Hello everyone, welcome to our October edition

Computers!?!

After our problems last month with the magazine computer, we finally got back in action very late this month, again only giving us a short time to produce the whole of the new edition.

It was decided to renew the imac rather than repair it. A machine was despatched from Northern Spain to Madrid, from there to Barcelona, from there to Alicante, from there to Elche, while we waited. Still all worth it now, with a new machine replacing our eighteen month old one.

Our Town Hall have been busy bees during September, with a full programme of fiesta activities, followed by the World Windsurfing Championships, then being involved with the big Bowls Club event.

Some of these things must take hours of organising.

Have a good month, Sandra & Barry

PLEASE REMEMBER After our initial deliveries to over 100 outlets, we do top up during the month at:“The Winery”, “Euronics” and the “Phoenix Restaurant”.

Please let us know by the 14th of every month if you would like any changes to your advert

We at your Gran Alacant Advertiser continue to bring you all of the news from the Gran Alacant Councillor, Loreto Cascales, as we have since May 2005.

The issue of RUBBISH has reared its ugly head again.

It has become a great concern to the Town Hall that so many people are being very irresponsible with the dumping of their rubbish. Weekly meetings take place with photographs being taken by the Council, the monthly meetings with the council, including the Mayor lead to discussions on what to do next.

New rules are to be issued to all, letters to Commercial areas and Presidents of communities, asking everyone for collaboration on this issue and to take their rubbish to the bins, after 9pm. There is, already employed, a plain clothes policeman watching for and fining irresponsible dumping of waste and owners not clearing up after their dogs. The Council have tried dog litter bins in areas, but no one seems to use them, so fines have already been issued. Twenty eight refuse bins have now been repaired or replaced, so there is no excuse not to use them.

841 street lights so far, have had posters and flyers cleaned off from them in the Santa Pola, Gran Alacant areas and penalty signs put in their place.

The new train company has been

photo: May 2005

appointed and if all of the provisional paperwork goes through successfully the new operater will be: “Industrial de vehiculos Marsans. “The name we were given by the Town Hall” So watch out for the new train. The train has nothing to do with the Town Hall or Baile buses. It is a competely different private company.

A very good idea has been put to us, which we discussed with Loreto. Could Baile buses next summer, when operating the bus that goes the same route as the train, be asked to circulate in a clockwise direction, ie , opposite way round to the train.

We are always asked, “What about the golf course”. All hurdles have now been crossed, the only thing stopping the start of this major project is, the recession.

This is not an excuse, but a real issue.

Work on the new park will be started shortly, there are still discussions as to where the best place to put the disabled entrance.

The transformation of the frontage to El Clot should have started in September.

As you will see from an email we published, the Town Hall wants to assure all, that when projects are carried out, they feel that nothing must effect the environment in a detremental way. If trees are removed from an area, they will always be located elsewhere. It is also good to see from the email, that people do have differing views, re the caterpillar pine trees.

On October 18th the now annual Gran Alacant run will take place.

The name of this event is “Race Abel Anton� in honour of the Spanish Olympic gold medalist of the same name.

We hope to have pictures next month of the Biatholon in Santa Pola on Sunday 27th September.

Sorry we could not tell you last month about this event, as we were not told ourselves. This race consists of a 6km run, followed by a 20km bike run and back again to another 3km run. Quite a spectacle along the Santa Pola seafront.

There is a fiesta weekend in

October from and including the 9th to the 12th, everywhere shut, again.

We cannot leave this months news without mentioning the storm that hit Gran Alacant on Sunday 20th September.

Hailstones, some say the size of golf course hit us. Our car like many others has been completely peppered with dents in all panels.

Trees and shrubs were stripped of their leaves and much damage was done all round. This was the worst we have seen in the seven years that we have lived here on Gran Alacant.

If any of our readers have any good pictures of the storm, please send them into us at the magazine so that we can publish them in a future edition.

Its nice to see the new area of

petanca and a childrens playground, already being made use of on the road between the school and the GA Commercial Centre.

In our bus timetables at the back of the magazine, we have also published the service between Santa Pola, Gran Alacant and the airport.

KEEPING YOU ABREAST ...

Watch for posters!

