Okay, I have a confession to make. When I wrote yesterday’s blog I made the assumption that Tayson had arrived at the SPA. I knew he was on his way, which is why I had the photo, and I knew he was safe and well. Now I confess; at the time of going to press…

Tayson is back….plus three in and three out.
On August 17th DRC put out an urgent appeal for someone to collect former SPA resident Tayson from a refuge in Department 07, where he had arrived as a stray. Any dog adopted from the SPA Carcassonne will always have a home with us. I lose count of the number of dogs who “belong” to…
Yesterday’s adoption of Scampi and some new arrivals for you to meet!
At the end of July a tiny pup arrived at the refuge. He was scared, anxious but most of all, like all very young pups, he was at risk. Although the refuge is a safe haven for lost dogs, when it comes to tiny pups who are not vaccinated it can be a very dangerous…
R.I.P Kitty…
Todays blog is a sad one…….. Regular blog followers will all remember Kitty’s story. When tiny Kitty was brought to the refuge in June 2013 she was in an terrible state. You might remember that her owner took us to court to force us to return the dog, despite the years of neglect she had…
HELP…WE NEED A HERO !!!!!!!!!
In May you might remember how jubilant we were when Tayson was adopted from us for the fourth, yes the fourth time! Each time he was returned as he kept escaping and each time we of course warned future adopters that they needed a secure garden. The last time we were actually hopeful that the…
Gismo Arrives and Lisbon Leaves..

Better Off With Us..
Lots of people are understandably horrified when they come to the SPA. There are lots of dogs, barking and circling in cages who are desperate for attention and for some people this is very overwhelming, I remember the first day that I came along to volunteer I was really shocked at how small the kennels…
Puppy Jenga Leaves..
Today puppy Jenga left with her forever family after only 12 days at the SPA. The family came along to meet her last week and were so delighted with this cute and friendly little girl, they reserved her on the spot. From when a dog arrives as a stray there is an official waiting period…
Adoption of Rex after 15 months!
In May 2013 a dog was brought to the SPA who was already well known to us. Like many other of our regular visitors, we knew Rex’s owner and were expecting him to come and reclaim his dog, as he had done on previous occasions. Actually to be fair, the previous time it was employee…
Two adoptions and two reservations, Plus four dogs are reclaimed!
Before the refuge had opened and before many of the staff had even arrived for work this morning, we had our first adoption! Little Vixen, one of our Golden Oldies, had left on the long journey to Brittany to meet her new mum, who had fallen in love with her on the Internet. This was…
