Today we said goodbye to two more dogs. Little Spike arrived exactly ten days ago, and as he was identified and in good condition we were optimistic that he would be reclaimed. However ten days is long enough to wait, especially as Spike had already caught the eye of a family who were keen to offer him a new home. Today he left with his new family and we wish him loads of happiness.
We also said goodbye once again to Ness. She is one of the most lively puppies we have had for some time, and although she was very well behaved in her last home (where she spent just 6 days), it is clear that she needs a training minded family with lots of time to devote to her education and entertainment! Her new family had read about her online and came to the SPA specifically for her, so at least they know what they are letting themselves in for. Not that we are implying that Ness is a monster, but of course it is only right that we give adopters as much information about each dog as possible; we do not want Ness coming back to the refuge again, unless it is to pay us a visit.
There were a couple of reservations as well, so another good week. And it is not over yet, by any means. Don’t forget the SPA Photo Competition taking place tomorrow. A team of volunteers will be at the refuge from 14H00-18H00 to introduce you to the dogs, offer you a refreshing drink and maybe lure a few more people into volunteering or adopting one of our many fabulous dogs!
