We are trying once again to find a home for Balou. He has now been at the SPA since March 2015, and I don’t think a single person has looked at him with a view to an adoption in all this time. We just cannot see why! When Balou arrived it was as a stray….

Urgent Appeal: Jack
This week’s urgent appeal is for Jack Jack is a little dog who is just being overlooked at the SPA. Is it because of his age? He has just turned nine years old. Is it because of his colour? Yes, Jack is black. It cannnot be due to his personality, as Jack is a great…
Urgent Appeal: Mina
Well, from one golden girl to another. The last urgent appeal was for golden oldie, Amy, who is now reserved and will be leaving us soon, and our new urgent appeal, although not an oldie, is pure gold! Mina, a “not quite boxer” was found in the hills outside a local village and as she…
Urgent Appeal: Amy
This time our urgent appeal is for a dog who as just arrived. Amy arrived this week due to the death of her owner. In fact this poor dog was not discovered for some three days since her owner passed away. As she is nine years old, it must be quite a shock for…

Urgent Appeal:Billy
Billy is a border collie who was born in January 2011, making him just over 6 years old at the time of this urgent appeal. He was abandoned at the SPA as his owners were moving house and did not want to keep Billy in a less spacious environment than before. Ironic that…
Urgent Appeal:Dart
Dart is a beautiful dalmatian, who like so many of the SPA dogs has arrived due to a change in his owner’s circumstances. Life for his homeless owner improved when he was able to move into a flat, however the hours of being locked up alone did not suit Dart, who was used…
Urgent Appeal:Mami
In this appeal we are looking for a very special family, one that is prepared to take on a dog who has ongoing medical issues. Mami arrived at the SPA at the end of October and she was in a terrible state. Bald and painfully thin, she just wanted to curl up and…
