An extract from my next book

"RESCUING ANGELS"

At some point in time during this brief experience we call life, many will need to be rescued. That may mean being rescued from ourselves, from each other, from pain, from captivity, or from inhumane cruelty.

Whatever the moment, the experience or event, there will inevitably be the need of an intervention to bring an end to the suffering, there will be a need for RESCUE.

That intervention may be Nature working it's miraculous magic, it may be Angelic intervention, it may simply be the recognition and empathic understanding of one entity for the suffering, pain, distress and needs of another. Regardless of species disparities, regardless of the danger, regardless of the demand on time and personal commitments, regardless of the cost, this empathy drives one sentient being to commit to rescuing another.

Nature's Miracles and Angelic intervention occurrences are  unpredictable, unfathomable and amazing. However the empathic understanding of one sentient being for the needs and suffering of another sentient being is equally unpredictable, unfathomable, amazing and immensely powerful. This power is greater than all obstacles which lie before the rescuer, because it emanates from the most powerful energy, LOVE.

 WOLFSPEAK

RAFFLES AND FUNDRAISING

Our work throughout the years has brought us a great deal of joy, sadness and at times, frustration and anger. The plight and pain of many dogs throughout the world suffering through neglect and cruelty is heartbreaking and yet it is in this world where we find some of the most caring, driven and dedicated people, intervening and advocating on behalf of those dogs needing help, in very hostile conditions and environments both here in the UK and abroad.  

We have over the years been priveleged to get to know and work alongside several Rescues and Charities, this has involved assisting in Remedial Training and Rehabilitation of Dogs and also Fundraising on behalf of numerous Charities and groups who work both in the UK and Abroad.

Thank you letter from Sandra Jensen (AWABosnia) in response to Wolfspeak Fundraising.

My dear Paul and Sylvia, 

The funds have arrived safely and I’m just waiting for them to get to my Paypal account which will take a couple of days. Bojan (and Heike and Lesley who help out) wanted me to share his words of thanks with you…

_______

"..Dear Paul and Sylvia....I am so very humbled to hear just exactly what your wonderful supporters of Wolfspeak have raised for the Bark Ark with your fundraising activities and your own personal donation… I am overwhelmed truly. Not only does a substantial sum like this donation go towards covering something useful and greatly needed in caring for so many dogs but also gives a tremendous moral boost to myself particularly and also that of the Bark Ark team.

To think that someone so far away has the dogs in their thoughts and in their hearts………is just amazing to me. Thank you for your friendship Paul and Sylvia and massive hugs from the dogs….Bojan."

Sylvia and I made a commitment earlier this year to raise funds in order to help 

Bojan Veselica of the Bark Ark, Prnjavor, Bosnia, with the enormous task of rescuing and caring for over 700 dogs from the streets of Bosnia. We asked for your help and support in this venture and yet again you "Wolfspeakers" and your friends and families have been amazing! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the funds have been forwarded to Bojan through the wonderful Sandra Jensen, a tireless campaigner from Animal Welfare Advocates Bosnia.

This would not have been possible without your help and it is a tribute to your compassion and understanding of the terrible plight of so many dogs around the world, when you support us in trying to make a difference and bring some relief in a small way to the huge problem of cruelty that exists in so many countries around the world. 

It is a small pebble thrown into a huge ocean, but it will create a ripple of love which will become a wave of hope to those working at the sharp end in the distressing world of rescue. 

Thank you once again WOLFSPEAKERS, we are so grateful for your support.

Meet "Mateo" (was Enzo) he is Our Angel Raza's Brother, he is one of the "Famous Ten" that the amazing Aida Pasalic rescued two years ago and he has been in Pension in Bosnia for the last two years. He is very sensitive, anxious, fearful and has had very little human interaction over the past two years, this together with his early trauma of being captured by dog catchers and witnessing his Mother's cruel death have given him no reason to trust Human beings. His world has been a limited accomodation within a Pension with limited resources, time and help, however Mateo's world is about to change within the next few weeks, he is travelling from Bosnia to the U.K. to come and join his Brother and the Angel Pack here in Fife. Where Sylvia and I will undertake to provide a forever home where Mateo can learn to trust again and become the Happy, Confident dog he deserves to be. We cannot wait !!!

THANK YOU LETTER FROM AIDA PASALIC, BOSNIA

Dear Paul and Sylvie, 

There are no words to describe how much I am grateful for such a generous donation you sent for my sweet angel Tiny. 

