Today three dogs were adopted, which is a good start to what we hope will prove to be a good week.
Two are recent arrivals, and one of them has been lucky enough to avoid the SPA completely. Mustang was found tied to a petrol pump in a local village. When he arrived at the refuge he was completely exhausted and lay prone on the counter being gently stroked by employee Marion. It was she who decided to take Mustang home to foster, she who gave him his name and she who found him his new home. Thanks so much to her and her family. We hope she is not missing him too much tonight, saying goodbye to a pup you have looked after is never easy.
Second to leave was Arnold. He too has been with us for ten days, and although he has not had the benefit of a foster family, he did have the benefit of Angelique. She transformed him from his slightly scruffy self, to a lovely sleeky boy. But his new owner had already fallen in love with him before his true beauty was revealed.
On the subject of true beauty, it was only on Saturday that Pink went on her first walk. Photos of her up till then had shown her huddled up in her cage looking not very special, and still wearing the pink harness in which she arrived. On Saturday we saw how stunning she was, and despite a slight timidity, we knew she was indeed very special. We are delighted that she found her new home today.
Everyone would like more days like this!
