However, we met this wonderful stray dog which we called Lilly on the beach where she lived and where our hotel was. She would also come into the hotel yard but people who work at the hotel were not impressed and I saw a cowardly bloke who works in the hotel hit her with a stick in an endeavor to keep her away. That did not quite work because I was feeding her every day and gave her water as she was incredibly underweight. In the end we went to GSPCA and told them we wanted to adopt her and take her with us to the UK and they helped us with all the jabs and micro-chipped her and even helped us find a foster family for her before she is ready to fly out to the UK in September. Lilly is now officially off the beach and in safe hands of a local person who looks after her very well. Like a few people above mentioned GSPCA is doing an amazing jobs for many stray dogs as well as cats in Grenada with no funding from the government apart from donations so if you can donate any little helps. Their gofundme page is:<br /><br />http://www.gofundme.com/GSPCASpayNeuter <br /><br />and you also follow Lilly's story on Facebook. Her Facebook name is Lilly Grenada Morne Rouge.

She's a friendly dog who likes to accompany vacationers on their walks along the beach. She's well cared for but, has gotten quite old. I know her. While it is true there are many dogs in Grenada who are cared for, there are many who are not and we are grateful to the GSPCA for the help they give dogs and cats in trouble that are brought in to them. Many dogs are kept in small home made kennels as "watch dogs" and rarely get to come out. That would be one of them up in the photo with the dog sticking his head out from underneath his kennel. Please do if you are able, to give a little donation to the GSPCA at the address given in the comment above. jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732358856419035775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2917554852791007317.post-68235748525727544722013-01-27T23:04:51.522-08:002013-01-27T23:04:51.522-08:00If your vacation has been planned, do not hesitate...If your vacation has been planned, do not hesitate to think about your dog’s staying when you are not at home.
