TIME FOR ANOTHER UPDATE
We are still homing 30/40 dogs each month and Sue is doing well homing her cats and kittens.
The puppy situation is still dire. They are being dumped every day, the bins being the favourite place for us. It ia a nightmare. We can only ask people to look after them for us until they are old enough to re home. We know it is a committment but we have nowhere to put them. Thank you all who help.
Our fundraisers are working flat out, the car booters do a fantastic job. All the items donated have to be collected from the givers and taken to where we sort it all and then taken to the msrkets for selling. Our regular markets are in Nerja (Sundays), Trapiche (Tuesdays) and Almunecar (Sundays).These produce our only regular income.
We always need more helpers in Nerja. If you can help please call Sheila on 66524638 We also need people to collect goods for us and take our trailer to the Nerja market if you have a car with a towbar.
Of course I need to beg for more foster places as our finances are severely reduced since the recession. We can no longer afford kennel fees. Many people have generously paid for a week or two if the dog is reserved to travel. Our problem is that if they are to go to Germany or Holland they must be fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped which all costs money.
Fostering can be short or long term. We have dogs and cats waiting now, that we cannot take off the street as we have nowhere to place them. Local people feed them and pray we can find a place before the Police come with their van for the pound. If you can help please call Wendy for Dogs 952037095 or Sue for Cats 952535416

CAS RECRUITMENT
CAN YOU HELP CAS
The Costa Animal Society will have several Committee based voluntary positions available from the end of 2011 beginning of 2012.
Treasurer
We will need a new Treasurer from 1st January 2012. This position requires the person to be a Spanish Resident and have a good knowledge of accountancy procedures, preferably computer literate (we currently use Microsoft Money) and be prepared to give monthly financial reports to the committee and prepare the annual accounts for submission to our auditors. In addition money with have to be collected from the Cas shop in Nerja weekly and banked together with any funds raised from our events. Invoices received to be paid monthly.
Fundraiser
This position available from 1st January 2012 requires the person to take overall responsibility for the fundraising necessary to produce the funds necessary to ensure Cas continues to help the abandoned animals that come into our care.
This involves organising our monthly events together with our two major dinner/dances in June and November plus the two annual Scruffs Dog Shows. They would also be responsible for obtaining sponsorship for the major events from local businesses. This will not be a “Cold start” as the person currently has many contacts and a well organised system.
President
The current President will be retiring in March 2012. Her main role apart from “President’s Duties) is to be responsible the rehoming of the dogs in our care and organising the many fosterers we have. This mainly involves telephone and email contact, responding to general enquiries from our press announcements and our Website from which the majority of enquiries are received. Also dealing with telephone calls received concerning dogs lost or abandoned. Once again we have a tried and tested system for dealing with most situations together with overseas contacts with whom many animals are rehomed. We currently home between 40/50 per month.
In all cases we would like people to come on board as soon as possible so that they can work with the retiree to ensure a smooth handover. If you are interested in any of these positions please contact our existing President Wendy Thorne on 952037095/660271984 or any committee member,

CAS NEWS
MAKING A DENUNCIA
There are increasing numbers of animal cruelty cases and many people are suffering not knowing how and where to denounce.
1. Go to your local GUARDIA CIVIL NOT The Local or National Police. The Cuartel of the Guardia Civil.
2. Go with as much information as you can. Names. Addresses, Map for them to be able to easily investigate and reasons for the Denuncia.
3. If you don’t speak Spanish get someone who does to go with you ot contact your local animal welfare society for help or information.
4. The Guardia Civil will give you a copy of the Denuncia and their copy will be given to Seprona the division of the Guardia Civil who will investigate.
5. ONLY SEPRONA will investigate
6. With your copy of the denuncia it can be followed up later. Don’t forget animals have laws to protect them from cruelty. They can’t complain if they have no food or water, no shade from the sun or shelter from rain or tied up on short chains and forgotten. But we can speak for them.
Please help them.
A BAD HAIR DAY!
Dave Jamieson of Coastline Radio FM unbelievably agreed to have all his hair shaved off to raise much needed funds for Cas. The event took place at the Blue Med Bar on Burriana Beach and raised an incredible 300 Euros. Our thanks to Dave and Di at the Blue Med
