We share a massive passion for dogs,
On our first day of our short break away to Belek,Turkey and we decided to go and explore the mountains. On the way we saw a man with his 2 young sons stood next to his car so we slowed down, on getting closer we saw he was dumping 2 tiny puppies, we stopped a little way up the road to watch him just drive off and leave them. Now people who know us know we couldn’t just leave them there to be run over and killed so we went and scooped them up to the safety of our hire car and sat wondering what to do now!
We are staying in a pet free hotel, we are in Turkey and neither of us can speak a word of Turkish 😟
So we head back in the direction we came from searching Google, Facebook for some help also stopping and asking people and had almost lost faith in the Turks as human we found a family that helped not only by phoning a friend who spoke English to come out to us made us coffee and gave the puppies a drink and some food and pointed us to a rescue centre. Big love to that family.
On arrival the rescue centre was closed and not responding to messages so we headed back to the hotel thinking could we smuggle these beautiful souls into the hotel or did we spend the night in the car with them!
When a lovely lady Jane reached out and threw us a massive lifeline.
Between her and the lovely guy on our hotel desk we found a vet willing to help us and look after them for the weekend but that’s only until Monday. We took them in and they where given immediate treatment for parasites as these poor pups where crawling and visibly worm bellied, they where put in a warm cabin and fed on the best food. We paid the bill and left but are allowed to go in to see them tomorrow (Sunday) now in the time we spent with them it seemed right to name them BD & SD big dog and small dog they have our hearts now. We want them to come home with us where they can have a decent life with a warm bed and food in their bellies and so much love, but to do this we really your help to get BD and SD home, it’s going to take 4-5 months we will be doing some fund raising events and also setting up a go fund me page. If you can help we would be ever so grateful.
