This morning at (almost) the crack of dawn, Bronx went off to start his new life, courtesy of Moira, who took him halfway to his new home where he was handed over to his new family. They had contacted us via the internet and after much discussion; they chose Bronx, one of the “Cocktail litter”….

Third super adoption in a row!
Today is Tuesday. Let’s just ignore Sunday, when the refuge was shut, and just look at the last three days when the SPA was open. On Saturday we said goodbye to Lucky. Then on Monday we said goodbye to Dusty and then today we had yet another single adoption but again an excellent one. Today…
Dusty’s SPA days are done!
Moira hinted yesterday that we are not exactly in the best of spirits at the SPA right now. A number of things have been affecting our mood, most notably people who don’t care for their dogs but are willing to go to any lengths to get them back so they can continue to ignore or…
The Famous (Scottish) Five!
When spirits are low and adoptions are few and far between the news of our former SPA dogs really brightens us up, especially when we see how happy and how lucky the dogs have been to go to such super families. The first update is of Melba, the beautiful Braque Allemande who traveled with me…
Lucky’s lucky day!
As the dogs return from their walks, or while they are playing in the parks, we try to take photographs of them which we then upload to Facebook. It is quite interesting to go back and see the evolution of the dogs as they get used to life at the refuge. The early photos quite…
One dog Friday
Sometimes we look at numbers, and our occasional Four or Five Dog Fridays have been a cause of much celebration. However in my bleaker moments (and there are plenty, believe me), I tell myself that each dog homed is a dog happy. So the adoption of one single dog is still cause for celebration. How…
Adoption refused!
The SPA was very quiet today in terms of visitors, but not in terms of volunteers, so plenty of dogs were either walked or spent time in the parks. I even got out on a couple of walks myself, which is not always possible. One lucky dog was found by his owner thanks to his…
Pollux finds a home!
The headline I never thought I would write! While Moira was blogging, she mentioned that despite both of us being on the road, we had managed to organise a super reservation. We are loath to announce reservations before the dogs actually leave, so what she did not mention was that the reservation was that of…
Limbo leaves, Gafarot returns.
Today we said goodbye to little Limbo a teckel cross who had been at the SPA for about eight weeks. That is the GOOD news of the day. I hadn’t mentioned up to now the return of Gafarot, mostly because I couldn’t believe that it was true. But sure enough, two days after his adoption…
Low Spirits.
Today I am officially angry and upset. We received word this morning that one of our dogs, Spirit, was in the refuge at Pexiora. She had been adopted from us in December last year and heaven alone knows what has happened to her since. Our first priority was to get the dog back with us….
