Was it good news or bad? I don’t know. But in any case the four border collie pups who were brought in on Saturday were reunited with their owner. Someone saw a for sale advert on Leboncoin and phoned her to tell her where the pups were. If you have fallen in love with one…

Adoption of Shadow!
Some of you may have seen the photos of Quiz which were posted on Facebook last night when he arrived back at the SPA from Mag Dog. What a transformation! I have to state outright (in good BBC fashion) that other groomers are available, but huge congratulations and thanks to this salon. They contacted one…
Four adoptions but five arrivals.
No sooner had we found foster homes for yesterday’s two puppies (thanks very much to Marie-Pierre and Isabelle and their respective and tolerant families), but four new pups arrived. These are slightly older than the last “batch”, but are also border collies. All males. Like yesterday’s two arrivals, they are undoubtedly the result of an…
Kiko leaves, puppies arrive.
I mentioned yesterday that when some dogs arrive, we just know they won’t have long to wait. Others fall into a kind of mass of “invisible dogs”, which is led by dogs such as Blacky and Disco, who for reasons unknown, just pass unnoticed. A dog adopted today was a dog who could so easily…
Nouka is adopted and Swiffer gets a makeover!
Some dogs at arrive at the SPA and you just know they won’t have long to wait. In general this tends to apply to small dogs, especially those who are young and good with other dogs. Nouka was no exception; she arrived less than two weeks ago, abandoned due to a change in family circumstances….
Two arrivals and a missing pooch!
The refuge was much less busy today, and we can’t blame the weather, as for most of the day it was absolutely fabulous. And then all of a sudden it wasn’t! The heavens opened and the temperature dropped. Two dogs arrived, and both of them are probably happy to be under cover tonight. First to…
Two out, one in, and Bambi gets a visit
Well, we all knew that the amazing weather would have to end eventually, and today we had the first signs of winter. Not enough to put all of us off, but we were only able to walk a couple of dogs between showers. If you are coming a long way to walk dogs, it is…
Quiet day at the SPA, but DRC busy online!
Today was a very quiet day at the SPA, with just one dog, a little bichon, arriving and being reclaimed. And a beauceron, whose worried owners came to see us yesterday to look for their dog was found safe and sound. So that is two happy families (and dogs), today. Another happy dog is Toffee…
Open Day Sunday and some good news from Belgium!
Today was another beautiful day in Carcassonne and the SPA was open! Plenty of volunteers came to walk the dogs and we even had cupcakes thanks to Lucie and her clan! We had lots of visitors, and many of them were interested in certain dogs, although no reservations we made. Hopefully some adoptions will follow,…
Let’s be careful out there!
I hope everyone has had a lovely relaxing day. It was very strange for me and my fellow volunteers to not be at the SPA this afternoon; this was the first Saturday for literally years that I have been in Carcassonne at a weekend without being at the refuge. I and many others are looking…