To write THANK YOU is to small but THANK YOU! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did and you do! 

I wish to thank to your friends ( YOU "THE WOLFSPEAKERS") who supported little brave Tiny too! 

I would never forget the night I went to the small town Podlugovi 23-28km (depends of route) from Sarajevo to try to find her.

I saw the post of her on fb, the photos of scared, abandoned injured dog and zillion comments underneath how she was laying alone and injured besides a road of Podlugovi for two days. Two days injured, two days without any help. I saw her face, I saw the pain she was in. Knowing that she was there all alone and injured, letting her spend there on the road one more night was no longer an option for me.

It was not hard to find this beautiful girl, not hard at all, if you are looking and you have the will to find the one you are looking for! 

She was quiet, trusting me and I took her for the night. The vet gave her painkiller.

In the morning I took her to the vet clinic where she was diagnosed with severe and multiply injuries, precisely- fracture of tibia of her left leg, bilateral luxation of her pelvis on both sides, broken tail and terrible and infected wound in and around her anus. Vet suspected that she was raped!

Multiple x-rays done and several consultations as how to proceed. Several operations were performed - her leg was operated using titanium plate and her pelvis was fixed by using pins on both sides. It was too risky to amputate her tail that time, after she recovers her tail will be amputated. 

During all this time this brave little girl made no sound, she was calm, gentle and patient.

I was bitter crying inside and thinking where did humanity disappear but you my dear Paul and Sylvie shows me there is still humanity in the world! You brought light into my life!

While I live I would never thank you enough for adopting and giving my fragile boy Angel Raza opportunity to live in paradise and for all your support for his siblings and now for your great support for another little angel Tiny!

You are angels on the earth!

God bless you now and ever

Love you truly 

Aida

Our Reply

“Oh Dear Aida, what a very sad but immensely brave little girl, we do hope and pray that she recovers well and is pain-free. Aida, your thank you letter brought us to tears, you are an amazing lady with a heart the size of the universe and a capacity for love and compassion second to none! Thank you for keeping us posted on her progress hopefully she will heal well and regain her functions so she can live a relatively normal life . If we can help further just let us know at anytime.

We can’t get this little girl out of our minds, she is so precious, do you think she will ever be able to control bowel function again? We look forward to more videos of her when you have the time. We love you and send love, healing and light to you and Tiny xxx”

“She is so fragile. I have the feeling if someone just looks at her badly she would be broken, I wish I could take her pain and fear.”

Dear Paul, 

How wonderful of you and your Wolfspeak supporters! That’s so generous, thank you so much, and I’m sure Aida is hugely grateful. And thank you for the “Understanding Our Dogs” piece, yes, it will be SO useful for adopters who are having a bit of trouble! 

So many of the rescuers seem to be struggling badly right now with funds, I don’t know what’s going on. It will take me a little to decide where best to send the funds, possibly some for food for the dogs at The Bark Ark - and maybe some for Dalida who is also setting up her own small shelter so she can in the future avoid the huge pension bills. But I’ll see if there is an ‘emergency’ happening.

Dear Paul and Sylvie, oh what to tell, I am speechless.

You made me cry. Again.

How to thank you enough? I am really in very desperate situation, I have huge debts and last week I rescued one little girl named Tiny who was lying two days in the street after car hit her or she is possibly been raped.

She had two surgeries on her hip and left back leg. Her tail should be amputated too. She started to control urinating but still she has no control over digestive tract and I still did not collect money for her surgeries and pension costs.

As you know Buddy and Dina pension costs are 200€ and for Enzo was 50€ but the pension owner decreased costs to 35€. Last night I saved from dogcatchers another male dog, my dear Osman who got 5 chemotherapies and was adopted and one little baby boy who was on traffic road (he still has no name).

I am thanking the Cosmos sent you into my life!

It was more than enough you adopted my fragile angel Raza! But you are helping the other angels too!

