Todays news is mixed but one thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s blog was the fact that Tino went home. Tino was an 11 year old border collie who arrived at the refuge with a nasty wound to his neck. After some vet care he soon picked up but the vet thought that the…

One arrival and fundraising news…
Today there was not much news from the refuge apart from the arrival of a young, male, golden ‘mini’ Labrador. This lovely looking boy will be popular for sure but who knows there may be someone looking for him! If he is not claimed in 10 days he will be available for adoption so only…
Yesterday’s two adoptions..
Today being Sunday the refuge was shut. This means that its not open to volunteers or the public but of course the staff are still in and spend the mornings as usual feeding the dogs and cats, cleaning out kennels and giving medicines as required. Yesterday’s blog was a ‘general’ blog and so today we…
Leave the past where it belongs..
If you speak to people about adopting a rescue dog the fear that is expressed most often is ‘ you don’t know what’s happened to the dog in the past’. Now for all of our dogs who arrive at the refuge after being found straying this is essentially true but in my opinion this isn’t…
Bulle adopted…
I don’t know what it is about fox terriers but as soon as we get one in and we share its profile online its reserved. I know that they are affectionate, loyal and fun dogs who are also very cute and if they happen to be female then they seldom have long to wait at…
Lady Harley leaves at last…
Today’s adoption was one that I thought would have happened much sooner. In March a lovely two year old female shepherd cross arrived who looked just like a male dog we had had called Harley. So what did we call her? Lady Harley of course! 6 months is quite a while for a female dog…
Labrador puppies who need a home…
At the moment we have five healthy, happy labrador puppies who are all looking for their forever home! Labrador pups are always popular and I totally understand why. I too am a great fan and have two, a labrador x collie and a labrador x boxer. When you add a bit of labrador to most…
Astra adopted after less than 3 weeks..
Today we have mixed news from the refuge and good news for our dogs who travel to the UK.. Astra our lovely brindle coloured labrador cross who was reserved at Sundays open day was adopted after less than 3 weeks at the refuge. Small to medium sized females are always popular especially when they are…
A love story and 3 adoptions!
When Suzy started volunteering at the SPA in April, little did she know how much her life was going to change in so many ways. One of the first dogs she walked was Belle, a large Shepherd cross who arrived at the SPA last September when she was 8 years old. Belle was not a…
A successful Sunday…
Today lots of volunteers have been very busy in lots of ways and everyone’s goal was to help the animals of the SPA. The ‘car booter’ team were up very early to drive their wares over to Quillan for the Sunday vide grenier organised by Julie. Books, bric a brac, clothes and cakes were sold…