Santa Pola Football Club

So far so good. - KEVIN RENDALL An excellent performance at home to Albatera in their opening match of the new season saw Santa Pola C.F. pick up their first three points following a 2-1 win in front of a decent sized crowd on a hot and cloudless first Sunday in September. Fifteen minutes into the campaign Paloma opened his and the teams account with a rising drive from the edge of the box. Mid-way through the second half American star Carlos Fernandez doubled the lead when first to the rebound from his older brotherʼs Marioʼs saved penalty kick. A twice taken Albatera free kick halved the deficit late on but by then Santa Pola were in cruise control. A week later a goal-less draw was the result away to a hard working but limited Thader side whose squad features three former ʻPola players. On the same day elsewhere in the region the Preferente Group 4 fixture between Alguena and Orihuela B was postponed due to heavy rain. Two games into 2009/10 and an unbeaten Santa Pola have collected four points and sit comfortably in mid table.

and Altea at home either side of a short trip to Guardamar for whom local side Alone recently elected an all British Board of Directors. The Alone de Guardamar game on Sunday October the 11th, incidentally, will be the first time Santa Pola will be called upon to strut their stuff on an artificial pitch. In 2008/09 ʻPola lost the corresponding fixture by a single goal, a defeat which saw the departure of manager Anselmo Serrano. The month is completed with a Saturday tea-time kick off away to El Campello.

Season tickets for the remaining Santa Pola home games are still on sale and attractively priced at €100, these can be purchased outside the ground on match days or by contacting Kevin on 650 594 112.

Where we are in the late Summer of 2009 When independent advice is sought from an organisation such as ours – one that is authorised by the relevant body, the client has confidence that the advisory practice is best placed to protect capital in tumultuous times.

Over the last year so, we have been asked on numerous occasions where we see the financial markets heading .

Earlier this year, I asked the question “How can we avoid bank deposit interest rates of 1% or less?”

Who would have forecast such low rates on our bank deposits – and for so long?

Since that article, the bank rate has remained stable – this should be good news for the economy generally, but very damaging for savers – especially the retired.

Clients such as ours - those who set up a structured and diversified savings approach have now been rewarded by their confidence in those choices: Property has bottomed out, commodities are rising.

The Stock Markets are steadily recovering from March 2009 lows – the Dow Jones (New York) Industrial Average index now standing at 9820 points, the FTSE (London) at 5172. Other markets following suit.

The problem often found with structure is the urge we have to “bail out” in the event of falling markets, and the temptation to buy into a market at the top of it’s cycle.

Our clients are encouraged to arrange a suitable diverse approach and stick with it in good times as well as poorer returns.

Trying to “call the markets” for times to buy and sell is impossible for the experts, so what chance the “layman”.

Let’s take another brief look at four important and crucial concerns and opportunities: Cash Deposits: With the prospect of very low inflation, or even deflation, it is little surprise that we are now seeing such unattractive interest rates on cash deposits.

In this climate, talking to your bank will glean little meaningful information as they have a “vested interest” in keeping your business - it is crucial that independent advice is sought now.

Exchange rates: For those on fixed income derived from GBP Sterling, we expect a modest recovery in the values vs the €uro……….however, the halcyon days of 1.40 plus seem a long way off – will they ever return on a consistent level? We doubt it!

This means the retired and others solely dependent on GBP exchange rates being favourable need to allow for a future of lower €uro income - a sobering thought.

12

Equity markets, the key drivers of capitalist nations: Without being over-optimistic and unrealistic, careful “stock-picking” equity managers claim to see the green-shoots of a start to the recovery. They anticipate a difficult year with lower volatility and values rising in the last two quarters of 2009.

La Marina..La Marina..La Marina.

La Marina..La Marina..Marina..

The location of both of the above businesses can be seen on our map on page 10

A quote from the January 2009 article in this publication…….this prediction is coming to fruition.

Property: We expect the distressed assets of the property market, who’s values dropped further than any of us could have imagined, to take longer to recover from the shocks of 2008/9. Private investors remain sceptical and shy of an illiquid and distressed asset class.

Expect a tough 2009…………maybe the time to buy into property funds as they are so lowly valued?

It is vital to ensure a diversified holding if protecting assets is to be achieved.

