Sad News: RIP Oscar
Our sweet beloved Oscar, who made such amazing strides in recovering his health

on his legs and had moments of the vacant expression and lack of
recognition/interest in his surroundings that was so apparent when he first
arrived. - full article here

to do. Our streets are overrun with sick, starving, injured, sad and
lonely dogs and cats. Disease and parasites which have virtually been
wiped out in North America and Europe are surviving, flourishing and
spreading here.

Our Latest Sad Rescue, Oscar - more info
Our latest PPS rescue is Oscar the Pit Bull who arrived today.
Named
for the extremely kind man who has been feeding him and who alerted us
to his plight, Oscar is a truly sad case. He is hungry, he has mange,
fungus, open sores and parasites. His ears have been cropped so short
as to be almost non-existent.
Worst of all, Oscar has given up hope.

Time for Change? - more info
The demise of our truck this
week has left us having to walk to the shelter. While being without transport is
inconvenient, especially as we rely upon it to be able to transport multiple big
bags of dog food at a time and being unable to get to the vet (taxis won't take
animals) is a huge problem, having to walk to the shelter is not that big a
deal. It has however, served to remind us, once again, exactly why we do what we
do.
