The week got off to a typical miserable start, with two dogs found over the weekend being brought in. Firstly we have César, a young handsome German Shepherd who was found in Cuxac Cabardèslast night. Unidentified, of course. The next arrival was Gold, a small ratier cross found in Carcassonne. Again he was not identified….

A special delivery from Belgium
I said yesterday that in addition to the marvellous collection of cat-related goodies at Maxi Zoo, the SPA had had a very special delivery. Yesterday long-term and long-distance SPA Carcassonne supporter Sarah arrived from Belgium, bringing a whole van load of treats for the refuge. She drove all night, stopping for a sleep in a…
Cat collection and two adoptions, but Dragonfly returns :(
Today was the collection on behalf of the SPA cats courtesy of Maxi Zoo and there was a relay of volunteers manning the fort and in some cases returning to the refuge for dog walking “duties”. Things seemed to flow nicely, with a laptop presentation of the cats and kittens, and plenty of donations. Thanks…
Skipton skips off and a collection at Maxi Zoo
Those of you who do not have Facebook but who follow this blog, may not be aware that the lovely people at Maxi Zoo in Carcassonne are hosting a collection on behalf of the cats of the SPA. A further day is planned for the dogs later in the year, and of course anything that…
Two puppies in, one big dog out, thanks to Ambassador Rex!
As with yesterday’s mass arrival of felines, today’s first arrival happened before the refuge was even open. A puppy this time, a pale coloured female shepherd cross who has been named Mirza. We are always in two minds when female pups arrive at the SPA. On the one hand it is tragic for them, but…
Another dog who is better off with us….plus too many cats!
We had a sad and shocking arrival at the refuge today; Nestor, an Ariegeois cross who was found with a collar so tight that it had become embedded in his neck, leaving a festering wound. Now why on earth did his owner do this to him? These dogs are invariably gentle, and Nestor has such…
Vanille is reclaimed but three new dogs arrive.
Thanks to Facebook, the owner of the ten year old Yorkie was alerted to her arrival, so the afternoon got off to a good start, with this little dog leaving after just one night at the SPA. The owner has promised to get the details updated on the central database, as that way if Vanille…
Just walk away, Renée
A mixed day at the SPA today. Someone left an empty cage in one of the exterior boxes, so we will never know what small animal escaped from it. The owners did not have the courage to walk in and hand the animal over to make sure it was safe. And no, they were not…
A very special guest blog
Tonight we have a guest blog, so without further ado, I will hand over to Jane. Her words speak for themselves, so I will just say a very big “Thank you” to all concerned, and our sympathies once again. For nearly ten years now I have had the good fortune to be a member of…
Two puppies out, two adults in.
Well, today did not turn out to be a day of mass adoptions as I had hoped, but two dogs, both puppies, are now with their new families, which has got to be good. Plus the weather was great, so lots of dogs had a chance of a walk in the sunshine or a play…
