You won't give up troy. You won't give up juno. You won't give up Thor. And I am sure there are others! Geez Man! No wonder you have over 70 dogs! Can't say I blame you. I'd probably want to keep 45 of the 70 myself!

A quick adoption update.......
Two of the little (big) furry puppies went today to a couple from Tulum who have a big beachfront lot (i tried to get them to adopt me but no luck ) and Daisy one of the dobie girls will soon be moving to Campestre on the ouskirts of Playa with a family that are friends of Michelle and they make take another pup too

Time to do a bit of catching up.... its been a busy week as usual here at the shelter with the added work of removing all of the shavings we were using as bedding for the pens, it turns out they are a perfcet breding ground for ticks, the damn things were everywhere so another solution is needed

Three adoptions this week, two of them puppies and the third a long term guest, more after some wash day pics

Quite a few turned up on sat which was just as well as sfter last weeks washout we had a lot of dirty dogs to get clean and a huge hand to everyone we just about succeded.

Jim the Boss

Danny the pug enjoyed his bath

Juno was not as pleased

Lots of kids showed up to help

Major tick-picking went on

Hi Troy

Andy&Jen · #**248** (**permalink**) 09-09-2008, 12:01 AM

all the dogs love playaing in the unfinished shelter so much more space for them to run around and of course bark loudly

A very unhappy Fugly

And a happy puppy

Little deaf Liana, so sweet

Patches and Lenny

,

So back to adoptions....the lucky surprise this week has gone to live with Ellie and Osa (who look fantastic and so happy) and it is........

Pogo.... he has alovely home with a big garden and the two girls to play with

Libby · #**249** (**permalink**) 09-09-2008, 12:10 AM

Oh, how cool that Pogo was adopted out and will be with Ellie and Osa! That's awesome! So, is Pogo still jumping over fences?

Congrats on the adoptions this week, Andy!

So anyway, i have been chastised by a few people lately about the way i post the shelter information.... i have always felt that (mostly) happy stories and pics were the way i wanted to do this but it turns out that i seem to be giving a false impression of the state of play here.
Its true that with the amount of dogs hovering around the 70 mark things have gotten a bit dire here, our food bill alone is around the $1000 usd mark not including water and baby milk that we sometimes need for small puppies.
I am more than aware that it is now low season and (tho i have always hated to use the term business when referring to the shelter it has been pointed out that to make it successful we have to run it this way) we are being affected as any business here in Playa , added to that the problems for our friends in the USA with thier economy donations have gone down too, we have this week for the first time had to turn away some dogs (although we have taken in a couple of puppies) and it breaks my heart to have to do it but with funds so low we just can not feed any more.
I know this will turn around soon and we have so many wonderful friends tirelesly trying to raise funds for us and for them we are so very grateful, .
I would love some feedback to see if this is the kind of info you would like to know on top of the usual posts.
Thank you
Andy

Yes as his name suggests Pogo does like to jump but his new home has very high fencing so no great escape for him...although i must say when he did manage to get over our 8 foot gate

he would just sit on the other side waiting to be let back in...silly pup thought it was a great game

redhairgirl1 · #**252** (**permalink**) 09-09-2008, 12:42 AM

Awww such cute pic's of the pups! Happy to hear Pogo was adopted out, but sad to see that alot more help is needed

Sure wish i could do more

Andy I think it's important for us to get the full picture. I wouldn't be checking in on this thread if I wasn't interested in the welfare of the shelter.

Of course it's not a bit surprising that incomings go down in low season because of less visitors, but the forum doesn't have a 'low season' and I think those of us concerned with you and Jen and the pups will give if we know you're skint.

Just don't hold back bad news because it's nicer to hear good. We want to hear it all - good bad and ugly ...

Besos,

Caroline
