PIGGLES

Lucky Piggles was found wandering on Turtle beach by the Hawkins family from the UK in May 2013.

They fell in love with her and liased with Gian from "Save our Turles" who took her to the TTSPCA Shelter.   After discussion via email the Hawkins decided to adopt her.   She leaves tomorrow on the Condor airline to Frankfurt Germany. The Hawkins are driving from Birmingham, UK to Germany to pick her up and will drive back to the UK through the Chunnel to take PIGGLES to her forever home.

2 kittens adopted in Tobago, happy in their forever home.

RAMONA & SEAL

Ramona and Seal, two abandoned female pups from Buccoo, are going to live in Trinidad in May with their new owner. In the meantime, they are at the TTSPCA, where I go regularly to play with them and, on occasion, take them on an outing (e.g. to the beach). It is important to give homeless animals a loving home—and also to spend time with them, socializing them, interacting with them, letting them play outside of their cages, helping them to remember that they are loved—not alone and forgotten.

BOBBY

Bobby was adopted by Julie King and family while they were staying in a villa in Bacolet.  Bobby attached himself to them and they fell in love with him. So he was microchipped, given a rabies shot and left for the USA a month after they found him

DEXTER

Dexter went to Uk in June 2012.   He had been chopped and his eye was damaged.

Nigel Smith his new owner took him to a Vet Clinic in London where they operated on his eye and he is doing so much better in his forever home showered with love.

Here he is curled up nice and warm... so cute!

SPY DOG

Then there is the story of "spy dog" who was found spying on a family from Trinidad who were vacationing at Stone Haven. 

They fed him while they were here and then surrendered him to the Shelter in the hope we would find him a home.   

After a couple of weeks they missed him so much they arranged to fly him to Trinidad where he has found a 'forever home' living with the Conyers family.

SHADOW

The Shelter has many cats and kittens.

Not many cats are adopted so when Apache fell in love with Shadow we were so happy.
.
Cats are just as much fun to have around as dogs and they are extremely loving when you are kind and loving to them.

TAFFY

Taffy wandered into John and Myma’s house where they fostered her until they had to return to Canada. 
She was then taken to the Shelter, spayed and eventually adopted by "Nzingha" who gave her a 'forever home".    

“Taffy looks a bit nervous” said Nzingha who also assured us she has settled into her new surroundings very well.

MR. MILLIGAN

Mr. Milligan lived with Graham while he was on the Island and when Graham returned to the UK he decided to bring him back.

Mr. Milligan went through the process of micro chipping, being rabies tested and quarantined for 6 months at the Shelter until he was finally ready to depart.

This message came from the dog Mr. Milligan, who had become quite a favourite at the Shelter during his 6 months stay.

“Umm look what was waiting for me when I arrived at my new home . I can tell you it was well worth the journey as this bed is very comfortable . At last I can get a good nights sleep. Love to everyone and thanks to all that helped me get here to the UK . I love it , oh let me tell you they serve very nice fresh chicken here , I am just pretending at the moment that I don't like the dried biscuits , I will make my daddy pay for leaving me behind for so long bye for now” Mr. Milligan.

Note from his owner Graham to say he is doing absolutely great and everyone loves him to bits.

EDDIE

Eddie was adopted by Lizzie and brought to the UK where he lives in Chelsea.

His owner takes him for long walks in the park where he mingles with the other dogs. Everybody
wants to know what breed he is….we know here they are all TOBAGO TERRIERS and make wonderful companions wherever in the world they end up!

CHICO big ears

This lovely little "Being" was found by the roadside with his sister in quite a bad state. She died but he struggled on for days... until one fine morn he let out a huge yelp.. so big that he ran into the corner to hide from himself.. it was his first bark! He's been with the family ever since, and we love him dearly. Mary.
