Javea Grapevine Issue No. 172 - 2014 | Page 71

The Grapevine Issue 172 2014| Apasa was founded 15 yrs ago by a group of Spanish, English and Germans. It started from humble beginnings: a few concrete kennels and no fencing, but over the years it has grown so much and we now have upwards of 200 dogs, we also have quarantine kennels for when new or sick dogs are bought in. We work with the town hall and the police in collecting dogs that have been lost or abandoned. We need the support of our members and all the fundraising events to keep us going. Thank you to everyone for your continued support. TIM, male, Shelter since 24.03.2012 Spanish Mastin Mix, DOB 15.01.2011 – 56 cm Tim´s first year was very unlucky. Left by his owners and ended up at the pound. Only to be adopted and sent back to the pound again. Tim is a very good dog, but he has a lot of energy. His last family brought him back, because they did not trust him with their very small children. We will never know if that was the real reason, because at the pound he behaves like a young dog and we have not seen anything to be scared about. Nevertheless, we do not recommend him to a family with very small children, because he surely needs some training. If you want to give him a permanent home and let him forget the past, please consider Tim now while he is still young! POUCH, female, shelter since 24.10.2011 Podenco, DOB 15.10.2009 – 54 cm Wow, que guapa! All podencos have beautiful eyes but hers are amazing! And she has the character to go with them: easy going, obedient and loving. If you can give Pouch a home, she will love you the way only a podenco can. She will curl up in your bed, without taking any of the space and without you noticing. And when she wakes up: be prepared to get some kisses from the best friend you have ever had! And if that is not enough: why not take two podencos? Podenco is the most social breed existing in this area. LLOBITO, male, Shelter since 05.04.2012 Crossbreed, DOB 15.04.2005 – 42 cm What a fine boy he is. Just found on the street and we think he did not learn anything where he came from. But that is not a problem. We have very good packs at the pound that will teach the newcomers everything they need to know - How to eat together, play together, trust people, and lots more. Llobito is now ready for a new home, trained by the best dogs of Javea!
