February 2026

Dear Readers,

A somewhat shorter month, but the events, experiences and rescue operations were no less.
The Animal Police family has grown again. We have given little and big souls who were looking for a new home, a gentle hand, attention and security a second chance to feel at home again among all the animal lovers who have warmly welcomed them here at Finca Noah 2.0.
I would like to apologize for the delay in the newsletter. So many new little animals also means more time commitment—time we are happy to give. We hope you understand.

Dear Jonas and his wife have big and loving hearts for animals. Unfortunately, the two of them have to leave their rented finca and move into an apartment. On the property, a small peafowl family felt very much at home for a while. Of the initially three young birds, two moved on, and one lady stayed. And Jonas has long been searching for a new home for her, because moving with them into the apartment is not an option. Jonas cared lovingly for the peahen and devoted much time to her. After days of research, Jonas came across Animal Police on the internet.
We said yes without hesitation that the peahen could come to us, but asked for time, because as you all know we only recently moved to the new finca, and there was no secure enclosure at that time so that the peahen could adjust to the new environment. We make many things possible; we even build an enclosure if needed so that an animal can enjoy its new and safe home. Of course, Bonni should not be alone. As luck would have it, an animal welfare friend contacted us and asked if we could take in a peacock because the owner has dementia and can no longer ensure proper care. Once the peacock has found trust and allows himself to be caught, he will also be welcomed into the Animal Police family, and both peafowl will no longer have to walk through life alone. They will love living their lives on the new finca with all their animal buddies.

Four fluffy long-eared friends needed a new home.

Four hand-tame rabbits are now enclosure neighbors of our peahen Bonni. The two females and two males had a family, but they gave them away together with a hutch. We often ask ourselves why such people keep animals. There really are life circumstances in which caring for an animal can become a challenge. For us, an animal is a family member. We therefore have little understanding when someone gives up an animal just because it no longer fits into their daily life or, as in this family's case, because there is supposedly no longer space. We decided to provide the four rabbits in our new large aviary—which after long planning, weeks of construction time, and loving design is finally complete—with a life full of space and many beautiful things to climb, play and explore. A veterinary appointment for a general examination, vaccination and neutering of the males followed a few days later. Not every veterinarian here on Mallorca treats these little furballs. We drive across the island with a travel time of just over an hour.
On that day we were shocked and disappointed to be lied to again by people. One of the females was pregnant. Seven little babies saw the light of day. Three lost their battle for survival shortly after birth during the night. One died on the way to the vet. In the car I tried to warm them, but these little babies also had no chance of survival. This suffering could have been spared the seven little souls. So that mama would not have pain from milk production and engorgement, we were advised to offer her parsley to eat.
We don't know if the family noticed that the rabbit was pregnant and gave her away for that reason. But what we do know is that the animals suffered again because we humans did not care for their well-being.
Dear people, have your animals neutered!!!

Loyal souls seeking a home

Animal Police, Farah, rescues so many dogs that have come to Finca Noah for various reasons. Among them are puppies, strays, old but loyal souls, dogs that are paralyzed from an accident and require 24-hour care, dogs with chronic illnesses that were simply discarded like trash because they mean more responsibility. Little souls that were abused for breeding and dogs that, for reasons we cannot explain, vegetate away in animal shelters in small, cold, loveless cages. Dogs in shelters usually eventually give up on themselves, as they cannot understand why they are locked up and locked away day after day.

At Finca Noah there are exactly three female dogs who gave up on themselves in those small cages. Each of them deserves to find their own family or their best friend for life. Each of the three female dogs is special in her own way.
Avalon, the little Pastor Mallorquín mix female, we rescued from the kill station together with her brother. Avalon is a pitch-black, very loving and loyal soul toward people. For 1,200 days, Avalon has been waiting for her family to visit us at the farm and recognize her loyal dog gaze as a wish for a basket by the sofa. Her drawback: she cannot accept cats and chickens as friends. Unfortunately, this is something that can no longer be trained out of her. Anyone who wants to give her a home must definitely not have a cat in the household. Children, however, are very welcome to her. Avalon is a loyal soul who is delighted by any attention, any playmate—whether young or old—and long walks.

Chayenne, the German Shepherd female, is a loyal companion in all life situations. When she is with her person, with her friend, she is the happiest dog lady in the world. She also cannot live under the same roof as cats. For her, only one person matters!!! She gets excited when she notices we are getting visitors. Maybe because she's hoping my mommy might come.
The fact that she reacts somewhat hesitantly when you run your hand through her long fur shows us that she did not have a nice past. Nevertheless, she shows us her joy when she plays in the water.

Mischon, the black Pastor Mallorquín female, is a little challenge. She loves movement, she loves playing with a ball, she loves romping in the water, she loves lying around in the sun. We don't know what experience marked Mischon so, because Mischon doesn't like it when something fast comes toward her. When out for walks, she reacts to cars, cyclists, joggers. With much patience, dog experience, dog training—dog school—one can understand this extreme reaction on her part and work together with her so that the walk is not just stress and tension for both dog and person. I can only speak for myself: I have fallen a little bit in love with Mischon, and I believe she has too with me. Every day I walk with her, I know her quirks, I know how she reacts and I am prepared for it. She is really a wonderful female dog but not quite easy. She also doesn't like cats and you have to accept that; I suspect even with dog training you won't get that to change. Mischon is therefore looking for a home where she can enjoy the full attention of the person and family.

We hope for the three of them a loving, understanding home. And who knows, perhaps one of the newsletter readers lives alone and needs an animal friend. Please contact us if you are interested.

As every month, I thank you for reading my words.
Thank you,
Nadine de Tomi
