Seacrest Hog Roast
Guaranteed to be a wonderful afternoon, there will be prizes
for 12 different categories, including Waggiest Tail, Best
Rescue Dog and the real nail-biter, best Sit and Stay. Food and
beverages will be available along with several stalls offering a
diverse selection of handicrafts.
Kurt and Laura from Seacrest Kennels and Cattery in Nerja
will host their 13th Annual Hog Roast BBQ in aid of the Costa
Animal Society (CAS) on Friday, September 28 at 8pm. This
event is always a lively evening to mark the end of summer.
Even the aged and infirm will be staying up well past their
bedtimes, shuffling about the dance floor or tapping their
canes to the infectious music provided by the inimitable DJ
Kapt’n Krap. There will be an exciting raffle with prizes great
and small and all proceeds from the night will go directly to
helping abandoned dogs and cats in our area. Tickets are
€20pp which includes a hog roast buffet with salads and a half
bottle of wine. (Vegetarian options are available.) Booking in
advance is essential with Laura and Kurt at 95 252 1426.
Attention Boys and Girls: This year CAS will be adding a new
category, Child Handler 12 years or under. Come on kids,
you’ve got plenty of time to practice having your dog walk
close on your left, stop, sit and shake, then reward them with a
delicious treat and a pat on the head. And don’t miss our
fantastic tombola! For the uninitiated, a tombola is a game
where when you buy a ticket if the last number of that ticket is
a 0 or 5, there will be a corresponding prize on the table. The
prizes this year will be well worth the risk.
Scruffs!
Handlers and dogs, 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.
We are also happy to announce that at 2pm there will be a dog
walk with several animal rescue groups parading dogs ready
for adoption. If a particular pooch catches your fancy, after a
home evaluation you can begin a new life with a loving
companion. Big fun!
Happy Tails
CAS has been following
Dobby and Doris’ story for
a few months and at last
Doris has followed in her
son’s footsteps and flew
home with her new
Swedish owner in August.
Doris is now enjoying her
Doris and Dobby
new life in the Swedish
countryside and will be
experiencing her first snow this coming winter.
CAS also has an update on the six one-day old pups that were
found in a Maro rubbish bin back in June. Hand rearing such
young tykes is hard work requiring bottle feeding with
expensive formula every two hours, around the clock for at
least a month, but the responsibility was shared between the
person who initially found the litter and a volunteer from CAS.
At around five to six weeks the
pups were weaned and now all six
have been re-homed with the
rescuer keeping a male, Spot, the
two girls and two other boys,
Queenie and Storm, were adopted
Rudy
locally and the last lad, Rudy, has
been reserved for a home in
England. Rudy recently received his chip, passport, vaccines
and first rabies jab and is spending the 21 day waiting period in
foster care until his transport can be arranged to the UK.
