On a day when there are no adoptions how can there possibly be good news?
Well firstly the weather was fabulous and the volunteers were able to get quite a few dogs out for walks, which is always great. And secondly we got to meet and take photos of a couple of recent arrivals and they are both really amazing and neither should have long to wait before finding a new home. If they are not reclaimed, that is.
First is three year old Mila, who is beautiful and affectionate. She has a poorly ear at the moment, but of course she is getting treatment for that (a mild infection). At the moment there is lots of head-shaking (a classic sign), but when she isn’t doing that she is busy giving cuddles to anyone she can. As the photos show, she has had several litters of puppies already, so her good news is that we will get her sterilised, as we do all our dogs.
And next there is Dolly, who is just stunning. She is soft and gentle and appears to be well-trained. Don’t be fooled by the grey fur, this girl is young and brimming over with love. Whoever adopts her will consider themselves exceptionally blessed.
I guess the final piece of good news is that a last minute arrival today was rescued from the canal, and brought to the safety of the SPA. Yes, in theory all dogs can swim, but they can’t get out of steep river banks, especially when they have not been brushed or combed for many many months. No doubt Plouf will feel a whole lot lighter once he has had some of that matted fur clipped.
We have an adoption taking place tomorrow, so tomorrow’s news will be even better! Plus we had a wonderful reservation of a medium to long termer. But that news is for later on!
New arrival DOLLY
And out of the canal- new arrival PLOUF
