Hello, Holly,

I thought you might be interested to know that the Wood Green Animal Shelter at Godmanchester in Cambridgeshire has recently taken in several stray dogs from Romania. They have all been vaccinated, neutered and microchipped and are now looking for new homes.

We have re-homed a darling little one called Funny. She is a sandy-tan colour and looks like a cross between a yellow labrador and a whippet, with possibly a touch of bull terrier! She was very nervous when we brought her home ten days ago, but she has settled in well with our old dog, Holly (!) and is as gentle and loving a companion as you could wish for. That is, unless you are a young child, cyclist, jogger, cat, rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, chicken.......we have quite a bit of training to do before we can let her off the lead!

One out of the many thousands doesn't make much difference, I suppose, but I can assure you this one at least has found a loving and secure home.
