Today we released Florence and Rafah in the streets after their spaying operation. Before they leave we make a last inspection on the stitches. They stayed a week in aftercare and this is usually more than enough for the healing. Because they go back in the streets we give it some more time. Everything looked fine and we could leave the clinic. It is only a two minutes drive with the tricycle so before they actually could understand what was happening they were already back in their safe spots among friends and family.

Tarzan and Mercy were very happy to see their mommy. Florence got a warm welcome from the pack.

Rafah was happy to see her sisters Sila and Rumi.

Both dogs got a Rabies vaccination and ear tags in a bright colour.

They don't understand what this was all about but we know. No more litters!! Less suffering!!

Thanks Ahmed and Mohamed for the smooth release.

Yesterday puppy Mercy had her second combi vaccination and is now fully vaccinated. In the picture you can see her with one of her friends, Sila. The mother of Mercy is currently in the clinic where she had her spaying operation recently. It is so nice to see how the pack members are taking care of the little ones.

Thanks to Ahmed who is always helping me with the outdoor medical care.

If I walk on the sand road heading to the sandpile pack Saphir is the first one spotting me and when he sees me he is taking a spurt with joy. While he is running he is dancing and the pack follows him. First he was still on alert not knowing if he could show off but they just take him as he is, a total Goofy. It's funny that they love him so much since he is eating all their food. He is just irresistible, licking my hands and jumping on me and then diving in my trolley looking up to me asking "what's for dinner"?. He can't wait and while I am refilling their water bowl he tries to steal food from the trolley. I serve the food on plates made of dryfood bags. Once I put the food Saphir is running wildly from plate to plate and it is hard to refill all the plates quickly. The intake of his food is faster than my hands. My last clients are Samara and her friend on the bridge, the blind cat and a pack of 6 dogs I pass on my way back home. Saphir is insatiable and follows me on the bridge where he tries to steal the food of Samara. But he knows that he can't go further. The other pack doesn't accept intruders. While I am feeding the last six dogs a man on a motorbike stops and looks at the eating dogs. He puts his thumb up and thank me for feeding the dogs. That was a really nice end of my feeding round.

Every night I am feeding around 70 stray dogs and some cats. This is huge and needs a lot of money. If you could see these happy, healthy well fed dogs in a harsh environment you would understand that it's more than worth it. Please help me to continue with my mission. 🐕💗

It turns out that Saphir, the dog with mange, is a complete sweetheart. The pack took him in and they let him eat as much as he wants. Every day these lovely creatures surprise me with yet another smart or sweet thing.

Saphir is a happy dog now, running up to me with a wagging tail. He is eating very well, I could manage to put water in front of a car wash where Saphir even sleeps on a blanket. But most important he has friends and he belongs. And that all in such a short time. I found him in a terrible condition, in fear and emaciated only ten days ago. 💚🍀

Sweet encounters with Samara. 💜💗

Today we could catch Florence for spaying. Florence is the mother of Tarzan and Mercy. Since this pack is residing near my house they get a lot of attention and cuddles. I knew it was going to be an easy catch. I recently started to pick Florence up so she was already used to this.

I only had to give a call to the nearby clinic and 5 minutes later the tricycle arrived. I could put a leash on her and Ahmed of the clinic could pick her up. One of the pack members, Sila, chased us. She also needs to be spayed. She will be next.

At the clinic Florence was very calm, already making friends as you can see in the picture. 🐕💗

Remember this little guy? I fed him in the streets for almost a year. Blind and unable to fend for himself.

But then his lucky day came. A cat shelter in the area took him in. It turned out that they could bring back his eyesight with treatment. He also has been neutered. Now he is living happy days with friends, dry food, can food, fresh drinkingwater and protection from the heat and cold.

Sometimes wishes come true.

Recently I kicked off with a little project to help donkeys and horses in Saqqara.

As most of you will know donkeys and horses are often not treated in the best way in this country to put it nicely. They work in extreme weather conditions, carrying heavy loads and instead being rewarded they often are being mistreated.

Many times I pulled out wooden sticks out of the hands of cruel owners, cursing them to hell. However this approach will not stop the abuse so I had to come up with something else.

The idea is to hand out fly masks and nose bands to owners of donkeys and horses under the condition that they treat their animals well. With this small act I can address the suffering of the animals in a positive way. If I am willing to invest in the wellbeing of their animals I can ask something in return and I have more rights to interfere.

It is actually a great success so far. Today I handed out another two masks for donkeys in the area that are being treated well. No beatings, no heavy loads, a full tummy, fresh drinking water and shade is all what I ask for. I also ordered nose bands to protect the noses against injuries from head wear. The owners of the donkeys were very happy and promised me that they would take good care of their animals. There was an owner of a buffalo asking for a mask. I will see if I can arrange to make one tailor made

Through a contact working with horses and donkeys I found this guy making fly masks and nose bands. A fly mask for a horse only costs Euro 3,25 and for a donkey Euro 1,60. The nosebands only cost Euro 0,50. Please help me to beat the flies of Saqqara and at the same time to beat the abuse and neglect.

It's going very well with puppy Tarzan and Mercy. They have a nice hang out and the family get food and fresh water twice daily. The puppies are blessed having their mum Florence, grandma Femke and uncle Fabian around.

I named him Saphir. Dumped in the area. Skin over bones and suffering from mange. Not aware of the pack rules. Brave and gentle. He trusted me directly as his protector and food provider. After some introduction rituals most of the packs accepted him, knowing he had no place to go and needed help.
