Eventually something positive will happen, so please don’t stop reading the blog. However if you need good news now, this is not the place to be. We can show you a photo of Cocktail, which was not available last night. Isn’t he a handsome boy! Sadly though, he is just one of a number of…

Arrival of final member of Cocktail litter.
Today was yet another depressing day at the SPA with two dogs arriving. One, Bruno, was adopted from us recently and his owners are coming to get him tomorrow, but the other is yet another abandoned dog. Who remembers the “cocktail” litter, which included Mojito, Pina Colada etc? Well, one of this litter was homed…
Some crumbs of comfort
I wish I could give you some good news today to bring joy to our hearts. However sadly I have nothing remotely cheery to tell you. Someone contacted the SPA Facebook page to ask if we could help them sell their Chihuahua puppies. Err; wrong move. No, it wasn’t me that replied; I don’t know…
Adoption of Dia”bob”lo
Well, the dog who was reserved on Sunday left today. The lucky boy was Diabolo, and we are over the moon for him. He, as you may remember, was found along with his brother Panach at the Club Canin at Trebes. Panach was adopted last weekend, and everyone was wondering how Diabolo would get on…
Bowie Wows Everyone….
Like lots of the SPA volunteers I am used to overnight doggy guests so when I went off to collect Bowie from the SPA on Friday I was unaware just how good natured and easy this boy was. He was coming to stay overnight and then travel with us all the way to Edinburgh. What…
Christmas Cheer!
Today was the day of the Christmas Market at Cavanac, where the SPA had a stall. It looked very festive, the weather cooperated and the team seems to have had a great time. One of the highlights was a visit by Kaiser, who had spent so long at the SPA that some of us were…
Fundraising and the adoption of Balou!
Last night DRC had a Christmas fundraiser and as all the funds will make their way to the SPA, I think it is okay to share the news with SPA supporters too! Karen and “Team Balestide” hosted 50 guests, all of whom enjoyed an evening of food, dancing and merriment. Of course there was a…
Bowie leaves as does Zumba. One arrival.
Today was a tough one for one foster family. When Bowie arrived in late October he went straight home to be fostered by Carole. She is a great lover of golden retrievers, and Bowie was thin and had some issue with his back leg. Initially everyone expected (hoped) that the foster would turn into an…
Departure of DJ. But two arrivals.
There is a really strange phenomenon that sometimes takes place at the SPA. We have no name for it, so if you can think of one, please let us know. What happens is this: nobody pays any attention to a paticular dog, and then all of a sudden it is like a button is pushed,…
Adoptions of Leika and Rox
Today was a day that couldn’t come soon enough for one couple and their new dog! Louise said yesterday that the ten days between reserving Leika and the day of her collection have been the longest ten days of her life! The delay was not due to pound time; that has been over for ages…
