Everyone was delighted when puppy Mae left for her new home on Thursday. Or rather almost everyone. Maggie, who arrived with Mae and had shared her kennel at the refuge, was distinctly unimpressed. She was unhappy on her walk and kept looking back to try and find her “sister”. I am sure the last couple of days have been hard for her, but all that was forgotten today, when she left for her new home.
It is often hard to separate dogs who arrive together, but it is very rare for two dogs to be adopted as a pair. And quite often it is not the best thing for the dogs either. However in an ideal world, the dog who is left behind does not have long to wait before finding a new home. Such was the case with Maggie and we are delighted for her. It looks like she has a wonderful life ahead of her. Many thanks to her new family for offering this lovely girl a home.
That was not the day’s only adoption, either. A young woman arrived looking for a new friend for her 7 month old malinois, Oslo. Her eyes fell on Lagagne, and off they went for a walk. That was without her own dog, so as usual the next step was to come back and introduce the two dogs. We expected this to happen tomorrow, or early next week perhaps, but no, about an hour later she was back with beautiful Oslo. She didn’t want Lagagne to spend a moment more in the refuge if possible. And lo and behold, the two dogs got on like a house on fire.
Lagagne was brought in for rehoming in early October due to a divorce, but it looks like it was the best thing that could have happened to him. He is a fabulous little dog who is only just a year old and now has the life he deserves! Once again many thanks to his new owner.
We are hoping for some more good news tomorrow, when the refuge will be open as usual from 14H00-18H00. There is still time to make a dog (or cat) happy this Christmas, either by offering him or her a new home, or maybe buying a Christmas bauble full of treats to share…..
