The entertainment will be provided by the fabulous Flying Dolphins and there will be a Grand Raffle with fantastic prizes, so buy your raffle tickets early.

Flea, tick and mosquito season
With the warmer weather approaching, the Costa Animal Society would like to remind people to step up their vigilance against fleas, ticks, worms and other parasites which can possibly transmit diseases such as Lyme Disease and Leishmaniasis to your pets.
Consult your vet about spot-on treatments, collars, worming treatments and inoculations. And remember, prevention is often the best cure.
Mini’s Story
Mini was abandoned when a young Spanish couple found they could no longer look after her. Both of her owners lost their jobs last year and after struggling for months they had to give up their apartment in Torrox Costa.
Their only option of survival was to move in with the young woman’s mother, who lives in a small flat of her own in Madrid, but Mini would have to be left behind.
Mini is a small whippet sized, female dog who weighs about seven kilos. She is very sweet natured and maybe a little bit excitable, but that may be because she does not quite comprehend what has happened to her once happy life.
If you could find a place in your home for this lovely little dog, please call Seacrest on 95 252 1426.

Residents’ Day and Car-Boot Markets
The Costa Animal Society would like to send out a big thank you to all of our volunteers who put in countless hours to make the CAS stalls at Residents’ Day in Nerja and the Sunday Car Boot Markets each week a smashing success.
