Sorry folks need to rant so sorry in advance

I help in animal rescue, mainly finding them new homes, helping transport, home checks and raising funds. Last year we raised €600 for a shelter in Greece to bring a dog over who was being bulled by other dogs. I found her a fantastic home in Devon and she's happy in a dog free home. I get an update and photos every few months and can pop over anytime to see her. I then pass all the info onto the shelter. Last week they contacted me asking about her demanding photos, I said she's fine as I sent pics in January. They now want pics now or will be turning up at the new owners home and will take the dog.

The owner is a solicitor so really they dont have a leg to stand on and the contract was between me and the owners not the rescue who couldn't give a flying f**k at the time where she was going.

I've alterted the owners asking for recent pics or a video of her just to shut them up but I'm so pissed off with the shelter for doing this.

Can they just come and get the dog?

I said the owners will take legal action I feel so rotten for them

Sorry for the rant and I need advise

They've had the dog since last February so 14 months with no problems and she's happy and healthy etc

She came to me with ear mites and needed urgent vet care when she came to the uk which I paid for out of my own pocket

Did the Greeks definitely receive the last set of photos....? If not, they may be worried....

Would it be hard ti get some new ones and send them over, its been three months since the last lot....

Is it genuinely the Greek shelter, or some eejit who's found some discarded records and is playing silly buggers....

If you can't get fresh pictures, contact someone at the rescue place in Greece, who you know of, and have a quiet chat... Something is not right with this story, they surely wouldn't do this if there wasn't a misunderstanding somewhere down the line...

They probably aren't open weekends, so relax and sort it out on Monday....

Yes the pictures got there as they were put on the rescue page.

I know there recent it they lost 2 dog that went to America so I know they are upset and I'm doing a home check next week to get new pictures and a video of her to send to them, it was just the threats I did not like. I know there's a language barrier but still upsetting

Second language communication is a bitch... If I had a pound for every time I'd nearly started WW3 with a comma in the wrong place, I'd have retired years ago....

I once called a woman a c*nt, instead of a mouse... Same word, in Italian, ends in an O not the A I used....
