When one thing good occurs, it might imply so much. To eight-year-old ‘Nola’, an ex-Romanian foundling, her home to Portugal through Belgium, it means so much when her young busy proprietor determined ‘Nola’ wanted a break.
Her non-existent way of life, as a consequence of proprietor’s busy work agenda, meant residency with Gary and Wendy at Pet Park (Mexilhoeira Grande) almost everlasting. They and APAA wanted to search out her a home. Godmothers exist and fairy tales do come true.
“It is like she has always been here,” Nola’s new mum beamed. “She’s a brilliant guard-dog and companion. Everything in one big hairy tail wagging canine friend.”
Jenny Clarke, president of the Association for Protection of Animals Algarve (APAA), has been busy together with her agenda, between delivering goodies to their charity retailers at Alvor and Silves and cat meals to Zélia for her numerous cat colonies.
APAA’s look at Convento’bio in Lagoa was an unlimited success. It was a fantastic, crisp however sunny, autumn morning. “We were kept busy, that is for sure!” stated Jenny and predominant ‘Pop-Up’ woman Anita who’ve already signed up for his or her pre-Christmas stall occasion. Watch out!
Whilst manoeuvring round together with her white van, Jenny managed to pop into Nada’s ‘Portimão Soup Kitchen’ jazz occasion, re-donating APAA’s share of the ‘takings’ again to hard-working Nada and her charity. “Here to Help is, after all, our motto!” Jenny’s job is conserving the money circulation for everybody in want.
