Serious problem prompts slight change to arrangements for fosterers

Jane maintains the website that we use to find homes for abandoned dogs, puppies, cats & kittens. ( www.casnews.info )
Without the support of people like you, we couldn’t help the animals at all.
So a very big Thank You !

As you may know, we find homes for lots of dogs in The Netherlands and Germany.
98% of the time things go like clockwork and the dogs get loving homes.
It’s that 2% that is worrying us today...

Recently, a Dutch lady agreed to foster a dog here in Spain until I could home it.
It took about 6 weeks, during which time she asked us a couple of times to try harder !
The dog was seen by a Dutch person and a visit to that person’s home in Holland was made by the volunteers of the Dutch charity, HzH.
The woman here in Spain was kept aware of all the arrangements day by day.
The Dutch people signed a contract with the charity, paid the expenses and celebrated with their two children!
Someone was booked to fly to Málaga and back to Holland with this dog and 2 others.
It was time to get the “flying” dogs micro-chipped in the name of HzH.

Clockwork – as usual!

But not this time.......

The woman chose this time to say that she would not release the dog to its new owners!
Nothing we could say would change her mind. The President of the Dutch charity wrote to her explaining the legal implications of her refusal and further explaining that her refusal put in jeopardy the continued partnership of CAS & HzH.

It has been a very difficult few weeks for all of us.

As a result, I must ask each fosterer to send me an email that gives me & CAS a guarantee that, should we find a home for the dog, it will be released to us when requested.
Please ensure that the name(s) of your fostered dog(s) appear in the Subject Line of the email.

Of course – if you manage to find a home for the dog yourself – let me know immediately and we’ll celebrate with you … and the dog !
