Nerja Residents Day Punta Lara CAS Quiz
Be on the lookout for the Costa Animal Society (CAS) at Nerja
Residents Day on Sunday March 8 at the Plaza de España just
behind the town hall. We will have a stand with information
about all of our efforts and a roster of cats and dogs ready for
adoption or looking for foster care. There will also be a
tombola with a plethora of tantalizing prizes. Please stop by to
say hello. We may bark but we do not bite! Mark at the Punta Lara Bar and CAS are pleased to announce
their next charitable fund raising quiz to be held on March 22
at 7.30pm. Both regular quizzers and newcomers alike are
invited to test to their grey matter and join Quiz Hostess Laura
for a fun evening. Food and drinks are available at the bar and
booking is recommended by calling Mark at 635 369 673.
Residents Day is always a fun day out for the entire family
with a full day of entertainment organised by the town hall.
Visit the numerous stalls and food venues put on by local
clubs, charities and small businesses and sample the culture
and cuisine from the diverse legions of foreign residents who
live in Nerja. The event runs from 12 noon to 5pm. Sebastian had been living in kennels
with his brother Ossian for two
years ever since their Swedish
owner had to return home due to a
serious medical problem. Ossian was
adopted last summer by a nice
family in Almuñecar leaving
Sebastian on his own for the first
time.
Ready for Adoption
Happy Tales
Munch was rescued as a young pup
early last year when he was only a
couple of months old and grew up
in kennels during the rest of 2018.
In December he was seen on the
CAS website by an English lady
who was in Nerja on holiday and
she immediately fell in love with
Munch when she met him in
kennels. He was quickly prepared
for his journey to the UK but hit a
snag in January when the person
driving him to meet the transport
van became ill en route.
Munch
Fortunately, Animal Express was
very accommodating and
transferred the dog to their February trip at no additional cost
and Munch was delivered to his new owner in Hertfordshire
on February 16.
After a few more months in kennels
he was given the opportunity to live
with a fosterer who spends the
winter in Nerja each year. She even
went out of her way to buy him a
yellow ‘Adopt Me’ collar and lead to
highlight his status as they walked
through town.
Sebastian
Sebastian quickly settled into living in a home and the fosterer
says that he is the nicest dog she has
looked after. His fosterer will return
to the UK by the end of March but
the extra attention has highlighted
Sebastian’s cause and CAS is
confident he will be much closer to
finding his forever home by then.
Featured Dog of the Month
APA, the newer animal charity in
Nerja, is housing Bruiser and Rocky
in kennels until they can find new
homes. One of the ways CAS
cooperates with other animal
charities like APA is to help
advertise some of their harder to
place rescues by sharing their
stories across multiple networks.
Arturo is a one- to two-year-old
Podenco male and became the
latest addition to the CAS catalogue
of rescues after he was found by a
Spanish man in the campo a few
months ago. The man made a real
effort to try and locate an owner in
his area but Arturo did not have a
microchip and no one recognised
the dog.
Rocky
Bruiser and Rocky are not
particularly troublesome and are
beautiful examples of their breed
but as young males they have to be
matched carefully with other dogs
due to their exuberance.
Like most Podencos, Arturo has a
lovely, playful personality and gets
Arturo
along well with other dogs. He
really enjoys the company of people and will make a
wonderful pet but will not be good with cats. Arturo has been
fully vaccinated and castrated and is ready for a new life.
