Yesterday I took some photos of a dog who had no album on Facebook. He had been at the refuge for nearly a week, so hopes of finding his owner were fading (he was not identified). He was a hairy scruffy looking mix, and after a few minutes of deliberation we decided to call him “Mop”, as we already had a “Swiffer” at the SPA.
Anyway, today he was reunited with his owner. No, not thanks to Facebook; just coincidentally his owner came to see if his boy had been found. He had phoned up yesterday, but was unable to describe his dog, so Carole said the best thing would be to come along and have a look. If only he had said “My dog looks like a floor cloth”, we could have told him that his dog was safe and sound!
In any case, “Mop” has now left, complete with microchip!
And lovely Milana left today. This beautiful border collie was found at the toll station at Carcassonne East and brought to the refuge. Initially terrified (well, what dog wouldn’t be, having been dodging cars then brought to a busy and loud dog refuge), Milana soon settled in thanks to sharing her box with Balthazar, who is a more confident dog. We soon had her running round and making friends. She then caught the eye of one of our volunteers, Isabelle, and today, after being sterilised, Milana left for her new life.
News will follow, for sure, along with pictures of Milana without bars in front of her!
Two new dogs arrived which isn’t good, but for now we seem to be holding our own. Be nice to get some of the long-term residents and oldies out before winter arrives, though…..
And Milana leaves with volunteer Isabelle
Happy day for Milana. Glad she is happily rehomed. She took my eye. I might have had to come and get her 😀
