Yesterday at the SPA we had two adoptions; the one that had been planned to take place on Tuesday and one that came completely out of the blue. First of all, Sam. He arrived recently and was such a handsome, easy chap that I think many of us assumed he would be reclaimed. Once the…

Three away as another week starts
As Facebook followers will have seen, since his arrival less than a week ago, one particular dog has been attracting quite a lot of attention. Beautiful J’Ochoum is a young Siberian Husky who was abandoned at the SPA gates by his owner. He is a stunning lad who is good with other dogs and very…
Adoption of Liana, and Tildi goes to a foster home.
Last week we blogged about puppy Liana, and the virtues or otherwise of the border collie. Well early this morning after the minimal time possible, (“pound delay” plus about one second), Liana went to her new family. Although we take no credit at all for helping Liana on her way, perhaps those of you interested…
(Mostly) bad news from home, good news from away.
We had one piece of good news today and two pieces of bad. Three if you include the fact that Tina’s owners have not come to collect her. As if we were not already full enough! First the good news; the adoption of Nacre, one of the gemstone pups. She is an adorable little girl…
Yes, it was a FIVE DOG FRIDAY
Some time ago that title was almost a regular Friday occurrence, so it is good to dust it off again, and we hope it bears well for the coming weekend. Let’s get the bad news over and done with first, though. The border puppy, Romy, who was adopted just a couple of days ago is…
Calypso finds a home
Mondays vary greatly in terms of the number of arrivals at the SPA, and it is an unusual Monday when we have good news, but today is something of an exception. Ignoring the arrivals for now, today we had the adoption of Calypso. She was brought in at the end of July and although she…
B is for BORDER
The main news today was that the litter of border collies who arrived at the SPA in early October is finally available for adoption. These puppies were born at the end of August, but were brought to the SPA before they were really old enough to leave their mum. Since their arrival they have been together in…
Urgent Appeal: Gege
Gege is our urgent appeal for no other reason than that he has been very unlucky. He was adopted but brought back 24 hours later as his new owner seemed to have an adverse physical reaction to him. Devastating for the poor dog, who had done nothing at all wrong. During his brief time in…
And they are off ( again ) !!!
This morning Jane and I had another very early trip to the refuge to hand over 6 lucky dogs who are travelling all the way to Cambridgeshire. The lucky 6 are Biker, Bogart, Brownie, Dali, Gun and Sacripan who seemed to know that they were off to pastures new and lept into the transporters van…
Amber and JW Adopted!
Amber arrived at the refuge mid August with two gentlemen who claimed to have found her. We suspected that they were her family and for some reason couldn’t keep her but it didn’t really matter as she was such a darling of a dog that we knew that she would soon be adopted. She settled…