Thank you from bottom of my heart! God bless you both <3

I am sending you some photos of Tiny and Osman

And some new from Buddy and Dina and Enzo

Love you xx

Bojan Veselica (Bark Ark) Prnjavor Shelter Bosnia

 "The Bark Ark were truly blessed to have received an extraordinarily generous donation from Paul Connolly and Sylvia Connolly and their fantastic group Wolfspeak!!
 A massive thank you to all the "Wolfspeakers" who participated in their recent fundraiser dedicated to the dogs at the Bark Ark raising an amazing donation of 970 GBP! Thank you Paul and Sylvia, your support and care is much appreciated as there is still so much to be completed at the Bark Ark, amongst the many there is a desperate need for a Quarantine Section to be dedicated to the puppies and to the dogs recovering from spaying and neutering etc. So after much deliberation with Bojan Veselica, it was decided that the generous donation would be best used in buying enough extra extra large crates to be placed in a section of the Shelter where this Quarantine Section is to be created. It will be the beginnings of a proper area for sick and injured dogs and for incoming puppies. Bojan is so incredibly grateful for this, as are all the admins of the Saving Prnjavor Dog group, it's been a desperately needed thing ever since the beginning. The Prnjavor Shelter is truly humbled to have received this gift of help, support and friendship. Thank you SO very much, from the bottom of our hearts!
Everyone who supports AWABosnia please visit the Wolfspeak page and 'like' it to show your appreciation for this amazing help!"

Hi "Wolfspeakers" these are photographs of the Bark Ark Shelter at Prnjavor Bosnia. It is in the process of being constructed by Bojan Veselica who is tirelessly working to create a safe and clean environment for rescued dogs. Currently he is caring together with one permanent helper and the assistance of friends and family for over 300 dogs. Feeding, Veterinary care, cleaning and Rescueing incur much expense and then add the cost of materials and construction for the Shelter and you can understand why the funds from your latest fundraisng, £300.00 has been sent Via Awabosnia to aid in this amazing project and why we will continue to support those people who dedicate themselves to helping dogs in need.

----------------------------------------------------------

 January 2017

Sylvie and I became aware of Aida Pasalic one of the wonderful Advocates working so hard to help as many dogs as possible in Bosnia, when we heard the story of how she rescued our dear Angel Raza together with his siblings from the Sarajevo Public Shelter, Zunovnica, from our friend Sandra Jensen of AWA BOSNIA.

Dear Paul and Sylvie, 

This is disappointing news but I understand, it’s important that you need to find a dog that will fit into the pack. But what about one of Aida’s 7 frightened dogs that she saved from one of the horror shelters?

Carlos, Dina, Enzo, Buddy, Bono, Angel and Keanu? She saved 10 but these seven (all around 6 - 7 months old) are languishing in pensions, with no chance really to be rehabilitated until someone takes one home. Bono and Carlos are the ones most frightened of strangers.

I’ll attach a video that has Dina, Enzo, Buddy and Carlos in it (and Abby who is homed), and some photos as well. The only one I don’t seen to have photos of is Keanu

Here is the full story from Aida…

"Their story begins on the 2nd August 2016 when I met them the first time. I went to "death camp" or killing point or hell called public shelter in Sarajevo to try to find Bella, a dog I used to feed, who was taken by dogcatchers. While I was there (out of my mind seeing many dogs watching at me ) dogcatchers brought 10 babies about 1 to 2 months old in two cages and then they started to take them out of the cages with a string around their necks. Their mouths were full of blood, they were screaming, crying, peeing and pooping at the same time and I was screaming and crying with them too and fighting with dogcatchers who were laughing at me. 

They took babies from their mum or mums...

They took them on very cruel way! Little poor babies taken with string... 

There was also a mum with three babies and a mum with 4 babies and 4 adult dogs, one of them a pregnant female ... but there was no Bella.

I stood there thinking what to do, whom to rescue and I could not decide. Could not take one or two or 5 

I took them all.

I found sponsors for many of them and in meanwhile some of them are happily adopted.

But my 10, my favourite ten are so traumatized, so frightened of strangers.

They had to be moved three times from pension to pension bad conditions in the pensions. 

They were sick after first vaccine... 

I fought for them.

They are now healthy, vaccinated, spayed, around 7 months old, but still frightened by strangers...

Two girls are already lucky to go, one to foster, Carmen, and Abby went home. Both are in Slovenia.

They became relaxed in a very short time!

Abby and Carmen proved they only need love and time to become perfect pets.

Keanu is very frightened. 

Franca too. still hope she goes too. 

Angel is the most gentle and shy. He is scared with people but he likes to be cuddled.

Bono is very scared. He escaped when I wanted to move them to Zenica. We could not catch him! It was terrible...He lived around the pension for two months and than he was finally caught. So he had no chance to make contact with people. He is very beautiful. 

Carlos is shaking when strangers come to the pension, he is very relaxed with the pension owners (wife and husband) and their children. But very scared with others. Very beautiful boy. 

