Mausi update 🎄

Mausi got her Christmas gift yesterday! She found a forever home on the island! She now has two siblings, Kaya, who I took off the streets a while back, and Rex!

Mausi also got spayed 3 weeks ago and we decided not to operate on her hip. Why? Because it already “healed” and her body adjusted to it, she is not in any pain and she can do anything! She plays, runs, jumps, etc. So for now we feel like doing an operation will only give her more discomfort.

From a home with an abusive owner to a happy home with new friends, she won ❤️.

Meet Tato 💙

1,5 weeks ago I was driving home when I saw a little pup crossing the street. I turned around and there he was, just sniffing some grass next to the busy road.

I got out of the car, hoping he wouldn’t run away. Luckily he stayed where he was, made himself small (scared) but was wagging his tail and happy to see me. I picked him up and he slept on my lap the car ride home. I called him Tato (little Potato) and he is around 13 weeks old 💙.

Tato is doing great, he already got his first vaccine and he gets along well with all the other dogs. He also loves humans, he is really social! Tato loves playing with his friend Mira and his toys. He behaves really well but is a bit naughty sometimes 😆. At night, when I am on the couch watching TV he will come lay on top of me or my neck and sleep, he is the sweetest boy.

Tato is ready for adoption, you can find him on the RPC website or you can contact me! 🩵

Chane needs your help! 😞

Chane has been living in the Netherlands for a while where he is still looking for his forever home (unfortunately it doesn’t go well with the kids). But for now, he needs your help with something else, Chane had to get surgery to remove some bone splinters from his nose. This was bothering him a lot, he kept having a swollen nose and because it didn’t disappear completely they did some exploring and found bone splinters which they had to remove.
Luckily Chane is doing okay but the vet bill is really high (almost €900, see picture).
I know I already asked for donations for Mira last week but I am hoping some of you can help with Chane his vet bill. All little bits help 🤞🏼.

I will post a Tikkie link in my stories

Chane is still available for adoption. We are looking for a home without (and not planning to have) kids. Someone willing to work with Chane on his insecurities. Someone who likes to cuddle, because he likes that. He is loyal, is okay with being alone, and likes his crate.
For more information please contact me (in the Netherlands).

Hi! I am Marley and I am now around 12 weeks old and only weighing 3 kg. I was found by my foster when I was only 10 to 14 days old, I just opened my eyes and wasn't able to eat on my own yet so she bottle-fed me. I am a big girl now so I now eat all kinds of feed, even veggies!

At first, I was a bit shy but my foster got me a foster sister and we became good friends, she helped me open up more and now I am a confident, happy little pup. I like to explore the garden and walk along with the big dogs. Sometimes I even try to hunt pigeons but they are bigger than me so it's really hard, I did catch a mouse ones 🤭.

I like to play with my little pup friends but also with the big dogs, I don’t mind playing rough. I get along great with all dogs and I like most humans as well, sometimes I just need a little time to adjust. My favorite toy? A rope or a stick! I also like the toys I can chew.

My best friend got adopted last week so I am hoping I can find a forever home soon as well. Maybe my new home will also be in the Netherlands and my best friend and I can fly together? That would be awesome because our foster mom tells us it’s a long journey to fly there, seems a bit boring if she has to go on her own right?

I am used to a crate and I don’t mind it. I am okay in the car and with the kids! And you know what? I will stay a bit smaller than the average dog here!

If you are interested in adopting me, in Europe, Curacao, or Canada. Please send my foster mom a message ❤️.

Small paw, Marley 🐾

Good news!

I found a home where I can continue rescue & hotel! Many thanks to ! A lot of work still needs to be done in the garden before I can move in. We have to trim lots of trees and shrubs, if you can help and have some power tools, let me know 🙏🏽🤞🏼. After the trimming we need to put some fences up, so for anyone who donated for the fences last month, thanks again 🙏🏽❤️.

After that it is time to move my furniture, anyone who is willing to help with that, please let me know! 🙏🏽

I want to move as soon as possible so the dogs (& me) have enough time to adjust before the busy holiday season.

Many thanks to everyone who helped looking for a new home! So glad I found a home that has a big yard and owners who know and understand what I am doing for the dogs. Mike & Tanya you are the best ❤️🇨🇦.

Tanya also works with dogs (Paradise Paws), she offers in home pet sitting. So if you feel more comfortable leaving your dog at home instead of bringing it to a dog hotel, she is the one you should call! Feel free to dm me so I can send you her number ☺️.

