Today little yorkie Guess left for her new home, and what a lovely surprise her family had when they came to collect her. Today was the end of her pound time, and as well as being sterilised, Guess was also groomed by Angelique. And what a difference it has made. Doesn’t she look amazing? Guess is a very sweet girl, just two years old and fine with other dogs, cats and children. We have no idea what she was doing at the refuge. However with people constantly failing to identify their dogs and others abandoning them due to changes in circumstances, there are some real gems to be found behind bars! Many thanks once again to Angelique for de-scruffing little Guess!
We also had the adoption of Jet, and we are particularly happy about that, as this dog is just wonderful and seemed to be one of the dogs who just gets left behind. Arriving as an adolescent is one of the worst things for a dog. Quite often they are just reaching that difficult stage (a bit like human adolescents, in fact), where discipline is a problem and owners (and parents) can get very frustrated. Jet is just a very lively dog, with no behavioural problems other than a surplus of energy. Not aided by being at the SPA, of course, despite our dog-walkers’ best efforts.
He arrived towards the end of March and has been a favourite with staff and volunteers alike. And in fact he had just been made the urgent appeal on Dog Rescue Carcassonne’s website. A lot of us have been rooting for him, and today he left for his new home.
And the big news of the day was the adoption of Yuki. Looking at his SPA reference number, it appears as if this dog has been at the SPA for just a few months, but this is not the case at all. Yuki was adopted after over three years in December last year and brought back within a week by people who should never have adopted him in the first place. Upon his return his regular dog walkers (Sebastien, Karen) resumed their “duties” and they, like all of us, hoped that his turn would come again.
Well, this time looks like it is right, and Yuki has a home once again!
So a great way to end the week!
