Food is underway!


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!

But all in all.. the food is underway, our dogs won't go hungry.. And we really do appreciate all your support  for which we thank you, with a special thanks to Cynthia for her help, please keep the donations coming, we will find a way to get it to our doggies' bellies!
