Dogs waiting for loving families! SPA Bergerac


Recommended Posts

Here are a sample of a few dogs waiting for a loving family to finally notice them.

 

Sorry for the terrible photos. The Bergerac SPA is directly across from the refurbished Intermarché on the Saint Alvere route leading out of Bergerac.

This little guy or girl was very unhappy and stressed. He or she looks very wet and was crying a lot when I was there.

Terrible photos I know and sorry about showing the mess in the cage. But these two were so lovely. They were in the back of the kennels that I almost missed with other dogs of course I couldn't even see. But the little red one was starving for attention he/she just trembled with excitement when I stroked him/her.

Oh My Gosh  !!! How awful and I agree with you Christine, the poor little one in cage  14  it looks so scared. I cannot do anything at present as my old cocker lady is not too brilliant and it would be the wromg time to introduce another dog but how my heart bleeds for them all.

Christine, unfortunately I don't know anything about little 14. I must say there was another adorable little black one right next to this one. I took several photos of poor 14 because he/she was crying so much and was obviously stressed.

I can try to find out more tomorrow if you would like.

Hi Christine, I just spoke to the SPA and little 14 is a little boy. She said he is between two and three years old. She said she knew nothing about him other than he had been abandoned. But he is available for adoption now. There was someone interested in him so she called the person to find out if they were going to adopt him or not before telling me for certain he is available and unfortunately they are not interested.[:(]

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE OFFER A HOME TO THE POOR LITTLE CHAP  IN CAGE 14, UNFORTUNATELY, I AM NOT IN THE POSITION TO OFFER THIS POOR LITTLE MAN A LOVING HOME DUE TO A VERY OLD AND AILING DOG BUT I CANNOT GET HIM OUT OF MY THOUGHTS. HE WAS SO DISTRESSED WHEN WYNOT CALLED AND TOOK THE PHOTOS, CRYING AND OBVIOUSY SO VERY SCARED. THERE MUST BE SOMEONE WHO COULD LOVE THIS POOR LITTLE FELLOW.

I check the forum every night before I go to bed here in the UK and I hold my breath hoping someone has rescued 14, I keep saying I wont look again because its so upsetting, I wish I had already moved to France so I could adopt the poor little thing to play happily with my 2 Bichons. I really hope someone comes along soon, its heartbreaking.

I went to get 'Charlie' as I have temporarily called him this morning and he is adorable.  He is 2-3 years old and a Bichon cross Poodle.  In the car he was perfectly behaved and lay down in the foot well and just went to sleep.  He was not sick or anything which is more than I can say for my own dogs!  He stank a bit when we got him home so he had a hair cut and a bath.  He is very gentle and is playing with my little dogs and has settled down well. 

The first pic is him before his bath and you can see all the hair on his back end was totally matted.  I had to use the clippers on it and so he is a bit shaved around his hind end now

Here he is sitting in my kitchen window after his bath and watching the world go by.

We have all been for a walk this evening after tea and he was very good although we kept him on a very long lead just in case.  He is getting the idea of coming when he is called and loves a cuddle and fuss.

He did bark a bit at my horse but soon got over it.  Tomorrow I will introduce him to the goats/sheep and chickens.

If anyone is interested in rehoming him then we are in Northern Dordogne between Riberac and Perigueux.

Perhaps I should clarify that I have not adopted 'Charlie' myself as I already have 3 dogs rescued from the SPA.  I cant take on a fourth on a full time basis but I do foster whilst dogs find the right person to live with.

I just wanted you all to know that this lovely little dog will make a brilliant pet and if you can or know someone who can give him a loving home then contact me.

Yes, well done for Gail. What a wonderful thing you did by going and getting him out. [kiss][kiss]

He is just the most adorable little thing. If I lived there permanently I would take him in a minute. How can anyone resist that little face and his sweet loving character. Fingers crossed that someone soon will offer this little fellow the loving home he deserves.

Oh Gail thank goodness you came along I can sleep better at night now, I hope a lovely family take him home soon. Like I said earlier if we had sold our house and moved to France already I would love to have him he would get on well with my 2 bichons.

I just thought i'd let you know that a friend pointed us to this website at the weekend. We went over to Bergerac SPA today and adopted the occupant of cage 08. A beautiful (albeit neglected) natured girl who I'm sure will become an important member of our family. Its a shame we couldn't take more but we already have 1 mad hound! [:)] If you are after a dog, I strongly recommend you vist the SPA first. Thanks Shelley and Nads for pointing us here!! [kiss]
