As I have said on here before, too many people are taking advantage of our good nature, we do fundraising to help stray dogs and cats find homes or get medical treatment.
We are not responsible for getting your dog/cat to the shelter when you no longer want it or when you are going back to the UK for good, as from today anybody requiring this service it will cost you at least 50ytl and this will go to the charity.
Thank you all for your continued support :) ;)
-
Right on! I would add another 25TL as a tip ;)
-
Good shout Andy. People over there take the **** sometimes.
-
People who request this service from you should be prepared to pay. So charge them and this will pay for your fuel and add to the animals welfare pot. x You do a really great job x Dont let people take advantage of your good nature x
-
Another one who says good shout Andy.

Reminds me of people (several times) emailing to say they would like to spend a couple of days viewing property in the Calis area. "We are holidaying in Marmaris, what time would you collect us from our hotel?"
-
Well done, if anyone also who wants to get rid of their BELOVED pet, obviously not so beloved, should pay a hefty donation to the animal sanctuary, I suppose it,s cheaper than taking them back to England with them
-
That is a brilliant idea Sarah like you say far cheaper then the cost and inconvience of taking the animal back to UK, maybe they should be charged kennel/cattery charges until their pet finds a new loving family.
-
That is a good idea for genuine caring responsible people but could encourage those who don't fit that category just to abandon:(
-
I think those that are likely to abandon are also most unlikely to make a call to the AA guys anyway...
-
Caring responsible people would take their pets back with them or spend a few months beforehand trying to re-home, not leave it til the last minute and contact us to do dirty deed.
-
I would also like to point out this has nothing to do with Sugarybaba who went home very ill and left her dogs with us last week, one of which was rehomed immediately.
-
When we moved from Germany back to the UK, I even put my rabbits through quarantine for 6 months. If you have pets be prepared to take them back with you. Don't dump them on someone else.
-
I think i know the dog Tinkerman is talking about - she has been adopted by a friend of mine. Maisey (the dog) is the sweetest thing you could ever come across and already follows my friend everywhere. She has an amazing temperment.
When I left the Middle East, due to where I lived, i had 4 flights over 2 days. Never once did i consider leaving my cat behind. She had never been on an aeroplane before but coped very well. Like many people on the forum, i have no understanding of people who are so willing to just desert their pets. You make provisions for them and show them the loyalty and love they show you.
-
I,m afraid I couldn,t even be polite to anyone taking their animals to the sanctuary because their leaving the country
-
To take pets back to Britain costs a great deal of money whichever way you do it. Unfortunately not everyone is able or willing to pay the amount it costs. I cannot condemn people who do take their pets to the sanctuary. If people are returning to Britain and do not own their own property a lot of rentals do not allow pets.
We have had an adventure with our dogs travelling back across Europe and own our home in England but it is not always an option for someone who has taken in a pet in Turkey.It is so easy to start feeling sorry for a street dog in Turkey and just try and help then circumstances change.I suppose the answer is do not take in a Turkish dog if you think that you may leave the country eventually.
-
We don't condemn people who take there dogs to the centre if it really has to be done and all re-homing avenues have been exhausted, what do condemn is people expecting us to do it for them and for nothing.
