Click here to help Alfie

ALFIE

We fully appreciate that there are many, many people and animals world wide in desperate need of financial

and medical help and we wish that we could help them all but sadly that is an impossible task. Sarah and I are supporting Alfie as his owners were unable to pay for the treatment and as a result Alfie has been 'adopted' by countless dog owners around the UK who are all joining forces to help this gorgeous pup. He lives with his fosterer and you can read his story at the link above. We feel that he deserves a chance and are donating money and items for the raffle. Please join Alfie's ever growing 'family' and support him in any way you can. Tony Head

VOICE YOUR CONCERN OVER ANIMAL CRUELTY - MESSAGE FROM TONY

Guillermo Habacuc Vargas: We received a letter drafted by someone who obviously felt passionately about this subject. I feel strongly enough to ask Liz to include the Ministerio de Cultura de Costa Rica contact details below on the site - please look into these allegations and perhaps write something yourself. At least Google the artist and check his "artwork" out - there's a YouTube piece that includes the "exhibit" itself and it's heartbreaking. For myself, I find deliberate cruelty to animals abhorrent. All the Best, Tony Head
