Well the B.O.R.D.E.R litter became the O.R.D.E.R litter today with the adoption of the first pup, Betty. As she was too young to be sterilised, her new owners have left a cheque to ensure that this will be done when she reaches the age of six months. Being an unwanted pup herself, I am sure Betty would approve.
Second to leave was little Ghost. This little boy is only just out of puppyhood himself, and as you can probably guess, he arrived at the SPA at Hallowe’en. He was unidentified, however thanks to Facebook, this little yorkie cross’s owner saw that his dog was at the SPA. After initial assurances that he would come and collect him, everything went quiet. The legal limit the SPA has to keep dogs prior to allowing them to be adopted is 10 days, so they have been more than patient in this instance. Ghost left today for his new home, castrated and microchipped. Great news for him.
So that is two steps forward, but here is the (almost inevitable) one step backwards. Tomorrow we await the arrival of a lovely hunt type dog who was found in La Redorte this morning. A trip to the mairie and the vet brought no joy; the dog is not identified, nor is her owner looking for her as far as could be seen. So it will fall to the SPA to either find either her owner or a new home. However far better that than to be lost and alone as the cold weather takes hold.
I am sure a better life awaits this girl, just as it did both Betty and Ghost.
Ghost – ADOPTED
This girl will arrive tomorrow
