The annual march in Strasbourg from the European Parliament this year takes place on 6th June 2015. If you can go, especially with your dog/s, please get in touch with C.R.E.L. All the details are on this link. Look in the top right-hand corner for your language translation. Unfortunately I won’t be able to go as, after breaking vertebrae in my back in January, I am unable to walk far. Let me know if any of you are going.

From a life of Hell in Murcia, Spain – to a live of love in Canada
From Viv Wharton, founder of ACTIN in Murcia.
From the horror they were kept in to utter love and kindness Charlyedrops and Seda, soon to travel to Canada form the loving care of Charlotte del Rio to the loving arms of Sandra Deakin.
We couldn’t rescue from situations like this without the support of other great rescue associations helping by taking the animals for us and your donations and support for the ones we keep in our care until adoption…our work never stops.
Two weeks ago (mid March 2015)we rescued 50 animals from a bad situation and are unable to ask for donations because we cannot report the full story in order to protect people and animals, but the work goes on behind the scenes and we value your help….
Donate to ACTIN here.
