SOS call for abandonned Husky!!!!

Put on the streets  just few days ago becasue owner died.

This boy, found by a woman is named PAPIRINO.  He is very young and not big (the pictures can be deceiving in this respect), he’s really skinny, super gentle, playfull and always willing to receive strokes and kindness

He lived with a man already old, who treated and cared him well and loved him with all his heart. The man  died and Papirino was put on the street and abandoned to it’s fate!

The woman that found him  tried to put it recently in a farm near the site where he is abandoned but as soon as he got there he was attacked by a pack of dogs and fled terrified!

 

Yesterday, while giving him food, a Mrs. told her that she called the kennel. They promised to come right after the weekend of 29th of April.

This lovely dog had everything and was suddenly left with nothing. He now is homeless, without food and without a single care.  Most of us could not stand such a thing but he is still there, fighting with all his strength to survive in a world that abandoned him.

Since he is abandonned in the area of Old Coutada, Benavente, Santarém district, Papirino goes to the Municipal Kennel Benavente which is a kennel where dog’s are put to sleep. Here they are mistreated and will suffer soon from illnesses and injuries.

I’m not able to house him but from the bottom of my heart i make an appeal to anyone who is willing to accept him as their ultimate owner or such as FAT – a Foster Home or even that there are opportunities to pay for a hotel for this boy until he finds the home he so much deserves!

If you can help please call 926029644 this is urgent!!!!

Bamboo Rescue

The Bamboo Animal Shelter in Guadalupe in the Algarve is owned and run by Nana van der Velden, who has lived in the Algarve for the past 7 years. Nana secured the rights to the farm in order to fulfill her dream of providing a sanctuary for abused and mistreated animals. In fact the initial goal was to form a dog sterilization service, the to re-home those dogs, but before this could begin, Nana was approached by somebody who urgently needed to find a home for 7 donkeys. They were in very poor condition and when Nana took them in the Bamboo Animal Shelter was born.

Stop Bullfighting

Although it’s not about pet’s it’s as important. Unfortunetly Spain, Portugal and France has a long tradition of Bullfighting. Despite 75% of the French population wanting the barbaric blood ‘sport’ to be banned, the French Ministry of Culture is trying to pass legislation to protect Bullfighting as an ‘intangible cultural heritage asset’ !!! ‘Animal’, the animal rights group in Portugal, has a link on it’s website to a petition which you can sign to protest against this legislation. Obviously, the more signatures we can collect the more effective the protest will be! Please click on the link below and sign the petition. Although it’s in French, it’s pretty obvious where you have to click to sign but if in doubt, there’s always Google translate.
