CAS Holiday Dinner Dance 2017
Cup for the Non Pedigree
Best in Show.
Eat, drink, and make merry! Start the holiday season in style
by joining the Costa Animal Society (CAS) at their annual Ball
on December 1 at the Caves restaurant in Maro. Delicious food,
great raffle prizes and a festive
atmosphere ensure the night
will be, in the words of Woody
Allen, “the most fun you can
have with your clothes on”.
Another wonderful choice of
the judges was awarding the
John Peatey Memorial Cup
for Best Rescue dog or bitch
to Coco, a Galgo (Spanish
Greyhound). Galgos in Spain
John Peatey Memorial Cup, Coco
suffer unspeakable horrors
due to their docile nature,
great speed and unfortunately great use to hunters. We
encourage everyone to read up on the plight of the Galgos and
see what action they can take to raise awareness on this issue.
A special thanks goes out to Jorge and Jacky of the Nerja
Foreigners Department for all of their help and support. All of
the tables and chairs were set up and taken down again,
electricity arranged for and especially we express our gratitude
for use of the square which was still covered by the Feria
pavilion, making what would have been a very hot day for
handlers and dogs, a cool and comfortable one. Also, a big
thank you to our main sponsor Veterinary Clinic San
Fernando whose support for CAS runs all the year round.
And we are extremely pleased
to announce the return of
Mark Connor who wowed the
crowd last year with his
repertoire of hits from the 60s,
70s and 80s. The able danced
while the rest tapped their
canes to the infectious
rhythms of The Righteous
Brothers, Elvis, Marvin Gaye,
ABBA and many more of your
favourite performers. It is a
great show with back-up singers, costume changes and
excellent lighting. For bookings contact Vera on 95 252 9670 or
call in at the CAS shop in Nerja, No. 2 Avda Castilla Perez,
from Monday to Saturday 10am til 2pm.
All told, CAS raised an amazing €2,588 on the day, a great
success. Of course, all money raised at Scruffs goes directly to
aiding our rescue animals, primarily to cover vet bills and
kennelling costs. Thank you also to whatever publication you
are reading this in for their generous support.

Hog Roast at Seacrest Kennels
Kurt and Laura would like to thank everyone who helped
organise their Annual Hog Roast event at Seacrest Kennels in
aid of CAS. A special mention goes out to Cathy and Juan at
the Coach and Horses for donating the salads and Kapt’n Krap
for keeping the music fun and lively. This is always a fun filled
evening and over €800 was raised and donated to CAS to help
abandoned dogs and cats.
Scruffs!
CAS held its annual dog show, Scruffs, on October 14 at the
Plaza de España in Nerja. This is
always our favourite event of the
year. We spend most of our time on
the ugly side of rescuing animals,
witnessing the worst of human
behaviour, so it is a true pleasure to
see 60 dogs obviously loved by their
human companions and returning
the love in kind in an atmosphere of
camaraderie and communion.
A case in point is Molly. Last year
she was adopted at Scruffs, one of a
family of puppies who were
abandoned in a manner that defies
belief. This year Molly returned to
Scruffs with her owner Katrina and
she captured The Jackie Memorial
Happy Tails
Flash and Alfie finally passed their
second rabies titer tests. Flash flew
to her new forever home in
Norway on October 11 while Alfie
went to his new family in Oslo on
October 19.
Tiny Tim was rescued from a busy
campo road hiding under a car,
trying to steal cat food left out for a
couple of street cats. He was only 10
weeks old and had clearly been
dumped in a place where someone
hoped he would be found. With the
number of cars passing by it was
