We had two adoptions today, one which took place at the SPA and one that took place directly from a foster family.
As there is only one dog in foster right now (or rather in foster pending adoption, as opposed to in long term foster for health or age reasons), you have probably guessed who it was. Yes, puppy Shaylee who has been living with Isa and her family ( and their dogs) found her new home today. She is a gorgeous little girl, full of confidence and energy and she is surely going to delight her new family. She will have other spaniels to play with, one of 14 and one of 4 years, which is perfect for her, as she is very used to playing with other dogs and would have missed canine company otherwise.
On the other end of the spectrum in terms of confidence is little Ondine. But she too found a home today. Ondine is one of the dogs from Ste Eulalie, and although she was undoubtedly one of the prettiest, she is also one of the most timid. Some of these dogs have been adopted and are doing well. Others have been adopted and are doing less well (notably Pinder, who went missing a couple of days after his adoption, never to be found. And yet more are still at the SPA, still being socialised even after all this time. Some dogs have suffered so much before the SPA that they have a long road ahead of them.
Ondine’s new family have been well briefed as to her character by employee Angelique who, along with several volunteers, has spent a lot of time trying to help Ondine on her way to a better life. Fingers crossed that all goes well for her.
We have a couple of new arrivals to show you in due course, and we had a reservation too. More good news on the way….
Shaylee – ADOPTED (thanks to Isa and her family yet again)
Ondine – ADOPTED