I have some sad news. A little while ago I made a post about needing fencing, I made this post because I just got the all-clear from my landlord about staying for another year. Again, many thanks to everyone who donated ❤️.
Unfortunately, I got a message this week (the day after we installed the fencing) that they decided they wanted me out. I will not go into details because it doesn’t matter, but I have to move. I feel devastated, sad, disappointed, and angry.

I have been looking around but all the house prices went up and I’m afraid I can’t find another home that allows me to continue doing what I do now with the dogs. I am not giving up hope but I might need to think about a plan B.

Plan B: Find a place that will allow a few dogs, try to save money, and buy a house in the next 1 - 2 years.
But this means I will not be able to save as many dogs anymore, this frustrates me but it might be my only option, and saving 1 dog at a time is better than none at all, right?

For now, I have to slow down to prepare for the move. If you have any suggestions about rentals, or housing , please let me know! I can use all the help I can get.

The story of Mausi 💐

To fully understand Mausi her story you might need to read the story of Goofy first. The neighbor got a new puppy a few days after we agreed to “buy” Goofy. The puppy escaped from the garden daily and always came to visit Maurice and Goofy. Maurice gave her some food, water, and some attention but always made sure she could go back home because we didn't want the neighbor to think we were trying to keep her as well.

She had a limp in her back leg. Maurice tried to talk to the neighbor about him bringing her to the vet because it didn't look good, he would take her he said... He never did.

Last week she got stuck in Maurice his fence, while trying to free her injured hip she bit Maurice. Nothing she could do about it, she must have had pain so Maurice didn't blame her for anything. The neighbor heard what she did, got mad, and slapped her.
Made me think about her hip, what happened? Did he kick her? Poor girl, she is so sweet.

Yesterday Maurice talked to the neighbor again and he told him he wanted to get rid of her, she was annoying and not nice.
So I jumped in the car and picked her up. She is safe now, no more abuse.

We are going to the vet tomorrow to see what is going on with her hip. She adjusted by walking sideways.
I’m hoping it will be an easy fix but I am afraid she will need surgery.

I could use some help paying for her first examination tomorrow (X-rays, health check, blood test). After tomorrow we will know more about what else she needs.

Mausi means picked flower

Meet Zia ❤️

We got a notification about 4 new dogs at Scherpenheuvel, probably dumped that night. 2 pups and 2 “adult” dogs.
Martine and I went to check it out. At first, we couldn’t find them, it was the middle of the day and bloody hot.. 🥵.

Until one of the adult dogs came walking toward us, she was skin to bones, hungry and thirsty but also really scared. We tried to catch her in a crate but failed, she ran away, back to the mundi. There we found the other female and two pups, behind lots of pika bushes and 🌵. We tried catching them but they were scared, tired, and hot. I decided to try to get closer and tried to make my way into the mundi.
I was able to grab the 2 pups, we put them into the crate hoping the other two would follow.

After lots of attempts, we managed to catch both the adult females. One of the (skin to bones) was in heath and we think she was the mom of the two pups. The other female was pretty young, not even a year old I think.

We went to the vet, they were hot and exhausted and didn’t have any energy.
Unfortunately one of the pups, the mom, and the other female didn’t make it.

Luckily little Zia is a fighter and doing well ❤️.

Zia will soon be available for adoption on the RPC website!

We need your help!

As many of you know I have been rescuing dogs for almost 4 years now. Together with the help of friends and Rescue Paws Curacao we have saved many dogs and found them suitable homes.

Two years ago I decided to quit my full-time job so I could spend more time and focus more on the dogs. I started a dog hotel so I could make money while doing something I love, taking care of (rescue) dogs. For me, it has never been about making lots of money, as long as I can pay the bills and take care of the dogs I’m fine! With the dog hotel and some freelance work, I have been able to pay my bills. But unfortunately, I haven’t been able to save up for bigger expenses. Luckily with the help of Rescue Paws and your donations, I have been able to keep rescuing dogs and I’m really thankful for that!

Up until this day the hotel dogs and rescue dogs have always been 1 group. Unfortunately, we had some incidents the last couple of months and I feel like I need to separate my garden into two so I can separate the dogs into smaller groups so I can keep running my dog hotel but also to keep rescuing more dogs.

So what do I need? I need fencing, good dog-proof fencing. I did some research online and if I would buy everything new, the costs would be around 2499 guldens.
I need a total of 19 meters of fencing and 2 doors.
The fencing I saw online is 2,30m x 2,5m.

I added pictures to show you what I need. I’m hoping someone has some fencing lying around and is willing to donate or let go for a small price.
If not I’m hoping people are willing to donate some money so I can buy the fencing. Without it, I have to slow down rescuing dogs and that’s not something I want to do.

