This is a little testimony for anyone looking to adopt from T.A.G
I would first like to say a big thank you for the whole T.A.G team bringing my gorgeous Marley to me and my boyfriend.

 Karen puts her heart and soul into rescuing many animals in Turkey.  Many people say why adopt from a country so far away and not just give money - My response which a very wise women named Jessie Rescued said to me once 'You can't change the world for all dog's but you can change the world for one'.

Giving a dog a home instead of donating for that one dog is giving it a life, they are happy in a kennel because that is all they know rehoming a dog and giving it a life, food, social skills and happiness is one of the most rewarding things I can now say I have done. I have taken that one dog who came from a life of abuse and god knows what else the chance of a happy and content life!.

... Karen works day in and day out to feed stray dogs, takes them to her home helps them with any problems, raises money for medical care and socialises them into the kennels which doesn't stop there.  All the dogs are loved and given plenty of cuddles and human contact.

 When I collected Marley - I could see how much he didn't want to leave her, she burst into tears as she had grown such an attachment to Marley and him to her, she muttered the words ''my boy, you have a home'' if I ever want to realise truly what I did by adopting its remembering that beautiful moment- this is what it is all about.  The woman in my eyes is an angel and all the team behind the scenes who manage the charity and help show courage, patience, care, consideration and much more.

I am forever in T.A.G'S debt and will always help with donations when I can, if you do adopt from her send her updates and piccies, remember she was their first mummy and the first person to show kindness to them.

T.A.G thank you so much for getting the boy safe here and all the other doggies - thank you for sleeping in the van at night with them Karen and not wanting to leave their side, thank you Denise Harris,  Mo & Sheila French for giving us updates and thankyou Jessie for helping with all of the charity work and supporting me through the process.

Karen thank you for everything you did.

Transporting dogs out of Turkey.....

...is no mean feat.  There is a terrific amount of legal paperwork to put in place, along with micro-chipping, vaccinations, blood tests, etc, etc.  Then the transport has to be arranged.  A van with suitable cages for the animals, food supplies and water.   And then the long journey, accompanied by one person to every 5 animals,  through Turkey and Europe to the final destination.

One such journey took place last week, and 7 dogs and 1 cat were safely delivered to their owners or adopters/fosterers.  Here are just some of the photos from that trip.

Handsome Gumbo - From the beach in Gumbet where he was spotted by Mo who could not leave him.  He came to the TAG shelter until everything was arranged for his journey to the UK.
