Another Monday arrives, and as was the case last week, we had our first adoption. As you know, on Saturday we said goodbye to spaniel puppy Chuppa. We really hoped that her sister, Chups would not have long to wait. And sure enough, today she too has a new home. Yippee. We really hate pups growing…

Three adoptions to end a slow week
Yes, you are right; it has been a very quiet week. The last blog was on Monday, when we were hoping for lots of adoptions. There has been movement at the ScPA, though, dogs being reclaimed and (sadly) several new arrivals. However we have had to wait until today for more adoptions. But as we…
Adoption of Louba, and four dogs are reclaimed.
Some dogs spend far longer at the ScPA than we expect. One such dog is Louba, who arrived at the end of January with (presumably) her son, Bouba. He was identified, Louba was not, but in any case no one came to collect either dog. So once the ten days pound time was over, it…
Running for a good cause!
Before the main news of the day, we have some news to catch up on from yesterday. One adoption took place yestereday morning before the refuge was open, hence it not making the blog last night. Many of you will be aware that there is a team of elves who come in when the refuge…
Adoption of Harley
We had a small adoption today, a 5 kilo one, to be precise! Yorkie cross Harley arrived in mid May having spent most of his life on a balcony, when he wasn’t being used to make puppies, that is. He was then given away, but his new owner did not want him, so at six…
Adoption of Gloubi and an important name change.
Today the ScPA said a fond and happy goodbye to Gloubi. No, don’t be worried, neither by that sentence nor by the photo; Gloubi is fine. It is just that she is most often seen in this position; relaxing in the office while life goes on around her. Gloubi was reserved several weeks ago, and…
Adoption of Border Collie Bob.
Adoptions are few and far between at the moment, as you have probably noticed. We have no idea why this is; May, with its numerous bank holidays, might may seem like a good time to welcome a new family member; or perhaps people are chosing not to adopt when they have already made plans. In…
Adoption of Ficelle
Today was yet another bank holiday here in France, so the SPA was closed. However as is becoming more and more common, several volunteers came to keep the dogs and cats company, which is wonderful. The animals love spending time with humans, even if they have to share the love a bit more than if…
Save the Date for Summer Fun!
As many of you have remarked, it has been a quiet week at the SPA and that of course means a quiet week on the blog. But don’t worry, we have not been idle! We are already busy planning the next fundraising event, which is due to take place next month; on June 17th to…
Adios Elios!
I think everyone felt very sorry for Elios when he was brought into the SPA for rehoming just over three weeks ago. A purebred braque francais, he arrived due to his owner’s illness. And whereas we see plenty of people leave the refuge dry-eyed, that was not the case here. Elios’s owner really loved him,…
