Clocks back October 29. Halloween! Winter solstice December 21. Whoosh! A mad rush, endless lists of ‘things to do!’ What a palaver!
APAA’s Pop-Up at ‘O Pescador’ packed to the gunnels. With record beating takings. “What a turn out. Thank you, all! Especially Pop-Up Special Pessoa, Anita and helping hand, Judy.” Jenny, president of APAA, is a very happy lady.
Pet Park’s Gary and Wendy, leaving their happy, soggy pack of canines back at the ranch. Gary explains: “They’ve been enjoying a break out in the sun. We wanted to bring ‘Rafa’ and ‘Nina’, but they were absolutely filthy!” Wendy is enjoying a break. “They are two of the four APAA dogs looking for re-homing, along with ‘Dusty’ and ‘Lilley’. Not alone though, with our own seven doggies.” Christmas and New Year bookings are getting busy. Still thinking about Christmas and New Year? Contact Pet Park.
A quick word from President, Jenny: “Pop-Up proceeds are precious, not only for the care of animals in need of help, but for our long-term SNiP efforts.” Association for Protection of Animals Algarve’s Spaying and Neutering Programme, lowering the ever-growing animal population.
She explains: “Cat colonies and abandoned dogs. Usually bitches, just before giving birth, or alongside their litter, literally dumped. Badly damaged and abused. Animals needing critical care. Not just help.” Care is costly, then finding a home. Time, patience, they all need feeding, vet care. Thankfully, Pet Park are APAA’s partners, in giving that extra mile to abandoned animals, that need re-homing.
