The New Year starts with excellent news, namely the adoption of Flash in Belgium. Some of you may remember this lad who was brought in with his three puppy siblings in March last year, but who was left behind when they were all adopted one by one. He spent several months at the SPA but it was not the best environment for him. He was so timid that walks were quite an ordeal, and despite the patience of the many people who tried to help him, he was just unable to make any progress.
Eline at Animal Trust loves just this kind of dog, and when she offered him a place at her refuge in August we knew that Flash’s life was going to change for the better. It was not long before we had videos of him racing round their play parks happily, and I was able to see him on a recent visit, shortly before he was put up for adoption, and see how he had progressed.
Today, with the new year, his new life begins properly. He has a new home with another dog and the promise of lots of love and walks. There is still more work to be done, but of course in a family home he will get even more attention and will come on in leaps and bounds. What a great peice of news to start 2017! Many thanks to Eline and all at Animal Trust.
You will notice some changes in the blog this year, by the way. Now that we are well-established we are going to blog less frequently, leaving us more time for other activities. Don’t worry, we are still going to tell you about adoptions, and other SPA and dog welfare issues will be covered, just not necessarily every single day. We are still very much here, though, ready to help with any issues you might have or to help find you the perfect dog with whom to share your life.
Happy 2017 everyone!
