There was a good start to the week with the adoption of spaniel cross Jasmine. She was one of four presumed siblings who all arrived towards the beginning of July. Prunelle has already left, and Ben and Jerry are still waiting, but two out of four isn’t bad. It is not surprising that it is…

Two Sunday adoptions and a quick catch up
Another superb day at the refuge with two adoptions, but first some news to catch up on from yesterday. Although not an adoption per se, Saturday saw the departure into foster of a dog who has caused quite a stir since her arrival at the refuge. Petite Rose, or to give her her real name,…
Flea goes from Fleabag to Flea-less!
Ten days ago a little puppy was found at the refuge gates and was taken straight to the vet for a first visit, plus her first vaccination. Upon her return she was given loads of cuddles and was given the name Fleabag. The vet said he had never seen a puppy with so many fleas….
Fabulous Friday
Well, we were hoping for good news today, but we were not expecting this! Three very deserving dogs left the ScPA today, including a couple of long-termers, which makes it doubly good news. First to leave was Milo. We knew what breed he was, unlikely though it may seem. This great looking chap is a…
Two Assumption Day Adoptions
Today is Assumption Day and hence a bank holiday in France as in many other countries, but the ScPA was open for business as usual. There were plenty of volunteers on hand walking the dogs and cuddling the cats, and there were two adoptions, meaning that opening was definitely worthwhile. First to leave was Gretel….
Adoption of Néron
Tonight we are very happy to announce the adoption of Néron, a beautiful young Weimeraner. He has not been at the refuge for very long, but his rehoming is cause for celebration nonetheless. Néron is one of the many dogs who is extremely lucky to have made it to the safety of the ScPA. He…
Adoption of Arizona, Ailsa, Jura and Eros!
When Arizona arrived at the refuge as a stray she was in a sorry state. She was filthy, hungry, scared and worse of all she had scarring around her muzzle indicating that her mouth has been tied shut! This poor girl had been mentally and physically tortured so it was just as well she was…
Adoption of Buster
Today there was just one adoption, but as Mondays are hard in so many ways, any adoption is great. Buster arrived at the refuge in early July, supposedly found by a young couple who brought him in to the pound as an unidentified stray. I say “supposedly”, because when you see a dog jump out…
Adoption of Maurice.
Only one adoption today, but it was a good one! Maurice arrived with Léo, but unlike his bigger brother he was not identified on arrival. The owner of the two dogs came to the refuge and promised to come back and collect his dogs, but when he failed to get back in touch, the best…
Three Saturday Adoptions
August at the refuge is a time when adoptions are usually few and far between, with lots of people still on holiday. However this year seems to be bucking the trend. There were three adoptions today, and although dogs continue to arrive, the steady stream of adoptions means that the SCPA is coping reasonably well…
