Recently, I found the tiniest puppy (about 7 weeks) abandoned on the rough ground near to our villa in Catalkoy (behind the Malpas Hotyel). He was the cutest, dearest little thing but we aren't getting any younger and we already have 2 rescue dogs that didn't take kindly to the little chap so I contacted KAR who immediately said they would have him. I took him along and was met by two very kind ladies who reassured me that he would be fine with them. They put him in a huge dog basked which already had about 10 abandoned pups in it of about the same age. The basket was in a quiet room and my pup settled down amongst his new brothers and sisters. I felt sad but circumstances sometimes dictate as we all know. He could lap milk but hadn't got to the eating stage.

I just wanted to say that I was so grateful to these KAR ladies for their help. I still think of my little chap and hope he is OK and I wonder how anyone can simply put such a tiny mite down in a strange area - away from his mother - and leave him to his fate.

Thank you for caring enough for him and not leaving to fate. Also big thank you to KAR, who get a lot of unfair criticism. I have also found them extremely helpful under similar circumstances.

Do you think it was chance that he was left behind an Expat (Brit) house?

The old TC guy at the bottom of our road reckons that he hears cars changıng gear as they slow down to dump unwanted pets outside our house!

Keith, you are totally correct. Brits in particular are picked out specially. The smaller the village the more this is likely to happen. The locals are not stupid, they know exactly what they are doing.
