Dierenopvang Koningen, one of our
partners in Holland, received a large amount of money from Stichting Dierenlot
(an animal foundation) to help them realize their dream: a special place for
the older shelter dogs. These dogs are having a hard time in a regular shelter
because of the slippery floors and the
temperature among others. Koningen will
create a homely environment where the oldies get special care and also can be
visited by old people from a healthcare institution. A very special project! On
behalf of all people, animals and especially the old dogs from Scooby:
CONGRATULATIONS! We can’t wait to see the results and see old Scooby dogs
walking around there.
Watch the Dutch video of Astrid
Koningen in the building that will become Veccio's Seniorenparadijs. The first
dog you see in the shelter is Scooby’s ten year old Lola and the small black
old dog with a tie is Timon, an old Scoobydog that lives with Astrid now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYrIFcu8YS4
Scooby also has a separate place
for older dogs; the Oldies Garden, with a house with beds and couches to make
them more comfortable in the cold winters and hot summers. But the best thing
for them would be living in a real house with a real family. Please don’t
forget the oldies when you are thinking about adopting a dog.
