ROBINE'S EXPERIENCES

As a founding member of Animal Police Association, it was high time for me to spend a few days experiencing the daily work of Animal Police, and so I spent a wonderful time on the island of Mallorca.

I arrived in Mallorca full of enthusiasm and anticipation, and was welcomed right away by so many animals, which filled my heart with endless joy. The days were packed from early morning until late at night with animal welfare activities, always working to help the animals in need. My emotions went through so many different states during those days. I was shocked, I laughed, I felt sad, deeply moved, touched—but most of all, the animals gave me incredible joy and love!

I have always been fascinated by how these poor, sometimes tortured souls have not lost their trust in people. Now I got to experience it myself, and I was so moved and amazed by how animals can sense when someone wants to help them!

The absolute highlight of this time was rescuing a dog. The poor fellow had been chained up for a very long time, without food, without water, without proper shade or a comfortable spot of any kind. Trapped in his loneliness between a main road and chicken droppings. Thanks to a call for help from a tourist, we became aware of him and had to act immediately. The rescue operation was a complete success, and I experienced gratitude in a way I never had before. My heart glowed, and the little guy won it in no time! But he didn't just win my heart—he won the hearts of many others too. Today, the dog "Robin" gets to spend his life in a beautiful home, cuddled and loved the way he deserves!

Another highlight for me personally was coming home. No matter when, what time, or what state I was in, there are always little animals waiting for you who are endlessly happy to see you. I was reminded again of how much our little friends give us and how valuable the mutual affection is—for the animals but also for us humans!

It was a beautiful experience, and I am now even more proud to be part of the Animal Police team. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the incredible work that our team does!

Heartfelt thanks to Farah for the unforgettable time!

MONA AND COCO ARE LOOKING FOR A HOME

The two super sweet cats "Mona" (f) and "Coco" (m) are looking for a new place to live. Through this newsletter, we would like to help the two find a beautiful place where they will be loved and can share their cuddles.
They are 4 months old, tested for all Mediterranean diseases, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and in excellent condition. The two siblings love to cuddle and be pampered. Since they are already so attached to each other, we are looking for adoptive parents who would take both of them together. Please help us give the two cat siblings a wonderful life immediately and find them a home. We, and especially Mona and Coco, are grateful for any help!

**We urgently need to find new homes for over 60 cats and 90 dogs! Please help us, dear animal lovers, to place these poor souls. We are deeply grateful for any support!

NANA

The dog Nana is also urgently looking for a new place to live. She has had such a terrible life behind her that she now longs only for love. That's why she loves people and especially children! Unfortunately, she doesn't get along well with other dogs or cats at all. Nana is in great condition—everything has been checked health-wise and at 7 years old, she's doing wonderfully, loves to play and romp around!
Nana will be thrilled to have a beautiful home with lots of love and affection!

MOM WITH 11 PUPPIES

Our dear Gaby has once again proven her huge heart for animals. A few weeks ago, she took in a mother dog who has since given birth to 11 puppies. She has cared for all the dogs, nursed them, and kept them healthy. The 11 little ones are now about 9-10 weeks old, cheerful, lively, and healthy, and urgently need a beautiful place to live, just like the 2-year-old mother. Gaby gave her all from the bottom of her heart and accomplished something incredible! Now she would very much like to not only be a dog grandma, but to devote herself again to her everyday life and her horses. Animal Police wants to support the kind-hearted Gaby here and find these happy dogs a wonderful home!

PREPARING FOR WINTER

Animal Police would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all donations of blankets, pillows, baskets, and everything that will keep our animals warm during the cold winter months! With your donations, we will certainly be able to bring much help and warmth during the cold months on the island of Mallorca. In this context, we would like to ask all animal lovers once more for support in helping us collect items so we are ready when the cold arrives.

HELPERS WANTED

Our Farah devotes herself fully to the animals of the island in addition to her full-time job. Starting in November, she will be moving into a small house with enough space to take in emergency cases. For this purpose, Animal Police has much planned to create a beautiful place for the animals. We are very grateful for any kind of support, whether in financial form, strong hands, or simply as motivation!

A BETTER LIFE FOR MANY ANIMALS

Animal Police was able to rescue many animals in September and subsequently place them in beautiful homes. We are super happy about that and grateful for how the Animal Police team works together and comes through whenever an animal cries out for help. This month, the Association was able to help numerous dogs, cats, chickens, and even two donkeys and ponies out of their miserable living conditions and give them a better life.

We look forward to an exciting October, which is already upon us.