For the best way to do this – and have the opportunity that adversity always brings, call or email Chris or his colleagues on one of the numbers below.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late, seek independent financial advice now.

I look forward to writing for you again shortly, best wishes Chris Turton.

Airport chat up A guy is sitting in the bar in departures at a busy airport.

A beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the table next to him. He decides because she's got a uniform on, she's probably an off-duty flight attendant.

So he decides to have a go at picking her up by identifying the airline she flies for, thereby impressing her greatly.

He leans across to her and says the Delta Airlines motto 'We love to fly and it shows'. The woman looks at him blankly. He sits back and thinks up another line.

He leans forward again and delivers the Air France motto 'Winning the hearts of the world'. Again she just stares at him with a slightly puzzled look on her face.

Undeterred , he tries again, this time saying the Malaysian Airlines motto 'Going beyond expectations'.

The woman looks at him sternly and says 'What the hell do you want?'

'Ah!' he says, sitting back with a smile on his face.

'Ryanair'.

What would happen if one of us dies in Spain Ask yourselves these questions:

1. Would you know who to call in the first place?

2. Would they know the Spanish system on funerals?

3. Would they be able to cope with local laws and regulations in Spain?

4. Normally funerals are held within 48hr´s. Would family have time to get here?

5. Would funds be readily available to cover all costs?

6. Could you cope with the above at the time of great stress?

Makes you think, doesnʼt it?

If you can not answer even one of these questions positively then one of your Priorities should be to contact SPN today for more information about fixed cost Funeral plans SPN plans start from €2350.00

ANOTHER SECRET GARDEN In an earlier edition we showed you a secret garden on Gran Alacant.

We now have a second garden.

These are areas of waste land which residents have landscaped, themselves, to improve areas around their properties.

What a wonderful way for people to get together and improve their lot.

We went to the grand opening and took these photographs. The group photo shows many of those that have helped with the work.

Others have contributed either with money, plants etc. We feel it best not to name names in case we miss anybody out.

At least 3 of the businesses that advertise with us, gave a donation. They were, Homefinders, Legends and Dick Turpin.

The area is for the use of home owners of the community and their friends.

Tel: John or Denise Hutt 966 198 902 An elderly man in Queensland , Australia had owned a large property for several years. He had a dam in one of the lower paddocks where he had planted mango and avocado trees.

The dam had been fixed up for swimming when it was built and he also had some picnic tables placed there in the shade of the fruit trees.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a ten litre bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he neared the dam, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.

As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his dam.

He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.

One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!'

The old man frowned, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked, or make you get out of the dam naked.'

Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to feed the crocodile.'

Santa Pola Fiestas were as spectacular as ever. It is amazing the amount of time and effort spent by people organising these events.

This year instead of showing pictures of the big parades, we thought it time to highlight one of the different events.

One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, pet

ʻFather, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a Mass for the poor creature?'

Father Patrick replied, 'I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church.

But there are some baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe.

Maybe they'll do something for the creature.'

Muldoon said, 'I'll go right away Father.

Having owned a catering company in the u.k , we bring twenty years joint experience with us to Gran Alacant.

We feel the times are changing along with peoples tastes and expectations, so we shall endeavour to move with them by offering meat dishes, vegetarian selections, and new starter courses will also be introduced. We will stay with our already successful fish and chip side of the business; but will be improving our presentation, decor, comfort and other areas in general, to create what we feel will be a fresh and much needed upgrade to the premises .

The mens winner of the World title was Steve Allen from Australia, with Ross Williams the best placed Brit at 6th place and Ivan Pastor Lafuente of Spain coming in 14th.

Hello and welcome to Octobers Beauty Tips

As I discussed in Augusts edition Massage is one of the many holistic and comple mentary therapies which are available. Today and over the next few months I will discuss other Complementary Therapies

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is compatible with massage as it uses some of the Swedish massage techniques I discussed before, to aid relaxation, improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, thus aiding in muscular tension.

Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils for relaxation and improvement of emotional and physical wellbeing. An essential oil is an aromatic, volatile substance that is extracted from plants, it used various parts of the plant, the flowers, bark or leaves, some plants can produce more then one oil. These oils have tiny molecules and are easily absorbed into the skin. It is important to use good quality essential oils as there therapeutic benefits derive from there origin and chemical makeup. Cheap copies will not have the same benefits or effects. Essential oils should never be used it its neat form.

Essential oil has three effects on the body; Pharmacological Essential oils are chemical substances and so are humans. When essential oil is absorbed into our body, its chemicals enter the blood stream and are circulated around the body; they then interact with our own chemistry. Physiological the way our body works is known as its physiology. Essential oils have an effect on this as they interact with the chemical messages and impulses that our body uses to work. For example, an essential oil with sedative properties will send that message around the body creating a soothing relaxing ambiance helping to sooth nerves and relaxing the mind, body and spirit. Psychological not only are the oils absorbed into our skin we also inhale the oil through the noise and into the olfactory tract. Smell is closely linked to emotions. Thus aiding in our wellbeing.

To be continued. By for now Dott

Genuine emails to our magazine

Dear Sandra and Barry

I am concerned about the views expressed in one of last month´s emails, about the pine trees. We think they are lovely trees and the best species for this area.

They are the symbolic tree of Spain, the type of pine which grows here, the stone pine, does not gow too big, usually the most successful, greatly benefits the landscape and environment and is green all year round. The trees planted along Ave. Escandinavia have died because they were planted in rock and not watered in very dry conditions. But once established they survive all others. The 'lolipop´ or Robinia trees planted along the main hill of Ave. Mediterrana look ridiculous in this location and some of these are now dead also, and will need watering for years.

The caterpillars only appear during Feb/March, surely it is possible for people to avoid them, and when walking dogs. Everyone where I am seems to understand and avoid them, including children, who look but don´t touch. And this year council parks staff came and cut off the offending ´sacks´ before they could be a risk. There could perhaps be signs displayed various places near the trees, warning people of the hazard. Also, I am asthmatic and have lived in close proximity to them each year over six years and never been affected.

Spanish people have lived with pine trees for centuries, benefitted from them and appreciated them, in rural and urban areas, where they have enhanced the landscape and given shade and shelter. Gran Alacant would certainly be a bleak place without them.

Yours truly Rose and Bob

No matter how many times we write about Wills there are still those that don´t or won´t listen.

Does anyone really know the consequences of dying without a Will in Spain? Well the answer to that is yes some do and sadly they have found out the hard way.

There is no point in beating about the bush on this subject. If you have any assets in Spain you should have a Will. If you die without assets in England and without a Will then the difficulties faced are unbelievable, if not impossible.

One recent example is of a couple. She died in 2001, everyone thought Husband had inherited. He died in 2005. Difficulty. It turns out they weren´t married. The property was hers. She had an English Will excluding Spain. Solicitors in England tried to find family and failed. What money was available ran out. The beneficiaries cannot receive their inheritance in England because no one can find them. The assets in Spain being a

property and bank accounts are just standing there. The property in Spain is going to rack and ruin and remains empty, with no beneficiary.

For many they cannot face making a Will being unable to contemplate their own death.

The making of a Will need not be morbid.

For others because they are not going to die yet they feel they do not need to spend the money to do so. Unfortunately, for some this prediction of life has been without foundation.

The question should be can you afford not to make a Will?

Up and down the coast there are spouses, partners and children left to pick up a legal wrangle whilst suffering the grief of a loved one.

We know some don´t care what happens when they have gone, but if they do care about their loved ones then making a Will resolves the issue.

We have written dozens of articles on this subject and inheritance tax and yet there are still people not listening. Please don´t be one of them.

Monte Mar Bowls and Social Club – Sponsored by Super Valu SABA Spitfire League Monte Mar Toreadors – 6 points - 100 shots San Miguel Moors – 8 points – 109 shots Our last game of the season was played recently, when the Toreadors hosted the San Miguel Moors. And shared the spoils with three wins each, with San Miguel edging the shots 109 to 100.

Well done to the winning teams of Pauline Merry, Chris Merry and Harry Dobson (28-12); John Chapman, Bob Mallett and Terry Errington (18-13) and Marianne Forman, Bill Clifton and Len Counsell (24-13).

