When you have suffered mentally and physically this is the perfect way to chill out and forget your worries.

Remember all the gory pictures that I post of very poorly road traffic accidents or maggot dogs that put me in Facebook prison? Well this is the next stage of their rehabilitation, chilling out with friends and having fun is a great way of healing broken souls and mending bodies.

A poor little dog struggling on the streets. He came into our care and please look at his picture in commfnts to see him now.

Recently a man left a comment about how sorry he felt for his neighbour's donkey and asked if we could help him find another so that the donkey could retire. I explained that we could never give a donkey to an owner like this and feeling sorry is not enough, we must all do our best to right the wrongs that we see. In fairness to this man, Mr.Sillah, he did just this, persuaded his neighbour to hand over his donkey and he phoned us to come and collect it. We now have another donkey who is broken both physically and mentally and Mr. Sillah has our thanks and respect for going the extra mile for a suffering creature. It is wonderful that people have the empathy to recognise suffering and the will to take positive action.

Today we were called by a really caring Gambian man who saw a donkey being so badly beaten that he just could not ignore it. The police were involved and confiscated the donkey who is now in our care. Dr. Daffeh has written a full and comprehensive report for the police. Apparently the perpetrator is from Mali and has recently arrived in The Gambia. He will not get his donkey back and tonight Bundung is starting the long road to recovery. Poor donkey, he is so shut down and despite pain relief is still feeling battered and bruised.
We commend and thank the kind gentleman who was this donkey's saviour. There should be more people lime this around.

Thank you just isn't enough. Amanda and Animal Support Angels you are just the very best. We fitted a lot of bags into my faithful van Billy, tben my phone rang and Amanda just kept filling 😀. Billy and I creaked hom, Bea did a bit of reorganising and packing and two pallets are now at Redcoat Express Ltd awaiting shipment. Amanda supplies a lot of charities and thousands upon thousands of animals benefit from her generosity. Thank you Amanda, you are an extraordinary person and the world is a better place because you are in it.

A young lad arrived yesterday with his dog. He had walked for at least 12 miles to try to find help for it. It was another bad maggot case. The staff taught him how to clean and dress the wound and he loved been given the responsibility of caring for his friend. The dog has been hospitalised but we feel sure he will be visiting it. We may also have found a new future staff member because he did an excellent job.

Show me and I may remember,
Involve me and I learn"

These are just a few of the dogs who share our lives, each one with his or her own story and each one waiting for their own special person to give them all that tbey need including love and respect.

A kind man reported this abandoned donkey. This poor creature has clearly suffered so much. He came into us last Monday along with 2 other donkeys in need. He has been named Warrior.
We hope that once his immediate veterinary needs have been attended to and are healed, he can learn about being a retired gentleman and learn that things can get better.

Good news re Billy, on his post treatment blood test there were no parasites to be sen. Tbis does not mean he is out of the woods yet, but it gives us cause for cautious optimism.
