For the past couple of weeks it has been Wednesday or even later before we have had our first adoption, but today is only Tuesday and the first of what we hope will be many adoptions has just taken place.
Nawak was brought in for rehoming jut over two weeks ago. As is often the case, the family cited a number of issues, but as far as we have seen, Nawak is just about perfect. Sometimes it is just not a good match between dog and family and the best thing is for the dog to find a new home.
Alice has been a volunteer dog walker for a several years now and knows most of the dogs well. Having had dogs in the past, she knows that adopting a dog is not a decision to be taken lightly, and has taken five years to decide to do so. Alice likes big dogs and although she already knew many of them, there were a couple of new arrivals whom she hadn’t met. So last weekend she came along to meet and walk them. It didn’t take long for her to offer a home to Nawak; he was everything she was looking for.
Today was collection day and lucky Nawak is off to his new home. Or perhaps I should say “homes”. This lad will spend a couple of days a week in a flat in Carcassonne, and the rest of the time in his country retreat, where he will have acres of space to play in. We will have regular news and photos and wish Alice and her family (of four children) much joy and happiness with their new friend.
Another dog who arrived today was reclaimed, and we hope that there will be more good news to come.
