Being a dog godmother/godfather

I am still so well impressed by the work Julie does in Spain that I always visit her site to see the pictures of the dogs waiting for adoption and read her news. I learned today that one can be a "fadder" (godfather/godmother from a distance as well, by donating a small sum of money once or for a short or long period of time for one of the dogs at her rescue home. I also found news about the people that I understand centralise the contact for the dog adoptions here in Norway, called Team Bergen (text in Norwegian). They also have a group in Facebook.

Nanie

I got to know about a very noble lady in Spain called Julie, that is retired and dedicates her life now helping dogs in need, rescuing them. My sister-in-law bought a dog from her. As far as I understand she cooperates with a another lady in Norway (possibly in other places too) who, on behalf of this lady, places ads in Finn.no, looking for possible buyers. The price charged is used to pay for Vet expenses and the ticket to send the dogs here, so it is a reasonable price. The dogs vary in age and breed.

My heart broke today when I read an ad in Finn.no for a 5 year old female yorkie called Nanie (shown in the picture)whose former owners decided they could not have her anymore and took her to the Vet to be put to sleep. The Vet, feeling sorry for the Nanie, contacted Julie who took care of her and is now trying to find her a new home. It is a very sad story, I think. I admire Julie's efforts in finding new homes for these dogs and I wanted to make sure I mentioned her here.
