  1. Hi Merlin

    Thanks for your reply (can't see your PM yet though for some reason).  I shall try and find out more and get more photos for you - it would be great if you can help somehow!  Be in touch....

    There is another photo and info about him on the site set up for the Refuge by volunteers:

  2. Anyone interested in this handsome young collie, Mosca!!?  A dog from the Refuge in Cahors, he is currently being fostered by a local vet.  She cannot keep him much longer and he would so love to find a new permanent home (it would be a disaster for him to have to return to the Refuge, which is full to overflowing).  Mosca is just over a year old, vaccinated, micro chipped (250 269 201022236) and neutered.  He is sociable with other dogs, cats and other animals (after an appropriate introduction of course).  Mosca is a lively dog, very intelligent and just waiting for someone to teach him all sorts of things - he would be great at agility!

  3. That's a good bit of progress Merlin!  When you look at the site under the rescue section on the forum - you will see there are also various rescue organisations for cockers - I think one is called Tiny Tears - they might be able to help too.  Seems cockers warrant rescue organisations all of their own - with all the abandoned breeding cockers etc - thanks to people buying puppies from unscrupulous breeders!  Don't get me started! 

    Good luck

  4. Hello all, sorry, just had chance to catch up - thanks for the replies - particularly Amanda.  It would be great if something could be sorted out - your place sounds ideal!  And he would be best placed with someone who has experience of setters.  My friend is French, so I doubt if he has a UK passport - I will check, but if something can be sorted out for him to get one, I would hope some solution could be found. 

    Amanda - I've PMd you - do you speak French?

  5. Can anyone offer handsome Tony a new home??  I am posting his details for a friend.  Her elderly father (87) can no longer cope with caring for dogs and so she is trying every avenue she can to find Tony a new home without having to resort to a refuge.  (She can’t re-home him herself as she already has dogs and cats!).  He is a pedigree Gordon Setter born on 28 April 2002.  He would suit an experienced owner with no children and no cats (he is used to neither), but perhaps another female dog.  He is vaccinated and tattooed.  Tony is in Concots in the Lot, south east of Cahors.

    If anyone needs any further information, let me know.

  6. Hi Merlin

    How is Scramble getting on?  I posted his story on the Brittany Forum and a member has suggested a possibility re his paralysis:

    "I wonder if he was given

    Macadamia nuts as a treat...these can cause paralysis, either temporary

    or permanent.  We discovered this after giving one of our Bretons these

    nuts (only one or two thank God)  He recovered very quickly but it was a

    total mystery to our vet.  It happened a second time and again a very

    rapid recovery.  A little while after these incidents I read about

    macadamia nuts causing paralysis in dogs and made the link....Just a

    thought.....
    "

    A warning to all re Macadamia nuts anyway!

  7. At last!!! - fingers crossed - good news for Castro the beagle.  He has been adopted by a family with 2 children!

    He will live on a farm with 2ha of fenced land, will have a "copine" - a cairn terrier and has already met the family cat without incident!  As long as everything settles down ok, he has landed on his paws!!  His foster mum will be sad to see him go, he has had a wonderful time with her.  But it is a big relief that he has hopefully found a permanent home.
