It has been a tough couple of days at the SPA, and it is worth talking about, as there are lots of lessons in here. Without naming names or entering into too many details, the SPA has been looking after a category 1 dog for several weeks, as the paperwork concerning this dog was not…

Dogs with Blogs..
Today was quiet at the SPA, no adoptions, 2 arrivals and one reservation. We will have pictures and information about the new arrivals tomorrow but tonight I thought that I would cheer you all up with news of our adopted dogs who have their very own blogs! The first one is our recently adopted Bob…
SPA deals in Weed!
The rain (and more importantly the snow) is still holding off, and there were plenty of volunteers walking the dogs today. In fact we had three new members of the team, and of course the more volunteers we have, the more dogs are walked, so we are delighted to welcome newbies! We had one adoption…
An Insight into Fostering
As many of you know, due to there being no room at the inn (I have four dogs and walk a fifth for an elderly neighbour), I am unable to foster dogs. So it was very interesting and enjoyable for me accompany some potential adopters to visit one of our foster families today. The family…
It’s Good to Share!
The SPA was shut today as it is not the first Sunday of the month, so there is no “hot off the press” news. However there is always something to talk about in the word of dog! Yesterday I mentioned that we had some new volunteers. One of them could not join in the dog…
Tiger goes to a foster home!
The snow didn’t arrive but it was still very cold at the SPA. We volunteers are made of sturdy stuff, however, and many of us were there to walk dogs as if nothing was happening; as if our ears were not being frozen and as if we could still feel our fingers. Such devotion. It…
Icy winds arrive, as do two dogs.
Well, with the weather turning icy cold again we would like to have dogs leaving as opposed to arriving. Sadly life is far from ideal, and today we had two new arrivals. I was not at the SPA today, but I received a message from Carole to say that I would love the first arrival….
Adoption of Deliss thanks to three Ms!
There was another adoption today, and although the dog has not been at the SPA for long, and although it was an easy home, that does not make it any less wonderful for the dog. Little Deliss is only seven years old, but if you look at her vaccination book, she has already had four…
Two wonderful adoptions!
Today we had two fabulous adoptions. First to leave was Pato, who arrived with us in September 2013, when he was already 9 years old. He is a big dog, who prefers living alone in his kennel. But apart from a tendency to attack car tyres (whether moving or stationary), this boy was fabulous on…
One arrival, no adoptions, but sunny walks raise morale.
We suspected that not every week could be like last week, and this is proving to be the case. Not that hordes of dogs are arriving, but in contrast to last week, adoptions are non-existent so far. There was one arrival today, a fabulous looking boxer found in Limoux. I am sure he will catch someone’s…
