We were pleased to receive updates on two rescue dogs: Lily, a recent passenger from Spain; and Sylvia, who travelled with us from Greece in the summer.

Meanwhile, courier Richard has been out and about in Brussels and Paris; and couriers J and R have had a houseguest.

Lily from Spain

Lovely Lily, who travelled with us from Huelva, has a wonderful new home in Devon.

Sylvia from Greece

Sylvia, who travelled with us from the Filozoikos Shelter in Greece, was partway through a dog training programme in the UK when she chose her own new home! At a charity event, she pulled her trainer over towards Peter and Sally — who immediately fell for her and have now adopted her.

Courier Richard travelled to Brussels to collect Moira’s gorgeous cats Polly and Charley for their journey to Stockport.

A few days later, courier Richard headed to Charles de Gaulle airport to meet handsome hound Finlay and his owner Rebecca. They had flown from Brazil to Paris, where courier Richard collected them and drove them into the UK. Their final destination is Pembroke in Wales.
