Today there was just one adoption, but as Mondays are hard in so many ways, any adoption is great. Buster arrived at the refuge in early July, supposedly found by a young couple who brought him in to the pound as an unidentified stray. I say “supposedly”, because when you see a dog jump out…

Adoption of Maurice.
Only one adoption today, but it was a good one! Maurice arrived with Léo, but unlike his bigger brother he was not identified on arrival. The owner of the two dogs came to the refuge and promised to come back and collect his dogs, but when he failed to get back in touch, the best…
Three Saturday Adoptions
August at the refuge is a time when adoptions are usually few and far between, with lots of people still on holiday. However this year seems to be bucking the trend. There were three adoptions today, and although dogs continue to arrive, the steady stream of adoptions means that the SCPA is coping reasonably well…
Adoption of Diego (take 2) and of Kris
When Diego left last week we were all happy for him. One person however shed a tiny tear; glad that her favourite dog was happily homed, but sad that she was not his new owner. Jane had walked Diego many times and had a very strong bond with him, but for personal reasons was unable…
Two adoptions and RIP Filou
The week took a while to get going in terms of adoptions, but we have two to tell you about today. Little puppy Bruno has had a tough start in life, arriving at the refuge with an injury to his leg. This meant a plaster cast and relative immobility for him, but little Bruno seemed…
Four adoptions to end the week on a high!
Today we had four fabulous adoptions! What great news on which to end a steamy Sunday! When Neigo was adopted ten days ago we wondered when it would be the turn of his erstwhile kennel-mate, Kara. These two dogs arrived together at the beginning of May, and for once it was the boy who left…
Another day, another puppy adoption!
Today another puppy found a home. This time it was the turn of a lovely girl who was lucky enough to have been in foster with volunteer Daniel since her arrival on July 23rd. His name will be familiar to anyone who followed the progress of the spaniel litter, as it was he who adopted…
Adoption of Rimini
Delighted as we were for little Nova yesterday, of course we were all a bit sad for puppy Rimini, who was left alone. No, of course he did not spend the night alone, he was with another puppy, but she does not have her vaccinations yet, so playtime in the park looked as if it…
Adoptions of Diego and Nova
Today we said goodbye to Diego and his younger sister, Nova These two were brought in for rehoming in early July after a life of neglect. In fact there was a third dog too, puppy Nola, who found a home almost straight away. Adoptions are fairly slow right now, which might explain why the other…
Adoption of Roddy
When a male/female pair of dogs arrives at the refuge, I think that 9 times out of 10 the female is adopted first. We have seen this over and over again, most recently perhaps with Sofi and Kris, but it has been the same many times in the past. Today that trend was reversed, with…
