MEET PIPO AND LOTTA!

These tiny treats are nearly ready for their forever homes.

Found in a bin in El Verger, at just approximately 3 days old, they were handed into SCAN. Nicola, one of our volunteers, with tremendous dedication and love, bottle fed and raised them. We are so proud of the work she has done, together with another volunteer Jessica, who also helped out massively.

We are now ready to take enquiries for potential adoptions for these little angels. As you can see from the photographs, they are small cross breeds and when fully grown, our vet estimates they will be around 8 kgs.

Lotta is female and slightly smaller than her brother Pipo. She is 26cm at the shoulder and he is 28cm. She has a bigger white flash on her chest.

They are just having their 3rd vaccinations, which will be followed by their rabies jabs and chips.

If you are interested in finding more about adoption, please contact Barry Caulfield at SCAN Costa Blanca on 626 550 864
or email [email protected].

ROCKY HAS ARRIVED FROM VALENCIA!!

Rocky arrived at SCAN yesterday, as part of our first intake from Valencia.
The shelter where he was living has been wiped out and the stark reality is that many dogs died. It is a miracle that Rocky is alive.

We are extremely happy to open our doors to foster Rocky and to provide a home for him at SCAN, whilst his options, moving forward, are worked out.

WHAT A DOG!!

What a gorgeous, friendly dog. Today, surrounded by complete strangers, he was very chilled out; charming and affectionate, excellent on the lead and keen to make friends.

We treated him to a little pamper session this morning and this little angel even held his paws up for cleaning. This was an essential bath, as he was smelling of drains and his feet were filthy.

Rocky seems to be in good health, but we will give him access to our vet next week for a quick MOT.

HOW CAN YOU HELP??

Rocky is a big dog and we estimate he will need 7-8 kgs of food a week. Can you help us out? We’ve put together a Rocky Amazon Wish List, with a few items that would be invaluable. If you can have a look and see if you can help – we (and Rocky) would be very grateful. Any HELP is always really appreciated.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
Keep an eye out for updates on Rocky, as we get him settled. 🐾🐾🐾🐾

ZEUS HAS STARTED HIS NEW LIFE!!

Once in a while, you meet a truly great dog and all you wish for, in the world, is a lovely home for him. That wish came true for our brilliant boy ZEUS, who came into the shelter earlier this year.

ZEUS had been identified as a dog in need, at the Perrera, when he was rescued, seriously underweight and needing urgent care. He eventually came to SCAN for the next stage of his care, where he was loved by all the volunteers.

Super friendly, highly intelligent, great on walks, with a real zest for life, ZEUS was a real addition to our SCAN Family. A few tears were shed when he left (having got himself into the van!!) but they were tears of joy.

We are so happy to see photographs of him in his new home and videos on the beach. We know he is going to be an incredible addition to his new family in Guernsey and we wish them all the best for the future. Good luck big one 🐾🐾🐾🐾

In the midst of such sadness and horrible news in our region, it was a real tonic to receive heartwarming news about our LUCKY, who was adopted in October in Guernsey. His new owner has shared something really special with us, so we would like to share this with you. (Lucky is now called Ambrose).

*******************
"Love love love him. He’s spoiled rotten but he deserves everything he gets. I would never part with him. Not for £50 million.

Well, we’ve had him two and a half weeks and I can honestly say we adore him. Absolutely love him to bits! He’s the most intelligent dog I’ve ever had. He’s mastered lead walks like a champ, he learnt basic manners in 48 hours. listens to every instruction without question, even learnt to ignore other dogs barking and lunging at him while watching and listening to me.

He’s made Leo’s live so much happier too. They trot around together like they’ve always been together. Leo has had to up his game to keep up with Ambrose’s amazing progress. Ambrose has already mastered basic obedience and he’s totally reliable with it! We had a Halloween party yesterday with 6 additional children round during the day and 5 additional adults for dinner in the evening and he took it in his stride. Looked to me for some instructions and rolled with it. He’s awesome"
********

Thanks to Ambrose and his family, for reminding us, in the midst of a dark time, that what we do is so worthwhile. Good luck little one 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Did someone order the Sausages? Ready to take away now!

Do you have room for two gorgeous Teckels in your life?

Small and perfectly formed, friendly and fun. They are looking for a new forever home.

We are visiting a number of shelters in the Valencia area to identify how we can support them at this tragic time.

