Scruffs!
In addition, visitors can participate in raffles, browse several
stalls offering a diverse selection of handicrafts and delicacies,
as well as food and drink. Also, at 2pm there will be a parade of
dogs ready for adoption. It’s a fun afternoon for the whole
family and an important fund-raiser for CAS. Come and enjoy
the day while helping the animals.
Handlers and dogs, the Costa Animal Society (CAS) is pleased
to announce that our annual dog show Scruffs will be held on
October 14 at the Plaza de España in Nerja from 12 noon until
4pm, once again with the great support of the Foreign
Residents’ Department of the Nerja Town Hall. All dogs
owners are invited to enter their pets in one or more of the 12
classes to be judged during the afternoon. Entry is €5 per
category or €12 for three categories with registration beginning
at 12 noon.
*In the event of inclement weather the show will be moved to
the following Sunday.
Punta Lara CAS Quiz
Pedigree and non-pedigree puppies (under one year), dogs and
bitches will be judged in six separate classes, starting at
1.00pm. The fun classes will include a search for the dog with
the waggiest tail, the best “sit and stay”, and the dog that is
most obedient or shows off the best trick. Importantly, the
judges will also be asked to choose the best dog and best bitch
from dogs which have been rescued and are now in new
homes with loving owners.
CAS is looking forward to the monthly quiz hosted by Mark
and company at the Punta Lara Bar. We would like to invite
our regular quizzers and all newcomers to a fun evening which
raises much needed funds for abandoned dogs and cats in our
area. The first one will be held on October 19 at 7.30pm and
will continue every third Friday of each month throughout the
winter and spring. Food and drinks are available at the bar and
advanced booking is recommended, call Mark on 635 369 673.
Happy Tales
CAS has been kept on its’ toes
caring for and re-homing several
batches of puppies this summer.
Rudy, the last of the six one-day old
pups that were found in Maro back
in March, finally travelled to his
Rudy
new family in the UK on September
14. The survival of such young waifs
is a testament to the dedication of the CAS volunteers who
bottle fed each one every two hours around the clock for a
month until they were weaned and could be boarded in
kennels. Not only did all six pups thrive but the first five found
their forever homes fairly quickly in Spain. Rudy was the last
only because he required a microchip, passport and full
vaccines to travel to the UK.
Featured Dog of the Month: Portia
Portia was adopted from CAS over ten years ago. She lived a
good life with her owner during that time but, sadly, her
owner died last month so Portia is looking for a new home.
The owner suffered
from a memory related
illness so Portia has
been overfed for the
last couple of years but
she is otherwise in very
good health and is
currently on a diet
while she is in kennels.
Portia
Portia is a lovely,
medium sized female
who enjoys being around people. She also gets along with
other dogs and is curious about cats but we do not think she
would hurt one.
