Nesquick is one of the ScPA dogs for whom the phrase “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride” was invented. We have lost count of the number of dogs he has shared his kennel with; each time they are adopted he shares with the next dog, never complaining, always welcoming. Our last urgent appeal, Trudy is…

Urgent Appeal: Trudy
Those of you who follow us on Facebook might have seen the albums of several dogs who were left behind in a garden when the owner moved house. Six of them have been brought to the ScPA so far, but more are due to arrive. They are in various states of trauma, starting with Mattie,…
Urgent Appeal: Look
This is not the first time Look has been our urgent appeal. Last time it was just because we liked him, but this time it is a bit more urgent. Look is one of those dogs who is just not being noticed at the SCPA, all he needs is a chance to show people what…
Urgent Appeal: Puppies
Oh, gosh. Where on earth do they all come from? Well, we all know the answer to that one, don’t we…Irresponsible people not sterilising their dogs and expecting the SPA to pick up the slack. More than 20 puppies arrived in the space of a couple of weeks, and as the SCPA already had pups…
Urgent Appeal: Bang
Our latest appeal is for Bang. He is a small to medium crossbreed who was brought to the ScPA having been found in a warehouse with occasional visits from the owners. Yes, many dogs have worse lives than this, but as far as we are concerned, they all deserve better! Bang was born in January…
Urgent Appeal: Bridou
Bridou arrived at the refuge when he was still a young puppy, and I fear that he will spend the rest of his puppyhood at the refuge, unless he is very lucky. Brought in by a family who claimed to have found him, this young lively lad probably just turned out to be bigger than…
Scalibor Appeal…
Once again its time for our our annual Scalibor appeal. A Scalibor collar protects against ticks borne diseases as well as the dreaded sand fly transmitted, leischmania. We would really love ever dog to have a collar but with so many dogs and such a turnover of dogs this is something that the SPA cannot…
Urgent Appeal: Cappucino
Our last couple of appeals have been for elderly dogs or dogs who have been at the SPA for a long time, so this time we thought we would change it up a bit. As we often remark on the blog, the SPA has many hidden gems; dogs who just get passed over because they…
Urgent Appeal: Gloubi is RESERVED!!!
How does a dog like Gloubi end up in a refuge? It seems strange to anyone who loves golden labradors that Gloubi should be at the SPA. She was found alone and with no microchip or tattoo, but as we can tell from her (ah-hem) girth, this dog clearly had an owner before arriving at…
Urgent Appeal: Roxy
Some of you may have read the joyous blog when we announced the adoption of Roxy after two years. He left with someone who had walked him at the SPA and spent a whole month planning to adopt him. Less than 24 hours later he contacted the SPA on Facebook to tell us that he…
