Yesterday we heard about Pitchou’s 10th birthday and today we have two more birthdays to report!
Yesterday was also Harleys third birthday. Harley arrived at the refuge with her sister and went to live with Lucie and family when she was just a few months old. She has matured into a lovely family dog and shares her household with 4 young children, two kittens and a foster dog!
Tomorrow is also Maisie’s ( ex Helfies) third birthday. She was adopted from the SPA two years ago and here is what mum Pauline has to say:
‘She has become a much loved member of our family and a favourite with all the children who stay in our Gite through the summer months. We even thought we should change her name from Maisie to “Maisie sit” as she sits patiently in front of a small child offering her front paws one at a time in return for a fuss or her ball thrown.
Unfortunately she still likes to intimidate my cats but at least now she stops chasing them when l shout her name. The person who abandoned her to the SPA never gave her the chance to show her true worth and lost out on a wonderful companion.’
Its great to here how happy our dogs are with their forever families and it really gives us hope for the others.
Pocahontas, Balou, Dali and Exquise are not so lucky. They have to spend their June birthdays at the SPA. Pocahontas has just become 4 this month and this will be her 3d birthday at the SPA. Balou and Dali have also had birthdays, becoming 9 and 5 so lets hope that none of them are here for their next birthday. On Tuesday the lovely Exquise will be one. What a shame that, at less than one year old, she has already had to endure refuge life.
Please think long and hard about the responsibilities of getting a dog, especially a pup. No dog deserves to end up in rescue and for some, like Pocahontas, it’s a long stressful wait for their forever family.
We also have news from the UK. Bernie has found his forever home! He was a favorite with the staff and volunteers at Many Tears but like us they are delighted that he has found his forever family! This was made possible by his sponsors, friends of the greatly missed Darren Mann, who offered to pay Bernie’s transport costs! Thank you all so much from us and Bernie!
