This is Chelsea,
She has been a t the shelter since before covid in 2019.
She was one of our Akbük street dogs, taken to the shelter for her protection because a guy was going to shoot her for chasing his daughter on her bicycle. She fell off and grazed her knee.
We didn’t want her relocated to somewhere she didn't know so she became a resident, a free runner at the shelter. She could have gone off at any time but she stayed.
Chelsea wasn't just a street dog , she was our street dog.. our friend. She greeted us with the grinniest grin, sometimes nearly knocking us over, she was so pleased to see us.
We fed her and treated her so she never drained shelter resources.
The shelter knew she was special to us, me in particular.
So WHY DID THEY RELEASE HER ONTO THE STREET OR WORSE STILL EUTHANISE HER. WE DON'T KNOW WHICH , THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW. BUT SOMEONE DOES.
I am absolutely devasted with worry. Where is she, is she OK.
We don't expect favours or preferential treatment. But we can't understand why they did it. WHY couldn't they have talked to us first. And before you say language difficulties... they soon make themselves understood when they need something,
If they cannot find her, scruffy and the others and bring them back .. then sadly I will nolonger support them..
AND If the law goes the way that the government intends and all animals are put to sleep after 30 days, I will not be party to help fundraise to build ' a death row '.
CoDA Care of Didim Animals was to prolong and preserve life. This wasn't part of the deal.
As a group we will have to meet and decide what they want to do.. BUT I personally will not be involved in the shelter. If someone else wishes to take over the beds project or if not i will be refunding all donations.
I will continue to help the street animals while they are around.
I am sorry but this act of unkindness..I will never forgive or forget.

These 4 free running dogs are missing from the Didim Animal Shelter (barınak)
2 of them have only 3 legs due to road traffic accidents and amputations.
Chelsea has lived there pre covid and Scruffy for about 3 years.These dogs are not street wise, they are used to having their meals and water daily.
They would be so bewildered not knowing what's happened. We have asked the shelter staff if they know of their where abouts. They said Scruffy was dropped at Kent Mayden the big square in Didim, near to the tax ofis.
They are denying all knowledge of the where abouts of chelsea and the 3 legged dogs.
IF YOU SEE THEM LET US KNOW STRAIGHT AWAY PLEASE.
THANKYOU ....PLEASE SHARE

SATURDAY 8 JUNE 2024
A scorcher of a morning.
The dogs took advantage of the pool getting in and not wanting to get out.
Thankyou to our holiday volunteer walkers .. many feet make walking in this heat easier.
All walked that wanted to,
All fed and fussed
During the morning a coach arrived full of students, it was lovely to see some interacting with the dogs. Some of the students were talking to Roy in English asking questions

Saturday 25 May ... another day at the shelter.
For the dogs it was a day like any other but for us it was a very emotional day, still not knowing the fate of our 3 and 4 legged friends, we all sat back and said a prayer that the new proposed legislation isn't passed.🙏and then got on with the job in hand.
The dogs were their usual energetic selves, enjoying their 10 minutes burst of sun and breeze. and cuddles and fuss.
Some had a swim before and after their walks.
They were all walked, fed and fussed.
When we left the dogs were laying peaceful after eating their pasta and sausage breakfast.
Thankyou to everyone who walked today
We say a big THANKYOU and goodbye to our holiday walkers, have a safe journey home and hopefully see you all next time,.

WEDNESDAY 22 MAY
What a day..
We were so lucky today, regulars, holiday makers old and new.
We want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who gave up their time today to give our furry friends some quality time out of their cages. Having so many lovely people meant the dogs being out longer .
And then to give them a pasta sausage brunch.
Thankyou to kivilcim for doing the report in Dawns absence.
We actually ran out of leads and slip collars this week.
The greeting that we get from the free runners is priceless.

Chris Evans, Voices. Everyone who has visited Turkiye knows we have a secondary population. It consists entirely of stray animals, writes Chris Evans. The ones in the Didim area are probably the luckiest of them all. There are many locals and expats who go out of their way to feed and care for the s...

Lots of cats were brought in today.
4 by CoDA .. 2 from Yeşiltepe and 2 from Akbük .
Thankyou to the ladies who cook twice a week for the dogs and to the holiday ladies who cook whilst they are here.

Wednesday 24 April
A very windy day today but the air was so warm.
Many feet make light walking and today was 1 such day .... the beginning of the holiday season and so saw Karen, Adam, Marian and her two daughters come to join us walking.
This is so good for the dogs as they are out of the cages longer.
All dogs from A B C H and S Blocks, from Gordons larger puppies and from mums n puppies, mums who wanted to and older puppies were walked, if they wanted too, fed and checked over.
Some were given tick treatment, which was noted and reported..
It was cat day today, many cats were brought in for spay or neuter by members of the public.
Help keep the cat population down
Catch .... Neuter and release.
If anyone would like to join us walking, just message the page.
Have a lovely evening
