Hotel staff buy food for dogs

Staff at the Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana have collected funds and bought food supplies for the Association for Abandoned Animals (AAA) in anticipation of their visit to founder Freddie Fenech's animal shelter in Marsa.

Well over 100 dogs have found refuge at the shelter and are cared for by over 40 volunteers. These dedicated animal lovers even nurse sick dogs in their own homes not to jeopardise the health of the other dogs.

The hotel said most of these dogs have had unfortunate beginnings and some horrific stories have been told about how these dogs found their way to the shelter.

The Grand Hotel Excelsior will continue to support this cause, and feature one dog in the staff newsletter every month, in the hope of finding it a home.

For further information or to help one may contact the AAA on 9946 4182.

What a welcome change this article makes from the usual stories of abandoned dogs looking for homes or ill-treated animals. Please do keep up the generosity and good work.

Well done to all those who took part in this activity - certainly it is laudable to see people helping animals in need.
