SHELTER
SITUATION
While we thought that the proposal would get some resistance
from him at first, things went much better than expected. Mr.
Manolis was agreeing with everything and the dinner ended
with happy mood, teary eyes and better team spirit than ever.
During the past few weeks he has been there to guide the
volunteers on things that he has done alone so far. How to
clean the gutters, which medication each dog has, when was
the last time parasite treatment was given to each animal and
what are the things that need to be considered daily, like
leaving the cat door open at nights for the strays.
As our volunteers learn how to run the daily things at the
shelter, his visits get shorter and on the best days he comes to
the shelter to have a coffee, cuddle with the dogs, give us
some much needed feedback and fill in some paperwork. The
rest of his time goes to meetings with lawyers and handling the
paperwork only he can do. Of course he’s still doing the stray
animal rounds, meeting his cat friends with fresh meal daily.
