Yesterday evening pictures of five puppies were put onto the internet as being available for adoption, and this afternoon three of them were adopted and a fourth reserved! Today Mauzac, Madiran and Gaillac all found homes, Salsa is reserved leaving only little Aydie behind. Strange, as usually females are far more popular than males, when it comes to adult dogs, at least.
Don’t panic if you missed out, though. As well as Aydie, there are other pups at the SPA looking for homes. All of them will be large dogs when they are adult, so if that is not your dream, don’t get carried away with their cuteness. It is far better to wait for a puppy who will be the right size for you when it is adult. And of course if you want to be sure of a dog’s size when it is fully grown, then the best thing is to adopt an adult. Just because we have lots of lovely puppies, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the dogs at the SPA are any less deserving of a new home. The puppies are only here because the owners were too irresponsible to sterilise their dogs, leaving the SPA to take up the slack, after all!
There were plenty of visitors and volunteers at the SPA this afternoon, some walking, others planning to adopt. There is good news on the horizon for several more dogs.
Don’t forget about our kennel-building session tomorrow afternoon. If you are too far away to help, please support us emotionally by cheering us along from a distance. A kennel is not as good as a home, but all being well some dogs will have better protection from the icy winds tomorrow night!
