How BONES Started

• In November 2000,  in an animal shelter just outside Athens, were two English Setters. Beam, a 6 year old Orange Belton, and PJ a 3 or 4 year old Tri-colour. Both came into the shelter in a dreadful condition. Beam was found wandering, being kicked from one shop doorway to another. So ill he could not even stand and refused the food some nearby lady tried to give him. This lady tried to protect him from disgruntled shop owners for two days as she rang around trying to get help for him. PJ was tied to the shelter gatepost. He had been beaten and  was also in an appalling condition. PJ had been living at the shelter for two years.

 

• The appeal was launched to get these two boys back here to the UK for re-homing and give them what they so deserve - a loving home.  

 

• Due to the great generosity of English Setter lovers in the UK and across the globe the money was raised to fly the boys to the UK under the Pet's Passport Scheme and a donation was made towards the costs of the shelter and for their endless struggle with stray and abused animals in Greece.

 

• By September 2001 Beam & PJ were settling into their new homes in the UK.  The appeal had raised sufficient money to achieve this and more.  It was decided to turn BONES into a charity so that more English Setters in need abroad could be helped.
