Here’s the story of how this frightened darling little Podenco went from rags to riches!
Tasha was rescued over a year ago after having been ignored in all likelihood for many months by people walking past. We only found out
about her when PEPA was involved in another rescue and were alerted that there was a stray injured podenco. Tasha…..
The shoe box was lying outside our garden gate. Immediately I knew it was one of mine because of the familiar product name on the lid. ‘Strange,’ I thought. ‘How on earth did my shoe box get into the lane?’ Of course, I immediately blamed the dogs! It had to be one of them messing about! Little rascals, they must have pushed it through the railings. After all, it did look a bit crushed. Obviously, a new lesson in the…..

When I saw the small, wicker basket lying on its side, the lid tightly closed, I feared the worst. I wasn’t wrong! Inside, were the most beautiful fluffy white bundles I had ever seen. Two tiny heads, four bright blue eyes, stared up at me. …..

One day, in the middle of something I was meant to be doing, I decided to sit down and count the number of cats who have come into my life over the years. It was a lovely experience. Each time I wrote a cat’s name a special memory popped up in…..
Hello everybody,
My reason for having written Wanted: A Forever Home was to raise lots of money for the animal charity my husband and I founded in Spain in the year 2005, so with every book sold I have promised to give a donation to P.E.P.A. (Protección y Educación para Animales) Registered NIF G97646921.
