Message from Ines Canavarro, Portugal Dog Rescue – they now have Esperanca safe but she has a broken leg, is on medication for pain control until she can be operated on. The police, mayor and municipal vet are working on a prosecution. No pix yet. (This is the last one of the family of Estrela, Duke, Foguete – all now safe. Foguete is no longer having fits! Yea!). Sorry – still a couple more to get out, see Ines’ update

Good news, the best of news! Thank you so much for saving them all.
So pleased that you have her. Shame she has a broken leg but this can be fixed I hope. I hope the bastard owner gets prosecuted big time
UPDATE 21/12/13: For those who remember, Estrela and Foguete had more offspring, two of whom remained with their horrible owner to replace their mum Estrela. This was the only way we could get Estrela out. Esperança is one of those pups, she was now rescued by Teresa as she was let loose and ended up being ran over by a car. She was taken to the vet and has a nasty luxation that will need surgery or she will stop growing altogether and will get a life time injury that won’t heal. Like Foguete, Esperança is severely emaciated and extremely fearful of people, especially men. She loses control of her bladder out of fear and will need a long recovery. She is also so used to live in poor conditions, that she refuses her bed and sleep in the hard cold cement floor instead. She is being medicated for pain and has an X-ray booked in Animalia, the animal hospital in Beja, and will also need help to treat her leg. Foguete has meanwhile been diagnosed with an extra systolic heartbeat as a consequence of the overdose, and is now on heart medication to avoid arrytmia, and Teresa was warned to be careful as poor Foguete can have another cardiac arrest without warning. Thank you all that have sent them specialist food, so far Teresa hasn’t received any other item, but is most grateful for all your help. THANK YOU
Hi Jane, please can you let me know what Teresa might need. I am able to make a donation on Monday. Please can you let me know what would be best to do ie to send food or a donation. Please give some details, as I would like to help in the best way possible for Teresa. Thank you.

Hi Jenny I am trying to donate to Portugal Dog Rescue on their website but it won’t go through, goes through to PayPal site but then says action cannot be completed. If anyone has the PayPal address for them then please let me know. I can then login to PayPal, type in their address and donate. Otherwise I will try again tomorrow and try and work out if it is something I am getting wrong!
