As usual on a Sunday, at least three Sundays out of four when the SPA is closed, we reflect on the week that has just passed. Highlights of the week were undoubtedly the adoptions of two long termers Phoebe and Kate. And incredibly, the two of them arrived within a week of each other back in May last year. What a coincidence that they should leave within a couple of days of each other.
Regardless of how long the dogs are at the SPA, we love hearing news and receiving photos. Let’s face it, all the dogs have had hard times of some description, otherwise the SPA would not have featured in their lives at all.
Although his recent stay with us was very brief, I suspect that Storm has never been as happy as he is now. Just look at this photo. It should bring a smile to the face of every single person who believes in second chances!
Despite the SPA’s being shut, there has been activity behind the scenes, as usual. Thanks to Dominique there are wonderful new album covers for many of our dogs on the SPA Facebook page, including some newly highlighted older dogs, who are looking for homes urgently. Don’t forget that older dogs leave for a special senior adoption fee of just €80.
Not only that, employee Angelique sneaked into the SPA on her day off to do some volunteer grooming, and has worked her magic on Carl. He is a gorgeous German shepherd who is just over a year old and as well as being fine with other dogs, he is cat friendly too. Perhaps Angelique’s efforts will help him attract a home in double quick time, but in any case he must surely feel more comfortable without all his winter fur.
And tomorrow another week begins with some departures already scheduled.
