Sky Dive Talk to the Paw – June 2018
In its most ambitious fundraising event ever, the President of
APA Nerja, Laura Leanne Downes and one of its most
erstwhile
supporters, Paul
Nicol,
undertook a Sky
Dive in Seville
on April 29,
2018. This was a
big challenge
for them both as
they are both
scared of
heights. Thank
you to everyone
who donated
and supported
Laura and Paul.
All monies raised will go to the continuing work of rescuing
and homing the dogs for their vet bills, food and to repair the
Shelter where they find safety and refuge. Thank you. Alex’s urgent shelter repairs appeal.
It’s June already, and we’ve come a long way since we started
our ‘Rebuilding Project’ back
in January! Thank you so
much to everyone who has
donated to our Shelter
Repairs Appeal directly, or
supported our fund-raising
events recently. We couldn’t
have done any of this without
you! We’re almost there ……..
we have 18 new pens now –
what an incredible
achievement! And what a
difference it has made to us
dogs – and to our lovely
walkers, and cleaners.
Alex
We only have FOUR pens to
go, but we don’t have
adequate funds to complete them. We have salvaged as much
material as we possibly can from the old pens, but our biggest
expense will be new gates – at 120 euros each gate! (Some of
the old gates were actually old bedsprings!). We need four for
the new pens, and a further two for the ‘alleyway’ (“Project
Runway” – more about that next month!).
Dumped Kittens
Whilst APA Nerja primarily helps
and re-homes dogs, the APA
family will always go out of their
way to help any abandoned and
innocent animal. One of our
volunteers was out walking her
dog when she heard a little cry
and made a horrific discovery. A
little kitten, about 10-13 days old,
had been put down a hole at the
side of the road and someone had
put a stone on top on the hole.
Once again the APA family sprung
into action to help this poor little
guy. Many thanks to Ivonne Oliva for giving little Lion (as he’s
now named) a loving home.
Please help sponsor a gate; that would be great!!
Thanks everyone, Lots of Love, Alex
Ps: Did you hear there’s a big fund-raising, fancy dress party at
Fitzgeralds on June 16? Hope you’ve all got your tickets!!

Daisy
Daisy is a spayed Mastin/Labrador Cross and she is about nine
years old. She was found in the campo around Maro and she
was caught because she had a large tumour. APA Nerja paid for
the operation to
remove her
tumour and
Daisy now lives
in a foster home.
Daisy is a big
softy. She is a
very calm and
clever dog. She
has previously
lived with other
dogs. She gets on
well with
children and
Daisy
patiently allows
children to hug
and greet her. She is getting used to cats. At first she tried to
chase them but after living in a foster home with cats she now
understands that they are part of the family too. Daisy is
looking for a home where someone is home for most of the
day, as she tends to get lonely and barks when she is left alone
for long periods of time.
