Copper, Pippi and Turca arrive in Holland

Copper, Pippi and Turca arrived late yesterday night in Amsterdam. A total of 35 dogs to Holland this year. Miranda, a volunteer from Dutch charity Hond zoekt Huis flew from Amsterdam to Malaga in the morning and back to Holland in the evening with the dogs. Luckily, she had a few hours time to relax on a sunny beach.

Sometimes it is not so easy

Bingo, Blue and Ronnie flew to their new homes in Holland on Saturday night. Which makes a total of 32 dogs rehomed in Holland in 2010.
Most flights go easy, like clockwork. But this one was different.....

The plane departed with a small delay (only 15 minutes) from Malaga on it's way to Rotterdam Airport. By the time they reached their destination, a large thunderstorm prevented the plane to land so the captain decided to divert the plane to Amsterdam Airport. But by the time they reached Amsterdam Airport, the thunderstorm has also reached that airport. So the plane returned and landed in Brussels. After a two hours wait in Brussels, the plane finally arrived in Rotterdam.

A long wait for the new families, as well as for the dogs. But all is already forgotten, and everyone is happy now.

And the next number is 200 - BINGO !

Today is a day to remember!! Dog number 200 was rehomed since the start of the partnership between CAS and Hond zoekt Huis. What a fantastic achievement.

The lucky dog #200 was Bingo, who flew to Holland with dogs Blue and Ronnie. Pictures of their arrival will follow later.

Ben and Spot arrive in Holland

Ben and Spot arrived in Holland yesterday. That makes a total of 29 dogs rehomed in Holland in 2010.

The dogs will be faced with a serious dilemma on Sunday. As Spanish dogs, will they cheer for Spain in the World Cup finals? Or will they join their new owners and cheer for the Dutch team?
