Read MoreAnimal Antics Pet Club – The Silverline Private School
Monday the 17th November saw us all get together for the last Pet Club of 2014. We are very sad that it was also Carole Husein’s last ever Pet Club here as she heads for ‘fresher’ climes!! We all thank Carole so much for her work, not only with the Pet Club, in all areas of animal welfare and Education and Training since she has been working with us. We will all miss her, and of course Sally and Ace. As this was the last Club day for this year the children had been asked to bring in their special folders. There was some great work done on the folders and a few prizes were given out foe special efforts. Whilst we were busy reviewing and judging the folders the children were given some coloured modelling clay and asked to make a model of either Sally or Marley. As you can see from the pictures there were some amazing models – what talent there is out there!! Again, these were judged and some prizes given along with special prizes for different categories. In fact, every member went home with something so well done to them all. We hope to be able to run the club again next year, but we are very low on volunteers. If there is anyone out there who would like to join us we would love to hear from you. It’s only an hour a week in school. Send us a message via the web site if you are interested or email us at: Info.cydra@gmail.com Thanks to all the children who have joined in with the Pet Club and shared their own thoughts and ideas with us.

Read MoreCoco is looking for her happy end…
… and we want to try to make this possible. When we saw the first pictures of Coco we had tears in our eyes. We had to try to help her. Coco was brought, as so many dogs in Cyprus, in a Municipality pound. Animal rights activists were just there to take care of the dogs when Coco was brought there in the back seat of a car. She was absolutely terrified at the sight of her: she had total horror in her eyes and was abused and traumatized. Just as she was she was put in a cage. Every sound made her so scared that she started to pee. Every time we tried to approach her she could not allow it and began to growl. In any case, she wanted to be touched by anyone… somehow… she had simply terrified. Outwardly, you saw the bad times she had go through. Coco looked like a single dreadlock. Her fur was really only dreadlocks. She was very very unkempt and neglected. The animal right activists found no better place for such a traumatized dog, she had to stay in the pound. The first few days she remained only in this little wooden box that stood in her cage. She was shaking all day and had no close to the people. The employees of the pound did not improve her condition, because as Coco did not come out from her wooden box, the employee simply sprayed the entire wooden box with Coco in there with cold water to clean the box. After a few days she began to trust a little bit more the animal rights activists. The animal rights activists brought her again from her cage to build trust with people. But they could not be spending hours on her site and so Coco had still only little human contact. One animal rights activist did everything possible to bring Coco far away from the pound. After a meeting Coco was allowed to move to a shelter, which was hopefully for her the first step in the right direction. Now she passes through there a kind of rehabilitation and to learn to trust people again. She is now a much happier girl, but she’s still afraid of strangers and is then very carefully. She needs time to trust and to feel safe. Coco wants a home with people who love her unconditionally. She needs a home without trouble a a lot of action. Coco needs rest and relaxation. She has more fear of men, they should be very patient with her. Small teeming children should not live in the household. In her new home she need people who understand her and can empathize with her. Despite her bad experience she wants to love and trust people, but only if she realizes and knows that this people loves her and wants nothing bad. If you have fallen in love with Coco and you could imagine to love Coco for the rest oh her life, then we would be very pleased if you contact us. Coco is waiting for you. Related...
Read MoreRobbie and Gypsy – two dogs, two fates
Robbie was bought as a puppy, but the owner lost the interest in him. When this happened we do not know exactly. Anyway, he eked out from the moment his life on the balcony, on a short leash attached, all alone. There it was not often cleaned, as animal rights activists picked him up there he stood in his own feces. In summer, animal rights activists were aware of Robbie, as they were informed that because a dog is tied up on the balcony and his owners are gone on holiday. The neighbors have thrown him food on the balcony and supplies him with water. Now the animal rights activists explained the owners that they need to leave him and Robbie was able to move in a shelter. Despite all this, Robbie is a happy little dog who enjoys it now to get attention from the shelter volunteers. We hope that we find a family soon for him and he is never left alone again. Also Gypsy was bought as a puppy, and has lived in a car wash who the owner operates. Gypsy had no bad life before, but one the day his owner made the decision that he wants him no longer. Why he wanted to get rid of him, unfortunately we do not know. His owner took him in his car and drove for miles away with Gypsy and put him out! And the incredible happened after few days Gypsy was back on the farm, he had found his way home!!! Nevertheless, his owner still wanted to get rid of him. Fortunately, an animal rights activist was aware of the situation and called us. Gypsy´s story broke our heart, like the story of Robbie, and of course Gypsy could also come to us. Who knows what Gypsy´s owner would have for a next idea to put him out… We also hope that we find a family for Gypsy soon, a family who loves him as Gypsy will love his people. Related...