Dina is the smallest one. Very sweet girl. Very relaxed with the pension owners. With strangers she is vigilant but eating from the hand. 

Enzo is like his sister Dina, very relaxed with pension owners and with strangers vigilant but eating from the hand. 

Buddy. He is my favorite. why?

He was the first one I saw there. First one I touched there and told him that he will be happy one day. 

And I do hope they will be.

He is also vigilant with strangers but like Enzo and Dina he is eating from anyone's hand. 

But if you want to touch any of them they are first running away. 

Even Buddy who allowed me to touch him first time I met him after the dogcatchers destroyed their childhood.

But changing the pensions, getting vaccines,injections, going for sterilization also had very bad influence on their psyches. 

They are not aggressive, they would never attack anyone. They are very good with other dogs… we must save them all.” 

Once we had heard this amazing story Sylvie and I had no doubts about adopting "Angel" and named Him "Angel Raza"( Raza means HOPE ) and so began a lovely friendship and a continued effort to support Aida in her quest to care for and re-home his siblings.

Hi "Wonderful Wolfspeakers", just wanted to keep you updated with regards to our latest Fundraising efforts. You have excelled once again in supporting us and the final total is £1050.00, following the arrival of some late donations.

Today we have made transfers and sent cheques of £350.00 to each of our chosen Charities.
German Shepherd Rescue Scotland, Springer Rescue Scotland and Barking Mad Romanian Rescue Scotland.
We thank you all from the "Bottom of our Hearts". 

It is not only the very generous support you give that has such a remarkable effect on some very special dogs, but the positive energy and thoughts that create a ripple effect of loving intent. Which enables those involved at the sharp end of Rescue Organisations, to keep going and fighting for the rights of these wonderful Sentient Beings who bring so much into our lives.

Those involved in Rescue see daily the pain, suffering and sadness endured by so many Animals and it can feel like an endless battle, yet if we keep focussing on positive intentions we can make a difference and this is why once again in 2017 we will endeavour to support Rescues and stand against cruelty wherever it manifests.

Sylvie and I and our "Angel Pack", wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we hope you have a remarkable 2017. 

Thank you to all those who have sent cards and gifts they are very much appreciated.

Classes will resume on Sunday 22nd January and I look forward to seeing class members old and new then.

"OUR WISH FOR YOU ALL IN THE NEW YEAR IS TO BE HAPPY, BE SAFE AND DO WHATEVER WARMS YOUR HEART AND MAKES YOU CONTENTED."

Warmest wishes to you and your families and your lovely Dogs.

Paul and Sylvie.

This week we received £600 towards funds through the efforts of some people who train their dogs with Paul and Sylvia Connolly at Wolfspeak. (www.wolfspeak.co.uk.) Paul has a training venue in Fife where his classes run every weekend. The co-ordinated efforts of Paul, Sylvia and the Wolf Speakers made this happen through a raffle. sales and donations.

‪Paul gives his time to us in so many ways. He has visited many of our dogs to ease misunderstandings and help them settle. He has taken countless phone calls from me, when he is always both soothing and practical. And to cap it all, welcomed two of our dogs into his angel pack at home and is about to welcome a third. Thank you!

I could not have asked for more and I am so grateful to all those who made it possible and particular to those special people "the public" who gave their support and approval on the day by spending their hard earned cash to help those less fortunate.

 WOLFSPEAK ALTERNATIVE THERAPY DAY, FUNDRAISER FOR GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUE SCOTLAND

A great day where we had a Kinesiologist, Tellington Touch Practitiioner, Animal Communicator and myself a Reiki Practitioner. Offering an insight into some Alternative Therapies and we raised £800.00 for the charity.

“Paul Connolly of Wolfspeak has been a supporter of German Shepherd Rescue Scotland since our very early days when we started the Rescue.

He has helped in assessing the difficult dogs we have taken in and once they have been re-homed, invited the new owners to attend his training classes for an initial assessment course of ten weeks at no cost to the owner or the Rescue, no matter how difficult the German Shepherd's behaviour is in the beginning.

Many Shepherds come into our care untrained and have not been socialised. Paul helps turn these dogs around into confident, happy dogs.

Paul has held seminars on all aspects of owning a dog or rescuing a dog and held special training days for the Rescue and our Volunteers.

Paul and his wife Sylvia have helped promote the rescue and raise much needed funds by organising and hosting The Wolfspeak Charity Fundraisers Fun Days and Dog Shows. The rescue thanks you both for your valued friendship and support."
