I am remote blogging, and despite (or maybe because of) the wonders of technology, this will have to be brief! The only news from the refuge was the official adoption of Lolipop, following her sterilisation, that took place today. Other than that things were pretty quiet, apart from the fact that three more of our dogs were lucky enough to find sponsors. This scheme enables dogs, like Tammy here, to have some home comforts, even if the likelihood of her ever finding a home is slim.
Tammy is 14 years old, and appears to have been dumped at the refuge just at the time when she needs a home the most. I wish I could say that her case is unusual, however sadly this is not so, and we see more and more elderly or sick dogs arriving at our door.
Sponsoring a dog is simple, you just choose which ever dog (or indeed cat) you like, and it is up to you where you go from there. Some people send a monthly donation, others visit and walk or groom their chosen animal, others but small gifts, like Scalibor collars (which protect them against ticks and mosquitos. The choice is yours. Some fosters even end up adopting their dogs! Whatever you do, it helps the SPA and certainly raises morale of both animals and humans!
If you are interested in sponsoring a dog at the SPA, please get in touch. We have plenty of dogs who so far are without a benefacteur. They would love to know that someone cares about them as they lie in their kennel….
