In yesterday’s blog I mentioned this weekend’s collection of croquettes and goodies at Jardiland and as usual we are feeling very appreciative for all the donations. Sacks of croquettes, treats and all sorts of goodies were donated as volunteers spoke to people about the SPA, what we do, the importance of sterilising your pets and…

Two pups leave but Palmito is back….
Last night Darcey mentioned that two more pups had arrived. That is 7 pups who have already arrived this year and that’s after admitting 15 at the end of 2014. Why is this still happening and why are people still not sterilising or taking responsibly for their dogs? Fortunately these pups are very cute, Alf…
Dogs with Blogs..
Today was quiet at the SPA, no adoptions, 2 arrivals and one reservation. We will have pictures and information about the new arrivals tomorrow but tonight I thought that I would cheer you all up with news of our adopted dogs who have their very own blogs! The first one is our recently adopted Bob…
Barking Mad or Sensible Precautions?
This morning there was an email from an English lady who was interested in adopting one of our dogs and wanted to know about our adoption procedures. Potential adopters are often astonished how easy it is to adopt from us as they have experienced the rigorous and over the top hoops you need to jump…
Puppy Preparations..
Over the last month or so we have had lots of pups arrive at the SPA which I have to say is quite unusual for this time of year. These pups have all been very lucky as we have managed to find foster places for all of them. This is really quite remarkable and shows…
Living The Dream In Scotland…

Bowie Wows Everyone….
Like lots of the SPA volunteers I am used to overnight doggy guests so when I went off to collect Bowie from the SPA on Friday I was unaware just how good natured and easy this boy was. He was coming to stay overnight and then travel with us all the way to Edinburgh. What…
#Black Dog Sunday!
Forget Black Friday, Cyber Monday, today is #BlackDogSunday! This years ‘Black Friday’ hype was almost impossible to ignore as will be tomorrows Cyber Monday so we at Dog Rescue Carcassonne though that we would join in and create a #BlackDogSunday. This will become an annual event to promote our wonderful black dogs and will be…
Freedom For The Bond Girl….
Let’s hope today is not an omen for the rest of the week. Before the SPA had even opened, the adopter of Kort (who left us on Saturday) brought his new dog back. After an hour’s walk yesterday he noticed that Kort was limping, and so we had “sold” him a faulty dog. And no,…

There is a day for…
