It’s been another wonderful year of reuniting pets and people, both on the road and in the air. We’ve made lots of new friends, and have enjoyed meeting up with familiar faces.
We continue to be impressed by the work done by so many animal charities and shelters, taking care of stray and unwanted animals, and finding new homes for so many lucky pups and kits.
On our latest European road trip, which took us to France, Spain and Portugal and back, we saw some marvellous Christmas scenes and decorations. Here’s a selection…
A festive scene in La Cala de Mijas
This hotel was all decked out, ready to welcome Santa
Santa’s little helpers waiting for us at the hotel reception
Beautiful Christmas tree spotted in this rather gorgeous Arab-influenced lobby
Inventive ‘Christmas tree’ at a motorbike rental store in Portugal
Father Christmas in Calais, dispensing with Rudolph and opting for a faster mode of transport to reach everyone in time
Lovely P&O staff at Calais wishing us ‘joyeux Noel’
It just remains for us to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who’s been a client, a follower, or a Facebook friend during 2016. We wish everyone the happiest of holidays, and send our very best wishes for 2017.
Special Christmas greetings from our web team’s menagerie: Milly, George, (camera-shy) Iggy, Tinker, Bean and Pippin
Happy Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa to you all. Thanks for making sure the furry ones make it safe to their new homes
Thanks SSG! Hope your festive season was good? All the best for 2017.
You are the best!! Our furry and feathered friends would be in very bad shape without you and your helpers!
You really are Santa Claus after all – we just spied you crossing the pond and headed our way tonight…
Merry Christmas to all!!
Thanks Sheila! We are busy over Christmas, but not quite THAT BUSY 😀
may your compassion for animals
continue inspiring hearts
across the world 🙂
Thank you! If we all do our small part in helping those in need it can make a big difference 😀

Thanks guys! Wishing you all the very best for 2017.
Beautiful decorations!
I hope the furry team were adequately compensated for wearing hats!
Clowie – how could you think that they’d do anything for free? 😀
Happy Holodays to you and to all happy clients who are united now :o) the horse is fabulous, the mama would get one too… but my dad says the bike is a cool decoration idea too… and you can use it even for the whole year :o)
Hi DP and humans! Yes, the horse seemed like a good idea but didn’t respond well to carrots 😉 The bike would certainly speed things up and, as you say, is useful all year round.
Happy Holidays my friends. The size of that gingerbread house had mom up and begging for part of the door. A fantastic cookie…a gingerbread door. MOL
Shoko and Kali
Hi Shoko and Kali – hope 2017 has started well for you. Now, we’ve seen what Mom can produce on the gingerbread front — this certainly has it for size but we’d much rather eat one of Mom’s 😀
You do wonderful work throughout the years, Annie and team Animalcouriers. Keep up the good work in 2017..we know you will 😉 Pawkisses for a wonderful, Happy and Healthy New Year to all of you 🙂 <3
Dear Little B and Granny, thanks for your very kind words! Here’s to lots more fun and games in 2017 for us all 😀
