This is Blondie at 6 months,who we took off the Turkish streets in Dalyan at the end of May 2012. Basically she adopted us and we totally fell in love with her and wanted to give her a better life with us in the UK!!
After a very hard start with us accidentally trusting the wrong woman ( whom we were told ran a bona fide dog sanctuary). Karen and Mustafa came to the rescue and did all they could to get my beloved Blondie away from the dodgy sanctuary woman.

She refused to give her up and even had her spayed without our permission ( from which she nearly died, as she was operated on by trainees at the local vets ).
To cut a very long and fraught story short, TAG went above and beyond and with the help of the local Jandarma (Military Police) with their guns drawn, my little girl was free and in Mustafa's arms... Karen was able to offer a safe place for Blondie to stay until she could be brought into the UK..which Karen helped us to arrange through TAG. To say that we were over the moon to get her in our arms once again in November 2012 was an understatement.
We owe everything to Karen and Mustafa, because without them Blondie would have definitely died either of starvation or other neglect issues at the so called animal sanctuary. Or she would have been poisoned or shot at the end of the season.
They have done so much to care for as many street animals as possible, feeding, creating a spay/neuter release scheme for local street dogs ( now 517 dogs have been spayed/neutured) and obtaining veterinary care for them when necessary. This is on top of caring for 70+ dogs at the TAG shelter.
