Rob Roy Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I was looking at their website and noticed that they state you must live in the department in order to adopt from them. Other SPA sites don't seem to have this stipulation, anyone know why Bordeaux do? P.S. They have a dog I rather like the look of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It's probably for the follow-up. They don't want the dog to be miles away in case anything negative happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks, Christine. We are only a couple of hours from Bordeaux and much further from other SPAs that would allow adoption,shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jouals Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I can't see why any good refuge would limit where dogs are homed to, as long as they can do good checks and feel confident about new homes, and be able to follow up. We have had some very successful long distance adoptions.Are you nearer to Cahors Rob Roy? http//www.refugecaninlotois.wordpressJouals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 I agree Jouals; I was quite surprised at their stipulation as I've been looked at many SPA sites. Cahors and Brodeaux are probably a similar distance (we live between Limoges and Brive).However, today we went and adopted a puppy from Clermont Ferrand - dad is beautiful deep golden Labrador and mum is ?Brittany Spaniel, plus 6 puppies, were abandoned in a disused house to fend for themselves. Apparently the puppies did not have have a lot longer to survive without food.May I present Cracker:[IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Bouillaguet/Cracker/DSCF5553_zps7d0efa52.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitway Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ah what a sweaty!!I'm not sure if this will be of any use to members in the future there is facebook group that is trying to coordinate a network to make out of area adoptions easier. They will happily talk to the refuges concerned to see if an adoption is possible, whether a centre like Bordeaux is prepared to be flexible with their policies who knows!https://www.facebook.com/groups/pawsfrance/ Diane Brown will speak to a SPA on your behalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 A very good idea Pitway.Cracker is being such a good boy. He settled well last night in his bed (after about 10 mins when I sat in the dark with him) cuddled up to a well wrapped up hot water bottle, as a substitute for mum and siblings, and we heard no more until 8.00 am today! One heap and a puddle on the spread out newspaper, then lots of help as I tried to clear it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jouals Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Bravo Roby Roy! What a lucky pup. Good luck with him, I am sure he will settle in fine. By the way, the Refuge in Cahors can often organise help with transport arrangements to home dogs with new families who are further away.Happy New Year!Jouals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
