Another beautiful day here and a very busy one at the refuge! First to leave was Poilu or Bleu as he is now called. Volunteer Ellen spotted him the day after he arrived and reserved him on the spot. She has been visiting him regularly during his ‘pound’ time, getting to know him and today…

Pueblo adopted!
Today was a stunning autumn day in the Aude and what is more we had the adoption of another black dog! It was Pueblo who was the lucky boy, although I am surprised that it took so long! This handsome three-year-old youngster arrived early September and touched lots of volunteer’s hearts. We all seem to…
A quiet Thursday!
Today was realy quiet at the refuge, no adoptions, no reservations and no arrivals! Lots of people contact us by email about a specific dog that they are interested in, so tonight I thought I would explain just what to expect when you arrive at the refuge. The reason we like to chat to you…
Adoption of Tornado…
The first dog to benefit from our Halloween special offer on adoption fees of black dogs was Tornado! This small terrier cross arrived in March along with 20+ others from a very unfortunate situation in a local village. All of these dogs were traumatised, unsocialised and it has taken many hours of staff and volunteers…
Patty…one of our many black dogs!
In the run up to Halloween we will be highlighting as many of our black dogs as possible! For those who missed Darcey’s blog on Sunday, we are reducing the adoption fee of any black dog by 50 euros until the 6th November! That’s a great offer. It means that a identified, vaccinated, sterilised and…

Another Sunday catch up…
As this isn’t the first Sunday of the month we were closed. Only the staff were in cleaning out kennels, feeding the dogs and cats and giving medication to those who need it. Sundays are a perfect opportunity to catch up with news of our doggies who are lucky enough to have a home and…
A quiet Saturday…
Today we had no adoptions which really is quite unusual for a Saturday so I thought that we would have a look at how you can help by sponsoring a particular dog. Lots of people sponsor and there are many reasons and may ways for doing it. Sometimes dog lovers are at a stage in…
Dinky Doo adopted….
Tonights blog is both an early one and a short one as we have a committee meeting to go to but at least its good news as we had an adoption! Dinky Doo, a tiny little terrier cross who arrived at the SPA at the end of August is todays lucky boy. He had probably…
Autumn hazards..
Today was a dull day at the SPA but there were plenty of volunteers and lots of dogs were walked. We had no adoptions and two arrivals who were then reclaimed so no change in numbers either way. We are lucky here as most autumn days are bright and sunny during the day so a…
