Here is a litte video of the volunteers that come up and walk our dogs.

Do you have some spare time and wouldn’t mind a little exercise?

This is an appeal …. Chris is a small white Caniche that came into the kennels with his friend Tina.

He was in a terrible state and looked like Bob Marley on a ‘Bad Hair Day’.  They were both wandering around near Cristian Sur in Los Cristianos, after receiving a phone call we went to collect them.

Chris was booked in for a shave the next day, he was also heartworm tested and castrated at the same time.  Unfortunately he is positive for heartworm, for anyone who does not know, this means he has worms in his heart which will, after time kill him.

Heartworm is very common in Tenerife and everyone should be giving their dogs a preventative each month.  It can be treated but at a cost, so we are asking for help to raise the money, to have him treated.  We need to raise around €50.

Chris also has a problem with his leg, although at the moment we are not sure what it is, other than it is not broken.  As he was in a bad state, it’s possible that with the amount of fur under his foot, it was sore so he limped and has got use to this, he does put it down occasionally but doesn’t appear to have any reason for the limp.

We would also like to send Chris to Austria where he can get a great home and any medical intervention he may need for his leg.  For this we need to raise another €80.

If you can help, please donate on our website with a reference to Chris or contact the kennels on 667 638 468, or Pat 608 121 081 to find out how to donate in Tenerife.

Thank you very much on behalf of Chris.

Oh, by the way, Tina has been very lucky and she has found a great home here in Tenerife with a wonderful couple
