sol's major story of trying to save 80+ dogs from a Perrera which had been sold off leaving all the dogs needing to be either adopted or taken on by rescues before October. They have done brilliantly
well in the space of a few weeks
We have been biding our time waiting till the end to see which dogs have been overlooked so we can then offer our help to those...and today one of the last 7 came to us.....She is known as Pink on their pages ( due to her collar being pink🤣) but we are going to call her Princess . We were going to call her Duchess but now we have met her she is too young ( and pretty) to be called.that hence now called Princess😃...She is the creamy white one in the photos ❤️

😍Daisy Doodle is adopted😍

This young lady has been adopted by Jane and Dave and she now also has a big brother called Pluto , a chocolate silver lab.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Daisy is set to be a well travelled lab , she not only has a home here in Spain , the otherside of Murcia, but also in Guernsey..
This fur baby was the last reserved but I think if Jane and Dave had the whole litter to choose from they would still have picked Daisy Doodle.
Daisy was the biggest pup in the litter and earlier this week weighed in at 6.9kg which was 0.6kg over the next biggest pup 😆 She was not only the biggest but also the most confident . Kathryn and Kazia would tell you she would stand her ground in front of the adult dogs in the house and if they barked at her she would have no qualms in " trapping" back at them 😂😂🤣

I hope Jane and Dave are prepared because I can see Pluto and Daisy are going to have a great life together full of high jinx , and when they are not up to no good I know she will be thoroughly spoilt 🥰🥰🥰

Have a wonderful life Daisy just don't eat all your brothers treats and he will look after you 💖💖💖
