Coronavirus
Curro was an old dog
and he was going to let
nature take its course.
With the tragedy of the Coronavirus outbreak in Spain, the
Costa Animal Society (CAS) is, like everyone else, in
lockdown. The CAS shop will remain closed until restrictions
are lifted and there will almost certainly be no quiz in April.
The volunteer
convinced the owner to
relinquish Curro to CAS
and he has been in our
care for the past five
weeks. His bites have
healed and he has
undergone several
courses of antibiotics
but the cheek abscess is
a chronic problem that
still requires special
treatment.

Curro has an
Curro
independent character
as he has probably spent much of his life on his own in the
campo, but he does like people and is okay with female dogs
and has not bothered our cats. We think with males it would
need to be evaluated on a case by case basis. Curro is about
12 years old and is otherwise in good health but still needs
vaccinations and we will discuss castration with the vet once
his treatment is finished.
As CAS relies heavily on these two sources of income, we will
not be able to take on any cases until the storm has passed.
Best wishes to all.
Dogs Available for Adoption
Foxy is one of four pups currently being rescued by CAS
from the campo above Frigiliana and he is the only male. He
is about four-six months old and is a small, Jack Russell, type
dog who only weighs about five kilos and will remain small.
Featured Dogs of the Month
Curro was found by a CAS volunteer in the campo after he
had been attacked by another dog. He had several bite marks
on his back as well as a long term abscess in a tooth that
created an opening in his cheek. His owner told the rescuer
that he was not going to pay for any vet treatment because
Foxy has a playful personality and gets along with other dogs,
not sure about cats, but is a bit shy due to his limited