We are now collecting blankets and towels at the SCAN Shelter in El Verger as part of this effort. If you would like to contribute, please drop off, any day between 09:00 and 11:30. We will ensure they are delivered to those in need.

Thank you.

Wow!! More gifts arrived recently at SCAN, from our Guernsey supporters. We cannot thank them enough for their generosity.

Every dog will enjoy the treats and Ricky (again!!) is enjoying the special toys and blankets. It's cooled down a bit this week on the Costa Blanca, so he is wrapped up.

Best wishes to you!

MEET WONDERFUL W***Y!

Our smallest resident is looking for love!

There has been no interest in this little treasure and we don't know why!!

He had a horrible time in his last home and we want him to know that a new owner will cherish him and spoil him, as he deserves.

He is amazingly handsome and friendly, He's just a small little chap, who is looking for his forever sofa this winter. Let's work together to get him out of the shelter!!

Have you got room for him in your life?

THE CARDBOARD BOX QUARTET HAVE NAMES 😀😀😀😀

Thanks so much to everyone who helped out with such brilliant name suggestions for our new arrivals. The winning selection, as voted for by our volunteers was / is:

🐕💙 Caramelo
🐕💙 Coffee
🐕💛 Crema
🐕💛 Cocoa

We are so grateful to all our supporters for taking part!

WE HAVE ANOTHER REQUEST!!

Over the last few weeks we have sadly taken in 11 abandoned and mistreated puppies. A shocking number in such a short space of time. The costs involved in an increase in numbers is huge, especially when most need urgent veterinary care.

If you are able to make any donation towards the costs of looking after our puppies, it would be greatly appreciated.

Any donation, no matter how small or large, will go directly towards providing the urgent veterinary care, medicines, food and equipment which our little ones need.

If you are not able to donate, then it would be just as helpful if you could share this story on your own page to help with maximum coverage.

Please donate if you can……..please share if you can't!!

2 boys 💙💙 and 2 girls 💛💛

Please give us some ideas today and we will announce the names tomorrow (Friday 11th).

Please post ideas below!!

Like and share too 😀😀😀

Thank you 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Wow!

Thanks to the unbelievable generosity of one of our friends from Guernsey, we have taken delivery of a special orthopaedic bed and heating pad for our senior resident Ricky.

Here is the finished product, which one of our volunteers took home to put together.

It seemingly needed an engineering degree for construction, but after about an hour, blood sweat and tears (and a tiny bit of bad language), it's ready for our boy. It's super comfy and sturdy too.

More photos to follow when it's in use!

Thanks to Mina the Cat and her humans for the donation. It's much appreciated 😼❤❤

LIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!

Lis came to us earlier this year. A beautiful Malinois who had been rescued from the Perrera and needed some TLC. She was friendly, but wary and not 100% comfortable around men, but in general she was content in the shelter, great on walks and happy with other dogs.

Lis caught the eye of Jean-Marc, who was looking for a companion dog for his German Shepherd. He did the best thing possible for Lis, spending time with her and building up a relationship. He then took her on trial to his property, where she has acres of ground to explore and a new brother.

We waited anxiously to see how this wonderful girl got on and the feedback was positive. Lis was settling in, making friends with all the neighbours, walking by his side, progressed to living in the house and her tail was up! Jean-Marc is really “made up” with Lis and she is the perfect fit for his life and his other dog.

Lis just needed that essential opportunity to DECOMPRESS in her new home; nothing rushed, no high expectations; just simple time, for everyone to get to know each other.

Thanks to Jean-Marc for giving her that opportunity and time to adapt to a new home.

Lis has now been formally adopted and we wish her all the very best in her amazing new life. Bon Chance little one! 🐾🐕😀🐾

Last weekend we held our fun OPEN DAY at the shelter in El Verger. WHAT A TURN OUT!

We were delighted to welcome hundreds of people throughout the day, who all seemed to be really enjoying visiting our cats and dogs and meeting our volunteers. Cold drinks were flowing and there was even a great stock of clothes and accessories for sale from the Charity Shop.

Live entertainment from SHOWADDYWADDY GOLD, and Pam's legendary raffle, sealed a really fun afternoon in the sunshine.

It's been an incredible week for the vital fundraising for SCAN with well over 2000 € raised from the Open Day and our Kenny and Dolly Evening.

Thanks as ever to all our supporters for their generosity and all our volunteers for their amazing dedication, to the work of SCAN. We salut you all 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐕🐈‍⬛🦮🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺
