Paws and Claws Pet Transport

30/03/2024

So today, it is time to deliver the sad news that PAWS and CLAWS PET TRANSPORT have delivered our last Furbabies. Debbie and I have come to the hard decision to close the business after 4 years and hundreds of furbabies delivered. We delivered the last dog on Sunday morning.

The decision was made a few months ago after I had to have stent fitted which made us revaluate our future.

Over the years, we have transported so many animals during turbulent times such as Covid, regulation changes in Turkiye and commercial bans.

We have not done this alone and had a great team working with us and special thanks go to Sid and Alper who have both been co-drivers and animal handlers to me and looked after all the pets during all the trips and we are forever grateful to the guys.

I would also like to thank all the charities and owners who entrusted us with their precious pets as we all know how we all feel about our beloved furbabies. Another thanks go to Mick and Dot Roberts from Turk UK travel who helped both with advice and support when we needed to calibrate on all the changes in paperwork and regulations when they happened.

There was one person who backed us from the very beginning and was the one responsible for me setting up Paws and Claws at the start and has supported us through thick and thin and that is Kathy Ashton and even though at times I blamed her for getting me into this we will be forever grateful for setting us on the journey and we thank her for that.

That just leaves us with one final farewell and to wish all the rescuers, charities, and transporters mentioned all the best for the future.

Today was a busy day for us.
It started with us collecting a beautiful puppy, taking to the vets for a check up and microchip and then taking to his lovely foster home until his time to travel arrives. Whisky is a lucky boy.

Next we took Tam and Pat, who are adopting Mabel to visit her in her foster home. The time is getting nearer for Mabels travel to Uk and everyone is getting exited.
Mabel is special girl to us and many others in Ovacik and hisaronu and will soon get her happy ending. ❤️❤️

During our last trip to UK, Neil was contacted by a lovely Turkish lady who was flying her own dog over to UK but was concerned about her health certificates being correct.
Her friend had recommended Neil to check for her so of course Neil said yes. Unfortunately there were quite a few mistakes that we were able to put right and the lady and her beloved dog made it safely to UK.
Yesterday we recieved some beautiful gifts in the post and this card as a thank you which was a lovely unexpected surprise.
The lady is called Duygu and is one of the few turkish female entrepreneur would like to make a big shout out for her company DENEBUNU.COM please take a look ###

PLEASE SHARE

These 4 beautiful babies are fit and well, eating solids and using the litter tray.
They are very friendly and loving. If anyone has a little space in their home to save them from street life, please get in touch.
They have been raised in a store room but will soon be out and about as starting to climb where they will be in danger ###

Location TURKEY

So that's another great trip completed. All furbabies are safely delivered and enjoying their new homes.

Storm who nearly didn't make it due to breaking her leg and needing an operation the week before travel but lucky for her the vet said she was fit to go and she was a very good patient.

Also RIP Albie who sadly fell ill just before the trip and was taken to the rainbow bridge😪😪
