The first of today’s adoptees, Laika, arrived just five days ago, but already she has a new home. This is for a couple of reasons, number one being that she arrived with a contract of abandon, and number two being that somebody expressed interest in her immediately upon her arrival. Laika is a sweet little…

Two adoptions and missing moggie Molly is reunited with her family.
There were two adoptions today, to brighten an already sunny but windy day. Believe it or not, the third of the six Greek God(esse)s was adopted. For a group of unwanted dogs, they have certainly had a lot of success finding homes! Today it was the turn of the eldest of the group, Peanuts. Yes,…
Adoption of Athenais
Last week we told you of the adoption of Apolline, the first of the group of six Greek God(esse)s to be adopted. They, you will recall, were all found at the refuge gates at the beginning of March, with no clues as to their origin. As four of the six were females, none of whom…
Adoption of Puppy Popy
It was another fabulously sunny day today, and it brought a new home to a very lucky puppy. Popy and his 2 pals were brought to the ScPA towards the end of January following a phone call from the Mairie of a nearby village. As was the case with the seven dogs brought in last…
An adoption plus a miracle for Marcus.
Some more excellent news today, with the departure of two more dogs. Marcus was brought back to the SCPA in mid January to the shock of everyone who remembered his adoption all those years ago. After more than 2 years at the refuge, everyone thought he had a home for life. However the couple had…
Lucky Seven Take Two!
Another big day for leavers, with no fewer than seven dogs setting off for a new life in Belgium. The name Animal Trust might ring a bell with people who have been following us for a while. It is a private refuge which has taken dogs from the ScPA several times before. Eline, who runs…
Adoption of a mucky pup and 2 lucky pups!
Who remembers when Camboui arrived at the beginning of the month? This young labrador had clearly been playing somewhere very messy, and was almost grey with dried mud! Despite a few warm days, the ScPA dog-washing season has not really got underway, so although he is looking a bit better, he still needs a wash….
Adoption of Cuba and Bouboule finds a foster
we have two lovely leavers to tell you about today. First off we said goodbye to Cuba, a 6 year old fox terrier who has gone to to live in the UK. Susanna his new mum, has been following DRC for years, and for the last couple of months has been looking for a dog…
Adoption of Ziggy (again)
Ziggy was the last dog to leave before Christmas 2018, and when he left (for what was at least the 2nd time), we were all optimistic. A previous failed adoption had told staff more about the dog than they knew before, and this time everything looked good. Sadly he was brought back exactly one month…
Adoption of Prune
A very sunny day brought the adoption of six year old Prune. This lovely shepherd cross was brought back for rehoming three weeks ago with a very impressive CV; calm, obedient, good with other dogs and children. It is a shame that the family who adopted her when she was a puppy could no longer…
