A home for Helly
Today at the refuge was hot, far too hot! Summer time is very hard for the dogs and even with tarpaulins on the cage roofs to create some shade, its so so hot! A couple of weeks ago we did appeal for paddling pools for the dogs and thanks very much to those who donated…
Adoption of Dana
We had an adoption yesterday; that of little Dana who has been renamed Jipsy. She arrived almost 2 weeks ago, having been found tied up in the vineyards in a nearby village. It wasn’t long before Dana caught the eye of her new family, and although they could not take her home before today, they have…
Adoption of Puppy Boston
We had a great adoption today, that of Boston, now renamed Wonka. Some puppies arrive and attract lots of attention, and this was one such pup. He is a gorgeous little lad, and we have no idea at all why he arrived at the SPA, but we are pleased that he only had the ten days’ pound…
Louisiana Back at Home Thanks to Quillan Police
Today was a busy one at the SPA, with four dogs being collected by their owners. Three of them only arrived today, so usually we would not blog about this, but the fourth dog, Louisiana, arrived on Saturday, and her story is a bit different. Louisiana is a small and very pretty fox terrier who was…
Fun at Chateau Miaou and an Open Sunday at the SPA
DRC volunteers were up early today getting ready for the event at Chateau Miaou. At 10 am the first guests arrived, and after that there was a constant stream of people popping in and out, buying clothes and books, eating sausages and chatting in the sun (yes, SUN) or just showing us their ex SPA dogs….
Two Puppies are Adopted
Today two puppies found new homes. The first to leave was Nelly. She arrived ten days ago, and as she was adorable and was wearing a very expensive collar, we thought she would be reclaimed. Wrong yet again! The family who reserved her last week were delighted, of course; they too were sure they would…
Four Adoptions.
We knew that more good news was due this week, but we didn’t expect FOUR adoptions in one day! And two recent arrivals were reclaimed, so it was a good Thursday. First to leave was Tartine. This tiny bichon puppy finished her pound time today, and the people who had reserved her shortly after her…
Adoption of Two Unwanted Dogs
Yes, I know, all the dogs at the SPA are unwanted to some extent, however you will see what I mean in a minute. We have two adoptions to tell you about today, and despite being different in many ways, the dogs have one thing in common. Both dogs came in unidentified, and the owners…
Pools and Puppies
It has been a quiet week in terms of adoptions so far this week, although we know that some lucky dogs will be leaving later in the week. Yesterday two dogs arrived and departed and one of them, Reglisse, is 17 years old! Incredible that he should have not been identified all this time. If…
