Well, today saw no fewer than three dogs finding their owners. Tom, a Brittany spaniel and Bruno, a little griffon cross were both chipped, so reuniting them with their owners was not too tricky. However Moise (in real life, Titou) was not identified, so that was a bit harder. Turns out this border collie was…

Operation “Go Dog” is a success!
This blog was written by Rebecca, and a huge thank you goes to her and to James for the role they played in Operation Go Dog! As you all know, Saturday was another amazing day with nine dogs leaving the refuge, five of which were taken by the fabulous ORFEE Association. It is often the…
Twisted Gut: “the mother of all emergencies”
Well, news of the five dogs who left with Association Orfee yesterday is trickling in and all seems to be going excellently. There are a couple of photos already of the dogs in their new homes, but I will wait till tomorrow to tell the whole story, as Rebecca has all the photos of the…
Le grand depart take two!
No, I haven’t accidentally copied last Saturdays blog! Today was another amazing day, with nine dogs leaving the refuge. It was slightly different, this week, as today five of them left thanks to an association, the wonderful Association Orfee (http://association-orfee.forumactif.com/). These five dogs will all go to foster families where they will be assessed and…
Dogs and kids (again!)
I am sure many of you will have heard the terrible news of the four year old girl who was mauled to death by a recently adopted rescue dog in England earlier this week. Naturally there have been numerous discussions on various websites, and many people have sent us emails to ask us our opinion….
The sun shines again. A bit.
After a couple of pretty miserable days the sun shone again today, both literally and metaphorically. Several volunteers came to walk the dogs and the husky who was brought in yesterday found his home. Then came the excellent news that the owners of the 15 year old English setter had been found. This old boy…
A Poem For The SPA Carcassonne..by Michele
Today has not been a fantastic day at the SPA and just when Darcey and I were feeling a bit glum we received a poem written by Pitchou’s mum Michele which really cheered us up. So thank you Michele and I hope all our followers enjoy it as much as we did… SPA Carcassonne..by Michele…
No news but good news!
Well, unsurprisingly given the horrendous weather, there were very few visitors to the refuge today. Equally there were no dog walks taking place, although one hardy volunteer, Rob (a Brit; we are used to rain) did show up to offer his services. You may find it strange that we do not walk our dogs when…
Mangy Mutts!
Well, after the relative joy of the past few days, today has been far less uplifting. Last week a puppy arrived suffering from terrible mange; it was so severe that we did not even post a picture of him on Facebook. We prefer to reveal him to the public only once he has recovered enough…
I Would Drive 500 Miles..and I Would Drive 500 More
Yesterday Darcey told you about all the dogs who left the refuge and we are still smiling! It was fantastic to think that last night eleven of our dogs ( eight adopted and 3 into foster homes) were in loving families instead of in concrete kennels. That’s what we want for all of our dogs…
