There's a heartwarming story coming out of El Valle Golf Club this week after former club treasurer Sandy Clare raised an outstanding €500 for local animal charity PAPS, which cares for rescue dogs in the Region of Murcia.

 

The donation was collected by Sandra King at El Valle, who was keen to express just how much it means to the charity.

 

"Huge thank you to Sandy Clare for his donation of €500," she said. "This money will pay for one of our dogs' latest surgeries."

 

That dog is Greta, a 12-year-old who has been a resident at PAPS since 2018 and recently had to undergo extensive elbow surgery involving multiple veterinary visits and several weeks of recovery. She spent that recovery time with one of PAPS' dedicated volunteers and, by all accounts, made herself very comfortable on the sofa!

 

The good news is that Greta has made a full recovery and is back at PAPS, where everyone is hoping she'll find her forever home before too long. Named after the legendary Swedish-American actress Greta Garbo, she's been waiting patiently for the right family since 2018, and after everything she's been through recently, she deserves nothing less than the perfect ending to her story.

 

Sandy's fundraising efforts reflect exactly the kind of community spirit that sits at the heart of El Valle Golf Club, and PAPS is grateful for every bit of support it receives. The charity relies entirely on donations and volunteers to keep going, and contributions like this one make a direct and immediate difference to the animals in their care.
