Glad to see you were able to help Andy  :)

How are the elderly couple doing? It must have been so very hard on them :(

Title: Re: Very Urgent Appeal
Post by: tinkerman on March 16, 2013, 15:31:39 PM

the dogs are being collected on Monday and taken to Mad About Mutts private kennels, they will stay there whilst we find a new home for them  :) maybe with a view to sending them to England at a later date to be re-untied with the owners  :)
The couple are returning to England in the next week or so  :(

Hope the dogs can be reunited with them soon, happy to chip in if raising funds might be needed.

I hope they have good support of family & friends when they get back, such a terrible thing to happen to anyone :(

Very best wishes to them.

Colin and Linda are now both settled in the Uk, sadly Colin is quite ill with cancer now, we have now started an appeal to get their animals back to the UK and we are also planning an event to raise money for the cause.

if anyone wishes to donate please go to our website www.animalaidfethiye.org and press donations for our Paypal account

The two dogs and cat are all doing well and injections and microchipping sorted, probably another three months before they can go.

Thank you    :)

Name and shame the builder Tinx so that we can unrecommend him to everyone who might be looking for a builder. Let's put the boot in! >:(

Hi Tinks, just asked Luke if he will transfer £20 to AA from his PP acc for me, as I don't have one.  Wish I could do more, but..... mortgage to pay etc.

I agree with SteveJ -  Those who are responsible need to be Named, I'd like to say '& Shamed', but I don't honestly believe these poor excuses are capable of feeling any Shame!) >:(

I liked the photo's on the Horse Racing event in Fethiye Times today  :)  Looked like you all had a fab time  :)

Best wishes xx

So sorry to hear about the couple and their pets, have made a donation through Pay Pal, its not a lot but if we all managed a tenner we could make it more likely that they can be reunited.

I have donated £50 as promised, shameful the way this couple were robbed of their life savings, the least we can do is reunite them with their beloved pets.

I'd like to contribute but I don't have a PayPal account. Is there an other way?

Title: Re: Very Urgent Appeal
Post by: Scunner on June 26, 2013, 19:44:01 PM

If you go to the site and follow the fundraising/donate Paypal route, there is an option bottom left for non-Paypallers.

Andy donation sent from Mrs Ticket and myself, plus Mick and Kim Hayes.  Good luck with raising the money.

Perhaps any surplus could be used to hire a couple of good old fashion heavies to visit the builder >:( >:(

I have just seen the donors list from Paypal, thank you so much :D, we are now over £500 which is well on the way to getting these animals home asap to be with Colin and Linda Sunshine.
There is a big fundraising party being planned towards end of July, further details to follow shortly  ;)

Thanks for the update Tinks  :)

How much does it actually cost to 'repatriate'  :) furry friends back to the UK?

Title: Re: Very Urgent Appeal
Post by: tinkerman on July 05, 2013, 15:24:02 PM

probably looking toward £2,000 for the dogs and cat.  :)

Expensive, but worth every penny to see this family reunited  :)
