We knew that more good news was due this week, but we didn’t expect FOUR adoptions in one day! And two recent arrivals were reclaimed, so it was a good Thursday.
First to leave was Tartine. This tiny bichon puppy finished her pound time today, and the people who had reserved her shortly after her arrival have had a very nervous wait. We have no idea why her owners did not look for her, nor why this little lass was not identified (grrr), but in any case, she has a new home now, and we wish her lots of love and happiness.
Second to leave was lovely Billy! None of us have been able to understand why this dog has spent so long at the SPA. Billy was abandoned in January when his owner moved house. Since then he has won the hearts of just about everyone, but he hadn’t managed to find a home. Okay, he is not good with some dogs, but he is far from being a difficult dog. He has been adopted by a woman who spends her time between France and Sweden, and while in France he will spend his time with Reba, who came from Poorpaws many years ago. Billy deserves every bit of joy that is now coming his way.
Next to leave was Duke. He arrived in early May, and like Billy, he is the perfect dog. A Newfoundland cross, he is one of the dogs who spent time at Maxizoo on Saturday, where his behaviour was immaculate. On Tuesday a family came to meet Duke, and they returned today to make sure he was okay with their own dog. Duke now has a wonderful home, and we look forward to news and photos of him.
Last to be adopted today was Jonquille. In fact she never spent any time at the refuge. We were contacted by a family who needed to rehome her, and we managed to “match make” with a family who have visited the SPA on several occasions looking for a small female dog who was good with children. This shows the advantage of people telling us as much as possible about their dogs; we knew Jonquille fit the bill, and today she was sterilised and the adoption was finalised. Many thanks to her new family for their help in making this work.
Hendricks and Jimi (okay, his real name is Bull) both left with their owner and now both of them, not just one, are chipped. It is the law!