Captain Chris Merry would like to thank Harry Dobson and Bob Mallett for their help, and also all of the players throughout the season. He would also like to thank all the players who offered their services when they thought he was struggling.

An example of this help is shown in the

attached photograph, when good friend Ted Hyman used dubious shade methods to help Chris keep his cool!

A modern day Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau perhaps?

Didn’t We Have a ‘Luverly Time’ When We Went to Cuenca!!

Into the great mountain hinterland of Spain ventured fifty-two brave souls from our club, shepherded by the lovely Margaret from the Costa Blanca’s Number One coach company, Coachtrips SL. Expertly driven by coach driver Antonio, we managed to arrive at our hotel in the

charming village of Canete, with our numbers still intact and on time, miracles do happen in Spain then!

After an excellent lunch, Margaret gave us a guided tour around the charming village, amidst strange comments like, “It’s really Spanish isn’t it”. What did they expect several hundreds of kilometres into central Spain, the Old Kent Road!

However, this is where discipline started to break down, and several of our number went AWOL. First it was Bill Young who did his impression of the Vanishing Man in the church square, having failed to persuade a local bar owner to open his place early.

However the Scribe laid bets that on our return from our circular tour, we would find said ‘Youngy’ sat with his feet up outside a bar in the main village square, a prophesy that ultimately proved to be spot on.

The next to ‘disappear’ was Chairman Mike Farrelly, who was last seen passing through a beaded curtain into what could only be described as a Spanish Speakeasy; the smoke billowing out and the belly dancer really giving the game away.

Mike later appeared back at the hotel some hours later, protesting that it would have been rude not to have more than one drink as it was so cheap, believe that if you will. He could not, however, explain the presence of the belly dancer’s tassels hooked into his belt, and this will be discussed at the next committee meeting, and no doubt in his front room.

It was really interesting that neither of their respective spouses appeared concerned in any way, and whilst not naming names at least one of them uttered, “Peace at Last”!

More food followed, then more wine, dancing and then to bed.

I have omitted to mention that we arrived at the start of Canete’s Fiesta, which began at midnight and blasted many of us all out of sleep until 6.00am, so it was heavy eyes

that we started Day Two. After visits to various places on interest, we stopped in a National Park for the biggest lunch anyone had ever seen, prepared in part by Rowena Good and Bill Young, who between them peeled a full sack of spuds as they didn’t want to walk to the waterfall.

It was at this point that we showed our true colours, and entertained baffled Spanish onlookers to the weirdest fancy

dress dance ever seen North of the Equator.

I have included a photograph of the redoubtable Roy Clayson, Vice Chairman Bill Clifton and Treasurer Sue Bounds acting quite strangely in scanty costumes, which they appeared to enjoy wearing. Further investigation needed on that one!

Eventually they were all parted from their costumes and glasses, and we returned to the hotel to be faced by even more food, after which most of us gave up the ghost and retired hurt to bed.

The final day was memorable in Cuenca itself, which with its hanging houses and numerous architectural facets, is a joy to behold.

We arrived back in Gran Alacant, tired but grateful for a really smashing three days.

Hi everybody More fiestas in October but as the temperature, the pace about fiestas is cooling down. Anyway you can still show your friends and relatives the parades in: Crevillent 1st to 4th, Rafal 1st to 7th, Planes 2nd, Callosa d’en Sarria 9th to 17th, Campello 12th to 15th and Calpe 21st to 24th.

That’s all for now.

BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS IN DOGS AND CATS Same as humans, dogs, cats and other pets may also have blood transfusions, and the procedure is very similar to the human one.

Blood transfusions are only performed when they are absolutely necessary for saving the life of the animal, but never for extending the life in case of a chronical, irreversible disease. The requirements for recommending a blood transfusion depend on the condition of the ill animal: -Degree and type of the anaemia and clinical signs. Sometimes blood tests indicate a serious condition, but clinical signs are very mild, or vice versa.

-Prognosis of the disease.

Anaemia caused by bone marrow destruction, or by the lasts stages of a renal failure, is not suitable for a blood transfusion, because the animal is never going to recover, and the transfusion will

only make him survive 2 or 3 days more.

