The refuge was closed today, so we thought we would show you some photos of dogs in their new homes, something which always helps to raise morale, as if the great end to the week was not enough. First of all, here is a dog not in his new home, but who came to see…

More adoptions to end the week.
Well, we said in yesterday’s blog that another dog would leave before the day was out, and sure enough, a few minutes before midnight, Faro left for his new home in England. As one of the most senior dogs at the SPA, this lovely old boy was lucky to have found a new home. Many…
A bumper day for adoptions!
What a great way to (nearly) end the week! Seven dogs are now in their new homes, and by this time tomorrow, another one will be on his way, too. As hinted in yesterday’s blog, a couple of these departures were already planned, as the dogs had been reserved earlier. However that does not mean their…
Does anyone recognise Ronnie?
Yes, that is a picture of a cat! Although we are very dog-centred on this blog, sometimes we get involved in things feline, particularly when there is an anglophone angle, as there is today. Some six months ago a cat was found by a woman who did not obey the golden rule of taking the…
Lewis is adopted but two sad dogs arrive
Adoptions are slow at the moment, which is usual for this time of year. Rest assured, though, we have several dogs with their bags at least half packed, as their departure date approaches. No dogs left today, but we have yesterday’s adoption of Lewis to catch up on. Some of you may remember this dog…
Two more adoptions to end the week.
There is good news and bad today. Firstly we had two lovely adoptions to end what has been a pretty wonderful week in terms of adoptions. It is rare that we have so many dogs leave, especially when you look at the mixture of sizes and time spent at the refuge. Today was the turn…
Three more dogs leave, including a long-termer!
On July 1st we wrote about some of the poor dogs who have been at the SPA for over two years, which is the length of time that DRC has existed on a formal basis. One of those dogs, Falco, left for his new home today. He was brought to the SPA in March 2014…
Two wonderful adoptions.
When Princesse arrived at the end of February, complete with microchip, her owners promised to collect her the next day. Then the next. Then the next. Until we realised that they were never coming to collect her. This was not the first time they had done this; one of their previous dogs had also been rehomed…
Five dog Wednesday!
Well, we have had a few Five Dog Fridays, but this could be our first ever five dog Wednesday. This morning three of the little dogs from Ste Eulalie were driven from the SPA to a new life thanks to the association Jamais sans mon chien. Here the lucky three, Nicotine, Ondine and Suzette, will…
Adoption of Flêche, but a sad return for Storm
Before we tell you the amazing news of Flêche’s departure, we must first say a big thank you to Carole and Aude, who this morning drove to a local pound to collect ex-SPA dog Storm, who has been there for two weeks. This fabulous dog was adopted in March 2014, and was found attached to…