Please, if you can help 🙏🏼❤️

Meet Elodie & Tycho (green eyes)

Elodie &Tycho were rescued by a RPC volunteer and because Morena went to her forever home and I needed a new friend for Liva they came to stay with me.

Elodie&Tycho are brother and sister and named after two of my little brother his friends. Elodie had some health issues (vitamin deficiency & coccidiosis) but is now doing great. Two happy pups who love to play and snuggle.
They had their first vaccination and are ready to be adopted.

They are both available for adoption at the RPC website ❤️

We need your help! 🐾

This incredible sweet boy walked into Maurice his garden two days ago and has been staying ever since. Maurice named him Goofy.

Goofy seems to be an older dog who has been through a lot based on looking at his scars and more recent wounds. Although we think he has been through a lot he is still really sweet. You can do anything with him. He listens to different commands like, sit, stay, and down. He also gets really excited when you grab the leash.

Maurice his garden is not completely fenced yet but will be fixed soon. He is already staying at Maurice his house for 3 days and only left for an hour, we think to go after the garbage truck 😅.

As you can see in the last picture he has a tooth that came out with roots and all but is still attached to his gums. This is really painful and he has difficulty eating.
I made an appointment to get his teeth cleaned and fixed this Friday. They will neuter him as well.
We could really use your help paying for his dentist appointment and neutering costs 🙏🏼❤️.

Donations can be made through:
Paypal: DemiDeumers
MCB: 32483909
IBAN: NL30RABO0129083623

Please mention Goofy in the payment reference.

Goofy is now wearing a collar and tag. We are still hoping his owner will come forward but we are afraid he has been dumped. He will be available for adoption if nobody will come forward as his owner.

Meet Morena 🤎

What another one? Yes, another one!
Morena was found at Morena Resort after mom had given birth to a lot of pups (mom is going to be spayed soon). They built a special pen for her so the pups could grow up “safe” and some volunteers gave them food and water every day.
All her siblings found homes and Morena was the only one left. Her rescuers brought her to RPC.

Meanwhile, I was in contact with Wendy (RPC volunteer) because Chuki was still too overwhelming for Liva. Chuki is doing great and also loves playing with Lilly but Liva needs a friend to keep her company when I leave the house because she has separation anxiety.
Morena just got brought in at the center, small, around the same age as Liva, and staying alone in a crate, we hoped this could be the perfect match!

Her rescuers went back to the center today to visit her and brought her to me. They decided they are adopting her but their house is not ready yet so she will be staying with me until their house is ready.

Our plan worked! It took Liva 5 minutes to get used to Morena but after that, they were playing and sleeping next to each other! I went out of the house for like an hour today and instead of screaming Liva just went to sleep ❤️.

Morena can now learn from the older dogs, socialize, and get used to living inside a house before she goes to her forever home!

Welcome to the RPC family Morena 🤎

Meet Liva 🕊️

This sweet little girl was rescued by Alexandra together with her brother and 2 sisters. They were full of ticks and fleas and needed a foster home. Because Chuki was the only small puppy I had I figured out it would be a good idea to give him a little friend of his age.

was giving them the urgent shelter they needed so RPC had some time to find some fosters, luckily they found fosters fast. I helped Jessica with giving them a bath, deworming, and flea and tick prevention and I took Liva home ❤️.

Liva is the sweetest little girl, she loves to snuggle against you and she will fall asleep soon after. When you pick her up she will hug you and put her head on your shoulder.
She has a little bit of separation anxiety, especially during the night so for now she sleeps next to my bed. I hope this will improve when I can leave her together with Chuki.

Chuki and her are not the best friends yet, Chuki is still playing a bit too rough for her, but they have their moments.
They love sleeping next to each other.

Liva’s ears may look cute all curled up but it isn’t, it’s a vitamin deficiency and will become normal in time. In fact, one of her ears is already back to normal!

Liva will soon be available for adoption!

Meet Chuki 🐕

Last Monday I heard a little puppy screaming in my neighbour's garden. The neighbors don’t have any dogs so I asked them if it was theirs, turns out it wasn’t and they didn’t know how it came into their garden. They were okay with me taking him.

Little Chuki is doing great and becoming more confident every day. He is around 8 weeks old and already got his first vaccine. He loves being close to me and he follows me everywhere.

The first 2 days I had him he was really itchy, screaming, and scratching himself really hard. We still don’t know what it is but I changed his food from puppy kibble to the puppy steamed meals I just to give Mosi when he was really itchy and he is scratching himself way less!

Chuki is now part of the RPC family and will soon be available for adoption! 🏠