When the decision of performing a blood transfusion is been taken, it has to be done as soon as possible, within a few hours maximum, because sometimes the speed the blood disappears or gets destroyed is so high that waiting longer than 24 hours may kill the animal.

Blood transfusion is not a treatment by itself, but a way for giving the animal (and the specific treatments, such as steroids, antibiotics, antiparasitic or surgical procedures, for the primary cause of the anaemia) some “extra time” for reacting properly.

The other extremely important part of every blood transfusion is, of course, the donor, and here we find a very important difference between canine and feline blood transfusions: -Cats, same as people, have natural blood antibodies (A and B type, so, we can have 3 different combinations: A, B and AB), so giving a cat a transfusion from the wrong type will kill him. For this reason, every time a cat requires a

transfusion, a crossed test between his blood and the donor’s one must be done if we don’t know their type of blood. This crossed test can be done in every practice without any special equipment.

-Dogs don’t have natural blood antibodies: this means the first time a dog is having a transfusion, the blood may come from any other dog without any danger of rejection, even if they have different types of blood, so, in this case there is no need of crossed tests. The following 10 days, the dog may keep having transfusions from any other donor, but after this 10 days period, antibodies will appear, and the crossed test will be required for the rest of his life when needing further transfusions.

The requirements of an ideal blood donor would be: -Large or giant breed (over 25-30 kg in dogs).

-Calmed, not nervous, good patient, co-operant.

-Neutered.

-Young adult.

-Perfect health, free of blood transmissible diseases (mosquito!!). The healthier the better, because in most cases

blood extraction must be performed under sedation.

Normally is relatively easy to find a good donor from friends or neighbours, but is good to know that there is a “blood bank” service for dogs in Barcelona for Spain, but this option is much more expensive (and less quick) than finding a donor from your own neighbourhood.

Some commercial tests for knowing the blood type of our dog are available, but this is not absolutely necessary in case of requiring a transfusion. The most important in this cases would be, same as in people, the generosity of the donor (or donor’s owner in this case), which may save the life of other animals without any risk, because the lost blood gets regenerated in a matter of hours.

WHAT’S THAT IN THE CLOT?

by Mark Etheridge So that’s the hot summer over then, most of the visitors have gone, and our corner of Spain resumes a more tranquil aspect. The roads are quieter to drive along, you can actually find somewhere to park your car in Los Arenales and mañana means “in a little while” rather than “sometime next month maybe, perhaps, Señor”.

Gran Alacant

But if you venture into the Clot, you will find that the place is still heaving with birds, perhaps even more than were present in July and August. If you are observant, you will notice that one or two are different to those you may have seen in the summer.

The idea of taking a winter holiday on the Costa Blanca seems quite modern, but many bird species have been doing this since long before Pontius was a Pilot. My two pictures show the male and female versions of the Black Redstart which appears in large numbers in our area, not only in the Clot but around the houses in Gran Alacant itself. These birds arrive during October from all over Europe, including a few from the scarce British population, and leave for their more Northerly breeding areas from March onwards. They spend the winter chasing each other over the GA rooftops and through the bushes in the Clot, and at the same time do us all a big favour by munching the larvae and adults of the ever-present mozzies and other pesky insects.

The odd thing about Black Redstarts is their choice of breeding habitat; in

the UK, they are notorious for selecting rather desolate industrial sites such as dockyards, building sites, old ruins and most peculiar of all – nuclear power stations. You might expect to see a bird with at least two heads or a strange green glow about it, but no, it’s just a smart little bird which comes in two varieties; the very dapper male with

his black and grey plumage, ending in a red tail, and the female and immature birds which are dull brownish-grey but again have the red tail. They have a funny little call which sounds like two stones being banged together and a quite scratchy song which is unlikely to win them a second round pass at the X-Factor auditions.

The Spanish name is Colirrojo Tizòn, which rather dramatically might be translated as the Firebrand Redstart.

For Adoption

This summer has been the busiest ever for the K9 Club. More abandoned pets were rescued this August than in any previous year, with some that had to be rescued from a life threatening situation. The K9 Club is going through a very difficult period right now and currently they do not have foster homes

available for other abandoned pets that must be rescued. We are in desperate

need to home dogs so we can free up some of our foster homes and be able to rescue more from the streets.
