Alfie

A desperate plea for help. I can’t save anymore. Yesterday I know there were many being killed. I saw their faces, I prayed someone else would find a way. Some rescuers managed to save some but not many. It hurts so much to know you can’t save them. If we build more shelters we can get some more out. If we raise £5k we can build 10 more shelters. Please donate, I hate asking but that’s it, no more space. I’m heartbroken 😢 https://gofund.me/0aa89084

PLEASE SHARE These are some of the dogs we are trying to get saved by next Friday. There are 9 in total but we don’t think we will be able to save them all. Any help would be massively appreciated. They will hopefully go where Baloo and Barney are ❤️. As always I will keep updating you. If anyone can think of any ways to raise money with us/for us please message me. Jan and me have been on the phone all day trying to find a way so we are really desperate for some help. ❤️ We worked out all the costs and to save them, have all checks, chips, travel, vaccines, keep them sponsored etc works out of £3200 that’s without any vets bills. It’s a really tall order 😢😢😢 gofund.me/5e20541f

A little Alfie update, he’s doing very well, his hair is growing so much, the tail wagging is getting more and more and he’s happily going outside the back garden to do his whoopsies! He still won’t go for a walk and his skin although improving is still bad so I’ve just ordered some probiotic and hypoallergenic food. His feet are still sore as he obsessively licks them. We had to put socks on him last week to stop. He still hasn’t ventured to the vets as yet, although it’s imminent as his two sausage sisters need to go as they sadly have both formed lumps. So may take all of them together with Jess’s help!! He’s eating well and has taken to “his” spot on the sofa which Honey the brown sausage seems to have adopted with him too. So progress continues slowly, all in all he’s a much more settle boy and his flinching everytime we moves seems to have subsided so he must be trusting us and he’s beginning to love cuddles 🥰❤️

These two this morning ❤️

How dare there be a fly in the house! Alfie loves to catch a fly 😂 (ignore the grunting of little old Betty in the background 😂)

There’s a huge difference when a big dog has a drink to when a small one has one, I have to keep drying the floor! Thank goodness for wooden floors! 😂🥰

Alfie seems to come awake at night, and gets interested in the cats! Mabel actually quite likes him 🥰 and I think he quite likes her ❤️

Oh my word!🥰 Look at him this morning!!! This was me opening the door first thing. He’s happy😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰

Alfie loves to be petted, it sends him off to sleep. We are definitely making progress. Sadly while petting him this morning I found a big hole in his ear. Apparently in Romania they tag dogs with cattle tags and the healing and injury to thier ear is pretty awful. Good to see it has healed so well now but another bit of evidence to show his previous life of pain and upset 😢

Alfie found his voice! 😂🥰 The other dogs are encouraging this barking malarkey! 🤦‍♀️

What progress in just a week! He’s starting to wag his tail more and more 🥰

Lazy like Sunday Mornings 💕💕💕

Well we got to the end of the road and then he refused to budge! So guess who carried him back… 👋 Thought Tig may encourage him but nope!!

Alfie’s first steps on his first walk, not really very successful but slowly slowly catches the monkey so they say 😁😁

Day 4 - major breakthrough! Alfie spent last night in his bed on his own downstairs, not a peep out of him, I so enjoyed a night in my own bed since Sunday! I came down stairs to a wag of a tail! He’s been wandering round the house and going out in the garden this morning very happily and he’s even cocked his leg on my potted plants! 🤦‍♀️😂 He was very happy to see Jess and Kai get up this morning too! So we have a happier Alfie today and his excessive panting has stopped ❤️ He has licked and sniffed the other dogs and cats this morning so everyone is happy ❤️

Gentle Alfie having treats from Kai ❤️🥰

Hooray, he arrived home and he ate and drank! 🥰 Just the wee and poo to master!

10 hours of driving and we are home, time for Alfie to meet his new forever home and his sisters, Betty, Tig, Honey, Mabel and Molly ❤️ he’s very tired so straight in his bed 🥰
