Where has 2023 gone? Time certainly goes more quickly as you get older!
2023 has been a year of highs and lows. The lowest point obviously when Ted our little chihuahua died suddenly and unexpectedly in May. He came to us as a dog who was “waiting to die”  but then had a further 5 wonderful years with us for which we are so grateful. RIP little Ted, still so very much missed.
The highest point being Alana and her determined battle to good health. Just over a kg when we took her from the pound 6 months ago and at one point given no more than a week to live due to the pain she was in, she has now come through the first operation and surprising everybody, our little miracle girl, albeit a very naughty one! The veterinary and specialist care and support for her have been incredible!
Over the last 12 months we have rehomed another 50+ dogs and puppies in and outside of Spain and receive so many wonderful updates and photographs it makes all the hard work worthwhile. 
As always we have so many people and businesses to sincerely thank for their ongoing support, too many to name individually in this post but I do try and mention in our posts on Facebook. We also remain very grateful to our friends, family, supporters who have helped in so many ways throughout the year. Special mention to our friends in Finland who work so hard to help us home our dogs in wonderful new homes, helping too with financial donations. SOS Charity Shop once again have provided monthly donations towards our vet bills, thank you so much.
Our online shop and market stall have also provided funds that have helped enormously towards the cost of caring for the dogs and puppies at Pawsawhile. The generosity of the donors and buyers has been constant, thank you all.
We hope to continue our rescue work throughout 2024 and if more foster families come forward, perhaps the number of dogs homed will be even higher.

Wishing everybody a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year. Carl & Anita
