"As a result of the current economic recession all animal charities,including P.A.D., have suffered tremendous financial problems from both a reduction in donations,memberships, sponsorships etc and a growing number of abandoned animals.These circumstances,along with certain accrued liabilities not disclosed to the current committee until shortly prior to the AGM,earlier this year,have resulted in the current committee having to consider all options for the on-going funding of the charity.During this review the committee received an offer to purchase the land which houses the cattery..As part of this offer we have been offered a 10 year lease at a peppercorn rent of one euro per month.This offer,apart from being almost equivalent to the book value of the land will enable the charity, not only to pay off the aforementioned accrued liabilities but will provide the charity with a significant buffer fund to help us through any future crises.These funds will not be used to finance on-going costs but will be held separately and only used for projects which will enhance our ability to look after both the existing and future animals entrusted to our care.The committee strongly urges all members to vote for the resolution at the EGM."

Tickets cost just €28 for a three course meal and drinks. You will be entertained by the belly dancing troop ´El karma` and there will be live music. Go along to support your local animal charity and have fantastic night out too!
About PAD
PAD is a privately run charity in the Mijas/Fuengirola area that specialises in the rehabilitation and re‐homing of abandoned dogs and cats. Since the shelter opened in December 1998 they have found new homes for 5000 dogs and cats. All of the animals are cared for by qualified veterinarians and are fully vaccinated and micro-chipped. The running costs for an animal shelter are extremely high, as well as everyday food costs there are also bills for vaccinations, neutering and micro-chipping. The charity relies on the kind donations made by the public, and they hold regular fund-raising events.
Open Day
The shelter has an open day on the 1st Sunday of every month, the next one will be on Sunday the 1st August at 12pm to 3pm. There are many cats and dogs at the shelter right now who are in desperate need of a caring, loving home. If you are thinking about adopting a new pet then please visit the shelter and you may consider making one of them your friend and companion for life.

Henry was a pad dog and was adopted in Jan 2008 and then found wandering in Riveria Del Sol, his supposed owners address non-existent and the mobile phone number dead, so he has returned to PAD, he weighs approx 20kilos and has a good character.

Sunday 11 July 2010 Trip to Helsinki  I arrived at Helsinki 15 Minutes past midnight and I left Malaga at 14.30, just sorted all the dogs, new owners and paperwork and the 19.30 flight arrived with my other 2 dogs on. So sorted those out and got to Millas house 04.30 straight to bed and was picked up at 07.00, so not a lot of sleep. [ Read the rest... ] Tuesday 06 July 2010 Brin the British Troop Mascot  A hero stray dog who saved the lives of British troops has been rescued from the Taliban in a daring raid by Afghan commandos. Brin the Afghan hound was adopted by Coldstream Guards and handed over to Gurkha Rifles troops after wandering on to their base several months ago. The friendly desert dog, who looks like a cross between a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Jack Russell, then started following them on patrols into the Taliban badlands. Soon the clever pooch started barking at suspicious-smelling mounds in the dirt which were found to be deadly Taliban roadside bombs. It meant soldiers were able to avoid the explosives and in some cases destroy them.
For the past few months Brin has made himself at home at Patrol Base 4, where B Company, 1st Battalion, Royal Gurkha Rifles are based, surrounded by Taliban. British troops began to value Brin’s company and locals heard the Taliban were becoming angry the Brits had flown in a “specially trained SAS dog”. [ Read the rest... ] |
