The Gido cave rescue dogs need homes, transport will be paid

Dear all,

it has come to my attention via Dr. Anteneh Roba of Amsale Gessesse Memorial Foundation, that the 4 dogs rescued in June 2007 from Gido Washa cave in Ethiopia, are now desperately in need of good homes following their ordeal.

The reason I am writing this urgent plea is because HAPS (Homeless Animals Protection Society) in Ethiopia, may sadly have to close their doors in the near future due to lack of funds. Dr. Roba has offered to pay transportation costs for the dogs to be rehomed in UK and maybe elsewhere if homes can be found. Please contact me and I will pass any offers of help to Dr. Roba, or you can contact him personally on the email address below or visit the Amsale Gessesse website..

Furthermore if anyone can help HAPS to stay open by volunteering support to raise their profile and especially with immediate funding, I know they would be so grateful to hear from you, their website address is also in the mail details below. This is really a crisis and I would hate to see these beautiful dogs that overcame all the odds and survived not only their abandonment but also their desperate rescue, end up euthanized purely because there is nowhere for them to go.

Please help if you can and if possible share my email with as many advocates and friends as you can.

With best wishes and HUGE THANKS

Love from Maria xx

Dear Deb,

thank you so much for your message and for offering to pass on the alert, you will be thrilled to hear the dogs are going to a new home in USA!!!!!! Here is the letter I received this morning from Efrem at HAPS in Ethiopia -

Dear all,

We are very much happy that our recently saved four dogs found a lovely home in USA which can make them not remember their past terrible situation while in Gido washa /manmade cave/.

This is all possible with a great collaborative effort of Amsale Gessesse Memorial Foundation /AGMF/ USA President Dr. Anteneh T. Roba and Maria Daines, a kind person for the animals and the world’s most popular singer.

In this opportunity we would like to inform you that our supporter from the beginning and honorable ANIMAL PEOPLE News paper published the article on its July/August edition “Saving one small dog informed the world”.

Holy! That is so fantastic! These are the things that give us a "light at the end of the tunnel" and keep us going. When your heart and soul goes into such gut-wrenching work, it's so easy to feel totally overwhelmed and hopeless. Then, a success happens and you get a second wind. Cheers for you!!! deb
