First and above all, we at Scooby are very grateful for all
the gifts, donations and support we get from you. Although at times this is giving us
logistical problems...
Each time we drive back to Spain from another one of our dog transports
to bring dogs to their new homes, we return with a van loaded with food,
blankets, medicine etc.
So much that last time we almost got fined because we were
overloaded!
But there was so much left of goods that you had donated that
still needed to be taken to Spain,
especially dogfood. So we really needed
to do something about that because we don't want you to think we are not happy
with the food you donated, and instead of having it stored in a warehouse, we
would prefer to have this food in the belly of our dogs!
Fortunately, through Cobie's contacts we found a company
willing to bring the food to Spain,
but now we had to arrange for the all the food (mind you: we were talking about
approx 8000 kg!) to be delivered
there in Zeewolde.
So, we send our Mr Muscles.. actually, two of them (Pablo and Said) to the Netherlands
and Belgium, and after
delivering dogs to Galgos Ardenne Bleu in Belgium first, they started to
collect, load and unload all the food that was stored on the various locations,
collected by Vanessa, Lucy and Jacinta.. there was so much they even got help
from a friend of one of our volunteers who drives a van! To give you an idea, they had between them 3
or 4 runs to just get one location cleared!
After two runs, what you see in the picture is what still remained to be
transported!
