Molly and Nico arrived in Holland
Molly and Nico flew to their new homes in Holland yesterday. After a 1.5 hour delay at the airport in Malaga, they were welcomed at Amsterdam airport by their new owners.
Molly and Nico are dogs #154 and #155 that were rehomed in Holland in the past 19 months.
AND.... At the airport in Malaga, the CAS volunteers received a 20 Euro donation from a British couple that flew back to the UK after having been on holiday in Cómpeta. I wish that would happen more often as CAS certainly can use the money.

Scruffs Nerja 2009 raised 2600 Euros for CAS
The Costa Animal Society's second dog show of the summer has raised a remarkable 2,611 euros for the animal charity.
Over 50 dogs entered in one or more of the 11 competitive classes. In addition to finding the best pedigree and non-pedigree dogs, there were the usual Fun Classes! - the owners who looked most like their dogs, as well as the best six legs.
Chloe, owned by Eric, took the non-pedigree best in show title and Tulip, owned by Carol, winning the pedigree section. The undoubted star of the show was Oudles who took the Best Rescue Dog award for owner Steve who told the crowd how Oudles had been found wandering on Burriana Beach in Nerja, after being mistreated by person or persons unknown. As well as being dirty and frightened, Oudles had even been spray painted by local scum!
However, after weeks of love and attention, Oudles is now as good an advert for rescuing an animal as there could be. In addition winning the title, Oudles is going to have his portrait painted as an extra prize. Heather Gail Harman, founder of the Portrait Society of Andalucia, is now hard at work on capturing Oudles likeness for posterity! Gail has previously painted champions from the famous Cruft's Dog Show in the UK, as well as a range of celebrities from Billy Connolly to Barbra Streisand.
The Costa Animal Society wish to thank all those companies and individuals who sponsored Scruffs Nerja 2009, all those dogs and owners who participated, and all those to came along just to join in the fun. And special thanks to the family who agree to adopt two dogs which CAS volunteers brought along on the day!
Thanks also to the judges: Nerja Vet - Expedito Cabra, Competa Kennel Owner Terry Weston and Dorothy Barker.
The pictures below show the atmosphere of the day, the judging and the winners in the various classes.

Our Dutch partner Hond zoekt Huis (HzH) visited this week the potential adoption family for Buster. Buster doesn’t realize this, but he will be the 150st dog that is adopted in Holland through HzH.
Of course this milestone would not have been possible without the efforts of all the volunteers and foster families of the Costa Animal Society (CAS) and HzH.
All these 150 lucky B’s can only say one thing: “Thank You for giving me a better life !”

Rafa
Rafa is the yorkshire terrier that Anne and Robin took in last year aged approx 11. He nearly died this winter with kennel cough. Has a flattened wind pipe and only 2 teeth!!!!!!
But he loves life. Will go anywhere Robin goes including the pool. Once in they cannot get him out. Just shows what a bit of TLC can do!
