THEUNION: A Nevada City High School senior, who had never been on a sailboat or to the Caribbean, found a cause with paws.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Giorgia Glassford, 18, journeyed to Antigua, just north of the island of Guadeloupe, in November 2020 with her family. Time was spent island hopping to Barbuda and several ports between the neighboring harbors, getting to know the local culture with the help of an American ex-patriot, Gary Aksamit. He helped with their purchase of a 48-foot Amel Maramu sailboat they named the Flaneur (stroller), rigged with an inboard motor.<\/p>\n

When they put into port, Glassford and her family made friends with some islanders, particularly with a local couple, Wendy Miller and Yon Mintowt-Czwz, who have two daughters of their own. They invited Glassford and her family to share Christmas Eve together.<\/p>

Glassford couldn\u2019t help but notice the numerous feral dogs abandoned by owners or even those at homes. People tied up their dogs outside their homes and left them food and water. However, it often wasn\u2019t enough to sustain them and many dogs looked neglected, Glassford said.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIf a dog was too young or old or no longer useful as a guard dog, people would leave them on a beach well known as a depot for unwanted animals,\u201d said Glassford. \u201cYou could see their ribs exposed and they were covered with a kind of mange. And they didn\u2019t really look like dogs to me, but kind of skeleton-like. It was kind of surprising to see that level of neglect because you don\u2019t see it in Nevada County. But we learned it\u2019s a kind of normal situation in third world countries.\u201d<\/p>

The harrowing picture of the animals\u2019 neglect wouldn\u2019t leave their minds. After discussing the issue among her family, one of their new island friends tipped them off to the nonprofit, Dogs and Cats of Antigua (DACOA). Glassford\u2019s family agreed it was a terrible situation and decided to adopt a dog through the nonprofit. Once completing an online application, their approval came through and Glassford was teamed up with an 8-week old American Staffordshire terrier mix named Tiga.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s an amazing, affectionate, smart and athletic dog,\u201d said Glassford. \u201cBut when I noticed the stay dogs and heard how they were mistreated, I reached out to DACOA to see how I could help. We signed up to be travel buddies to fly five pups home to San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

PUPPY PROJECT<\/h4>\n

Taking Tiga to the airport, she became a little jittery. But the real disappointment was when the airport ticketing agent would not permit her to fly back with five dogs and only allowed two of the dogs to to fly in carriers stashed underneath their seats.<\/p>\n

It was the denial from the ticketing agent that inspired Glassford to start her website, Antigua Puppy Project.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It is soliciting funds to help get abused and abandoned dogs to the U.S. from the Caribbean. The website has a\u00a0GoFundMe<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After launching the site in summer, she raised around $4,000. That was enough for 25 dogs to fly last month, along with the vaccinations and the paperwork required, said Jeannine Glista, Glassford\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt went really well,\u201d Glista said. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to do another puppy airlift. They\u2019ll get them out as they can. She wants to get them all out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glista in an email said Glassford is committed to raising a total of $9,000, the goal of the\u00a0GoFundMe<\/a>. That would allow for another, mid-February airlift of 25 dogs.<\/p>\n

The dogs airlifted last month went to Miami, then by van to Dog Haven, an animal shelter in Moravia, New York, where a number of families have already adopted some of the dogs, said Glassford.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people may ask why go through all the trouble to get the dogs into the U.S. to put them in a shelter,\u201d said Glassford. \u201cBut these dogs in Antigua were abandoned in the street, no food or water. And the smaller dogs get hit by cars. They\u2019re just puppies and they don\u2019t know how to survive. But when we bring them back they get connected with loving families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glassford\u2019s dog Tiga is now sharing her new home with Bruno, Glassford\u2019s 8-year old Boxer. The two act like brother and sister. Tiga loves going for walks and stealing Bruno\u2019s bones, Glassford said.<\/p>\n

Glista has supported the puppy project from the start. She said once the animals are rescued, the change in them is amazing. They are more vibrant, better socialized and more adoptable. However, Glista said she wanted to clarify that Glassford is not creating her own nonprofit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would refer to her project, the Antigua Puppy Project, as an initiative,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s because she\u2019s doing more than just raising money \u2026 she\u2019s trying to find homes for the pups. And she is coordinating logistics with the nonprofit, Dogs and Cats of Antigua.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glista said she is proud of Glassford\u2019s puppy project, as she is so passionate about the dogs and was sincerely affected by what she saw in Antigua.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she\u2019ll turn it into a social enterprise, making dog beds or other dog supplies and sell online,\u201d she said. \u201cPart of what spurred her, we developed a bond and a new connection with the people we met while on sabbatical there. If it had just been a vacation, it may have not developed into such a strong alliance with the people of Antigua.\u201d<\/p>\n
