According to the weather forecast todays overcast sky and lovely breeze is the calm before the storm but lots of volunteers took advantage of the break from the sun to come along and walk dogs.
Today we had a special visitor. Faro who was adopted just over a year ago and lives in the UK was on holiday near Carcassonne so came along to say hello and have a walk with some of our dogs. Faro did not arrive empty handed and brought more scalibor collars, cat and dog food, so a big thank you to Kim and Graham his mum and dad!
He must have brought Tipi luck as just after his walk with Faro he was adopted and that was after waiting 18 months for his forever home. I really cant understand why this lovely boy had so long to wait, he was good with other dogs, calm and easy to walk. Ok he is a hound and is a bit vocal but only when he is excited and thinks that he is going off hunting. He has gone to a calm home with an older couple which is just perfect for him.
We did of course have a new arrival. A very scared Bleu de Gascogne. This poor lad looked terrified and I expect that this is yet another hunt dog who has only seen life in a kennel. Never mind, little does he know how much his luck had turned as our staff are fantastic at bringing on timid dogs and we will look for a patient, loving home for him where he can enjoy the life that every dog should have.
So ends another hot week but numbers of dogs are not too bad. I wish I could say the same about kittens, they are everywhere. We have had over 60 arrive over the last few weeks and they are still arriving! If you are thinking about a kitten please think about adopting..all of our kitties are vet checked, leucose tested, identified, vaccinated, had flea treatment and all for only 70 euros!
Tipi adopted…
It was nice to see you Faro!
