Today Dingo left for his forever home. Its been a long wait for this little fellow who was returned to us after adoption about this time last year. Although that adoption didn’t work out we learnt a lot about Dingo and so we were quite prepared to wait until the perfect home came along. We knew that this needed to be a dog savvy couple, a quiet relaxed household with no children or visiting grandchildren where Dingo would have space to find his place without any pressure whatsoever.
We know this couple well. This will be their third dog that they have saved. Thank goodness for people like Sue and hubby, his new mum and dad, who are prepared to give dogs like Dingo a chance and we will be sure to keep you all updated re his progress.
Dingo’s journey started this morning when Dominique collected him from the refuge to take him to Toulouse. From Toulouse he traveled with SPA supporter David, transporter extraordinaire, to Limoges airport. He was collected there by Sue his new mum and will be enroute to his new home right now. Many, many thanks to Dominique, David and of course to Sue and hubby!
This morning we launched an appeal for little Charlie ( ex Caramel) who is 11 and in foster with Jane. Charlie was adopted from us 10 years ago but as his mum is terminally ill he arrived back at the SPA. We are more than happy to help under such sad circumstances! We now think that Charlie would be happier as an only dog so are looking for a special family who would like an older, extremely affectionate boy who has tons of character!
Even although we have 120+ dogs, when we get an old, a sick or a dog with special needs like Charlie or Dingo we all do whatever it takes to find a solution. We don’t leave dogs in need to suffer in our kennels, we just keep trying! This is because we are all there primarily because we love dogs and whatever problems arise, we deal with them for the dogs sake.
The SPA is so lucky to have such devoted staff, volunteers and supporters without whom we couldn’t always help the Dingos or the Charlies. So a massive thank you to everyone who help make life a bit more bearable for our doggies!
Even although Dingo left today we had 4 arrivals. This means that we have 3 more dogs at the SPA tonight. We will catch up with news about them tomorrow!
Dingo…adopted!
Charlie ( ex Caramel) needs a home..
