A local golf club fundraiser in Murcia has helped to change the life of a 12-year-old rescue dog, after raising enough money to cover her vital surgery. Greta is a long-time shelter resident at the PAPS animal shelter in San Javier, Murcia, and is deeply beloved by the workers at the shelter.
A gentle dog, beloved by the friends at the shelter
Greta, a gentle and affectionate dog, has been at the PAPS (Protectora de Animales Perros del Sol) animal shelter since 2018, and needed a vital surgery. “Unfortunately, she needed extensive surgery on her elbow. This involved many trips to the vets and weeks of staying with one of our volunteers. Greta made herself very comfortable on their sofa!” stated the animal shelter in a post about the donation.
After local golf society, the El Valle Golf Club, hosted a fundraiser, an astounding €500 was collected and donated to PAPS. The cheque was presented to the animal shelter by former club treasurer Sandy Clare.
“Huge thank you to Sandy Clare for his donation of €500,” stated PAPS.
Greta has made a full recovery following her surgery
The animal shelter stated that the funds went directly towards Greta’s surgery and offers her a better quality of life in her later years. The shelter even offered an update through a Facebook post thanking the golf society for its generous donation.
“I’m pleased to report that Greta has made a full recovery and is now back at PAPS,” the shelter stated.
