What a horrid day it has been weather wise. I can’t help but think of how miserable the dogs must be on days like this, huddling together trying to keep warm. I look at my four all asleep by the fire, and it makes me so sorry for all the dogs who at the SPA….

Two lovely adult dogs are adopted!
Well, as you may have noticed, we have had a bit of a run on puppies recently. Today it was the turn of a couple of our adult dogs to leave the refuge. First was fabulous Igloo. A family came to see him on Thursday and planned to return today to check that this magnificent…
Three pups leave and more birthdays are celebrated!
Well, I am delighted to say that Peter Pan was adopted today. I felt really sorry for him yesterday when Wendy left and he was moved to live in the cat house to give him some company. Excellent news for this handsome boy And that is not all! Puppy Catherine left, she of the Vampire…
Adoptions and news of old (and not so old) friends.
Today two puppies left the refuge, adorable Wendy from the Neverland litter, and the first of the Vampire Diaries pups, Demon. Fabulous news for both of them, but I wonder why no one wants Peter Pan, who is just stunning. Just as well that we don’t all have the same taste in dogs, though! A…
C them go!
Last night just as I left the refuge for the evening, an elderly labrador was brought in. I quickly took some photos, sad that another old dog had arrived. The photos went onto our Facebook page and the dog’s owner posted immediately to say that she would be in to collect him today. How I…
Joey Star leaves and Moira and I have a laugh!
Thanks to Carole the photos of Joey Star had already been published on Facebook before my blog had even been written. By the time the blog was on Facebook, Joey’s owner had already seen the photos and had contacted us! Joey’s real name is Tyrex and today he left the SPA with a brand new…
A (Joey) Star arrives!
Another week has started and with a bit of luck some of the people who visited us yesterday for the Open Day will return to adopt. We did have lots of visitors, and several people are going to think about their choice before committing. I for one salute you. Far better that than to pick…
Inspiration was lacking until….
Well, today it rained pretty much non-stop, so sadly there was no dog walking. Not that the volunteers would have minded getting wet, but of course we wear coats and can get warm quickly afterwards, unlike the dogs who go back into their cold kennels. I was wondering what I would write about tonight. Okay,…
Two dogs leave!
Today the beautiful husky called Anvik (whose real name was in fact Heaven) was reclaimed. Much argy-bargy on Facebook with the dog’s owner accusing us of having deliberately taken her dog, blah blah blah. Actually it was the Police Municipal who brought the dog to us, we do not actively go out to catch dogs…
Bye-Bye Bench!
Well, something incredible happened today. We have known about it since Monday and the excitement has been palpable, but patience is a virtue. Today our lovely boy Bench found his home. Not a new home, he found his REAL home. The story is complicated but basically involves a divorce and a husband supposedly rehoming the…
