This morning we got the info that 15 dogs in the perrera of Gesser/Spain will be gassed on Thursday. 15 beautiful, able and healthy dogs - small, cuddly, big, strong, cute, old, young ...
So what to do? I don't have a house to take them all in, heck I can't even take one in ... but I can phone, ask, beg ... so after almost 12 hours of non-stop being on the phone and talking, begging and asking we have managed to get host places for 10 of the 15 dogs ... still need to find places for 5 dogs.
Good thing is ... the perrera workers promised us to change the extermination day ... so these five dogs are due to be put down on Friday morning instead of today.

Go give your pet a hug, no matter if dog, cat or pet bunny.
ETA: as of Thursday evening we have found temporary hosts for all dogs. Now they are reserved and are off the death list. As soon as we have tourists flying back from Gesser, the first dogs will come to Germany for their new life.

hugs and love

These dogs are all really nice and well socialized. They just need a good home or a Pflegefamilie which prepare them for a new home.
