We had a wonderful adoption today! After almost five years, Taser has finally left for a new home. Yes, that is a long long wait! Adopted briefly in 2014, he was brought back when his new family divorced. Since then he has been at the refuge patiently waiting. But he never gave up. And neither…

Adoption of Puppy Pippin
Today saw the adoption of little Pippin, a puppy who arrived a just over two months ago together with his brother Merry (yes, the ScPA was on a bit of a Lord of the Rings kick at the time, and the latest puppy arrival, Gimli, is further proof). The pups had ringworm, which is a…
New Year – New Media Launch
Exciting news today, DRC has launched itself into the world of Instagram and Twitter. This is something we have been meaning to do for a long time, but that is exactly the problem…TIME! There is always so much to do! But now we have a new elf who has joined the social media team and…
Adoption of Regis
Today we said a happy farewell to black labrador Regis. He arrived in mid November last year and has been a real gent during his short stay at the refuge. Having a greying muzzle, this lad could have been passed over by the casual visitor looking for a young dog. In fact he only three…
Samuel and Sutech are reunited with their owner.
We did not have any adoptions today, but it was a great day for two dogs nonetheless. Many of you will know Samuel and Sutech, two shepherd crosses who have been with us since March last year. Lots of volunteers have walked them and have found them to be easy on the lead and very…
Two adoptions already!
Today brings you the first blog of the year, but not the first adoption! That took place earlier this week, but with lots of staff on holiday, getting information is not always straightforward. No matter, though, today is a good chance to catch up. So who was the first leaver of 2019? It was none…
Farewell to another year
Well Clifford wasn’t the last dog to leave before the end of the year, as today we had two final adoptions. Tiny little Avery was reserved on Saturday, but had to wait to leave until today, when her pound time was due to finish. Exciting times for her family, who are adopting their first dog….
Five dog Saturday!
There are still a couple of days before the year ends, but today we had five adoptions, so even if we have no more before the start of 2019, the year is finishing on a positive note. First to leave was puppy Joba. She arrived a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately fell very…
Adoptions of Betty and Vanille
Well, as we said, 2018 is not over yet, and to prove it, today we had two adoptions! First to leave was puppy Betty. She, like her “sister” Tess, who was adopted last week, has been in foster with employee Vincent, so has not spent any time at all at the refuge. Apart from today,…
And the last leaver before Christmas is….
Most of you probably know that December 24th is a big night in France. Most people meet with family for the evening and often this goes well into the early hours. So perhaps today is not the ideal day to adopt a dog. In fact many refuges do not allow adoptions to take place in…
