Adoption of Puppy Némo
We were joking last night that after one adoption on Monday, two on Tuesday and three last night, we were due for a bumper day today. Well, we did not have four adoptions, but we did have one, although it took place after hours and remote from the SPA, it is nonetheless an adoption. Little…
Three dogs are adopted and one is reclaimed.
Today Norton was reclaimed and as he is 15 years old, this is great news. He arrived in mid August and was not identified, so we were very worried. However a close look through the record of phone calls resulted in a clever employee putting two and two together. A week earlier a couple on holiday…
And Two More!
With three adoptions yesterday was already a great day. But at the time of the blog, we did not know that in fact a fourth dog left the SPA! The adoption took place after 18H00, so we have to thank the staff once again for their dedication. Baila had been homed once before but there were…
Sunday Adoption of Amy
Today was our regular first Sunday of the month open day at the SPA, and the temperatures were a lot cooler following last night’s very welcome rains.

It wasn’t long before Dana caught the eye of her new family, and although they could not take her home before today, they have…
Refuge shut, but two adoptions nevertheless!
The SPA was officially shut for the May Day bank holiday, but several of the volunteers were around and keen to come along and walk dogs and let others play in the parks. Plus we had two adoptions, so it was well worth us being there! First to leave was Noris. This lovely brindle dog…
Adoptions of Bugsy and Zack
Today it was Bugsy’s turn to find a home! He is a fabulous beauceron cross who had been at the SPA since July 2015, and as with Gamin, no one was quite sure why. Especially as Bugsy is fine with female dogs, and until her wonderful adoption, was living with the Nadja. In fact when…
Adoption of Marley, Laya and Rex..
Two of tonight’s three adoptions are both recent arrivals and are both young, lovely looking dogs. The third is an older gent who has had quite a wait in kennels. Laya had just more than the statutory pound time to wait and I am really not surprised. A young, friendly female of only two years…
