Read MoreFlight 10th April 2014 from Paphos to Hamburg/Germany
Today on Thursday 10th April 2014 the following dogs fly off to Hamburg to their new homes: Dee, Princess, Chin, Susi & Jilly, Shadow, Stan, Loopy, Willow, Monty and Jerry. Jerry was found as a stray. He is a very beautiful dog, but was initially very shy. We assume that he had no good experiences with people. Now everything will be better for Jerry, because he has found a forever home in Germany. Monty was born at the shelter. So he has spent his entire life in the shelter (now 4 years). Now he gets his chance. He can move to a foster home in Germany. Jilly and Susi are sisters. They were given away by an elderly woman because she was overwhelmed. Both were initially anxious. We suspect that they didn´t had much contact with people before. Jilly has found a foster home in Germany and is already reserved. Susi has already found a family and moves into her new home. Willow was found as she was just 6 weeks old. So still a baby. She has found a forever home in Germany. Her new people will certainly quickly close her in their hearts. She is a very affectionate but also lively little dog. It is sure, she will bring a lot of fun to her new family. Loopy was given up by her owner. He took her to a shelter. She was in a very bad condition and has been under medical care for a while. Now begins a better life for her, because she has found a forever home in Germany. Shadow was found on the street. The finder wanted to give him a home, but when the landlord found out about the dog, the finder had to take him to the shelter. Fortunately, Shadow has quickly found a home in Germany. Stan had lived with a lady for three months before coming to shelter but where he came from before, no one can say. In any case, Stan knows people and is not afraid of them. Now Stan will find his luck in Germany, because he move tomorrow into his new home. Dee was lonely picked up and taken to a vet. There, she couldn´t stay and so she was taken to the shelter. Now Dee has found a foster home in Germany and is waiting from there for her forever home. Princess was found as she was seriously injured. This was in 2011 in Coral Bay. Someone has tried to kill Princess, and probably struck with a heavy object to her. Her head was seriously injured and it was not clearly if she survived. Now she has recovered and is allowed to fly to her foster home to Germany. Chin was found in the streets as he was a puppy, somebody must have dumped him. He had to wait longer for his chance, but now he got his plane ticket for tomorrow and he is already reserved. We keep our fingers crossed. Good luck to all dogs for your new lives. We thank all the families who have opted for a dog from the animal protection. Please take good care of our treasures. They are a something special. We thank all foster families for their support. You are all a great help. Here are the arrival photos from Hamburg: Related...
Read MoreBenno – a special encounter
In order to tell the story of Benno, we must go back a little further this time. The story began at the end of March, when two tourists made a short trip from Germany to Cyprus. Actually, they should have gone on a trip to on Sunday to Nicosia, but they have never actually saw anything of Nicosia! Nevertheless, the two say that Cyprus is a beautiful island with friendly people. As they drove one afternoon down from the highway towards the hotel, they saw for the first time a dark fuzzy shadow, but only very briefly. The fuzzy shadow sat between a garden and a fence and didn’t know seem to know what to do, because on the one hand there was the fence, an escarpment and the road, and behind him was the highway. The couple continued their drive down the road. But they were depressed, ashamed and surprised by the moment. Their thoughts were of the black shadow. What could they have done? Again at night thoughts of this incident went round and round their heads. Had the black shadow has been abandoned? After two days they ran to the car in the morning, as they had planned to go on an excursion to Nicosia. Actually they wanted to experience the culture of Nicosia. But as so often in life, things don;t always turn out how you expect. Suddenly he was back, next to their car, in the shade under a tree. There he lay, just like that. The apartment was at least 5 kilometre away from the motorway exit! This could not be a coincidence. The woman knelt down to the dog, whereupon he came to her as if he did that every day. She thought he was such a sweet boy, so cuddly and yet lost… Again they kept thinking about the situation and they were wondering what they could do and what they wanted to do. The woman went back to her apartment to fetch water and dry bread. She asked the people at the guesthouse who they could ask for some active support in Cyprus for the dog. They realised immediately that help for a stray dog is not as easy to find as in their home country in Germany. They felt confused about how to take care of a stray dog on holiday. She could feel the lack of understanding from the people she asked for help, but she got the most necessary informations. As already mentioned, it was Sunday and they really did want to go to Nicosia! The black fuzzy shadow was now called Benno and he drank all the water they put down for him. The couple were not sure what they should do because he could possibly be owned by people who had lost him. They got into the car and drove off. But they came made it to the end of the village. They looked at each other and thought: to hell with Nicosia. That was from now on their standard phrase and would remain so until the end of their holiday. That was not meant against the city, but for them the dog was more important than a trip to Nicosia. Benno was very happy to see the couple again. The woman stayed with him and her husband went up to the apartment to do some research on the internet. He was looking for someone who could really help Benno. Benno looked very sweet, with beautiful eyes and he trusted these people. They would have liked to have wrapped him up and taken him to Germany. But they were in Cyprus and they already had two large dogs at home in Germany. After an hour the man came back. He had finally found a phone number, but a number from Germany. He called the Cyprus dogs help in Germany and they gave him the number of Barbara. Barbara was reachable on a Sunday (actually it should have been her first day off for a long time, but Barbara threw her entire days planning overboard) and...
