I don’t want to make this post like an Oscar acceptance speech, but I really do have a lot of people to say thank you to for all their hard work today. The sun shone, the refuge was immaculate, thanks to two volunteers reinforcing the morning cleaning team, and I think almost every dog on the refuge was walked thanks to a huge turnout of volunteers.
The cake stall raised 40 euros, and we received a further 140 euros in donations. Thanks to everyone who came along to support us and who gave so generously of their time and hard-earned cash. It will be well-spent, I promise.
Thanks also to the people who came to visit and show off the dogs they had adopted from us. Lovely to see so many old friends, both canine and human. What a day!
So on the adoption front, little Maxime, the fox terrier left, and there were two reservations. That may not sound like much, but it is great news for the dogs! And several people have gone home to “reflect” rather than jump in, which is always wise if you are unsure.
And perhaps the best news of the day is that little Doudou who was brought in yesterday has gone home to be fostered by gentle-hearted Di. She came to sell cakes, she left with a new family member. Such is the life of a SPA volunteer!
Thank you everyone. I am exhausted but happy.
Fantastic news – what a super day for the dogs and so many lovely human hearts…… especially that lady Di :))
What a lovely description of what sounded like a wonderful day. I was there in spirit. Thankyou to Di who went home with the best prize of all 😀
