Tonight we have three adoptions to report! Two took place yesterday and one today.
First up is Tobias, who arrived at the SPA at the end of Summer last year having been found tied up to a lamppost behind the airport. He had been microchipped in Belgium, and despite the best efforts of our team of volunteer detectives, his owners could not be found.
I must confess that I never walked him. Like many of the volunteers, my contact with Tobias was limited to giving him pats and cuddles (and being loving slobbered on in return) as he made his way to and from the parks or on occasional walks (thanks Erwan!), usually towing someone behind him. Yes, this boy was strong strong STRONG!
It was love at first sight when his new owner visited the SPA yesterday, though and so after almost 10 months behind bars, Tobias finally found a home.
And he was not the only lucky dog yesterday, either. Bonnie had not been with us for long, but it is always wonderful when a dog is adopted before spending too long at the SPA.
Today’s adoptee, Tonka, had a bit longer to wait, arriving as she did in mid-April. Her new mum arrived with only one dog in mind, and providing Tonka got on with her magnificent male boxer, all would be well. Sure enough they seemed fine together and so it was goodbye to Tonka. She is not quite eight months old, so it is wonderful that she found her new home.
There were three arrivals, including that of the beautiful girl below. The two other should be leaving with their owner, so no photos for now.
So three adoptions so far this week. Let’s hope there are more to come.
Bonnie – ADOPTED
Tonka – ADOPTED
And today’s beautiful new arrival
