VOXY  -  N° ID   2DWG089

A 5 year old male collie cross

 

Voxi is a very goodlooking dog and came to the refuge having

been found in town with 3 broken ribs.

He gets on well with other dogs and is very nice natured.

As he is one of the many dogs we don't get a chance to excersise

I don't have much more to write about him at this stage except to

say come & see him and get to know him as he shouldn't be here!

 

 

VIPER  -  N° ID  2ELT795

A 5 year old male cross

 

Poor Viper was only 2 years old when he arrived at the refuge 3 

years ago having been found in the ALDI parking filthy dirty & 

covered in mange.

He is of medium build and as he's pretty active he needs some

space. 

 

 

UBA  -  N° ID 2DNK363

A 6 year old female Dalmatian cross Collie

 

Uba is a sweet & submissive dog which is just as well as her

kennel mates bully her mercilessly.

She has spent 5 of her 6 year life at the refuge having been

dumped in a rubbish bin, thrown out like the rubbish!

She looks shyer in the photo than she actually is as the other

dogs were stopping her approaching me when I was taking the

pictures. 

 

SAMI  -  N° ID 250269500187639

An 8 year old male Pointer/Braque cross 

 

Sami is a nice, clean looking dog with a dignified look about him.  He reminds me of 'UGO' who has just been adopted and who was one of my favourites!

After 4 years behing bars with little or nothing in the way of creature comforts I think it's time he was rehomed.

Come and see him for yourself.

 

TOBY  -  N° ID 250269800891298

A 7 year old male boxer cross

 

What a handsome boy!  Can you imagine why anyone would

just abandone a great dog like him?

A little overweight what he really needs is a good home with a

regular diet and very regular excersise.

He is a very easy dog and gets on well with others.

 

UKY  -  N° ID 2ELT797

A 6 year old male labrador cross

 

As Uky was found and bought to the refuge we don't know his

origins but he has now spent almost 4 years at the refuge.

He is sweet and just waiting the right family. 

Uky is one of our 'lost' dogs - hidden away in one of the larger pens right at the bottom of the refuge. 

These dogs never get walked and probably enjoy 15 minutes a day of human company whilst getting fed & cleaned out!  What a life.                                                                                 

 

 

VENUS  -  2EHJ589

A 5 year old female border collie

 

Venus/aka URGGA is a sweet dog who just feels stressed at the

life she is forced to lead, locked away all the time.

She came to the refuge 3 years ago after having been abandoned

by her  owners.     

Another dog that gets forgotten about - lost amidst the 100 or more other dogs all desperately seeking homes.   

 

TWIST  -  N° ID 250269800253176

A 7 year old male german shepherd cross

 

What a lovely dog!  He looks older than his years and his face

bears a few little battle scars where he's been picked on from

time to time by various kennel mates.

Twist is calm, sweet natured and just wants a good home.

He has spent 6 of his 7 years at the refuge so really deserves to leave for a better life and would be a very rewarding companion!

 

TOPPS  -  N° ID  2C55959

A 7 year old male 'Braque d'Auvergne

 

Topps has been kennel mates with Twist for a fair while now

but he'll be happy to say goodbye to his old friend if it means

a happier, more comfortable life!

As with all of his fellow inmates all he asks is kindness, affection,

food and excercise . 

He arrived at 8 months old having been found in figeac so yet another great dog that deserves better than this!

He is very nice, gets on well with others has some energy to burn off.

 

UPIE  -  N° ID 2DKC663

A 6 year old female Griffon cross

 

Upie & her 2 brothers have spent all their lives at the refuge having been abandoned there as an unwanted litter 6 year ago.

Others in their litter were found homes but Upie has not been one of the lucky ones!

She doesn't look her best as she's probably never been groomed in her life but cleaned up and loved she would make a really nice pet.

 

ORION  -  N° ID  250269800891102

An 11 year old male 'Griffon Blue' 

 

This really sweet dog was abandoned at least 4 years ago and has been at the refuge ever since.

The likelyhood is that he was no good at hunting which is the usual reason the hunters dump them.

He recently was used as a blood donor and helped save the life of another dog from the refuge which must surely deserve the reward of a nice new home!!

 

ALY  -  N° ID 2FDB644

A 4 year old male pointer cross

 

Aly is a calm & gentle dog who was bought into the refuge 3 years ago having been abandoned down by the riverside in Figeac.

He is a handsome dog who tries desperately to get your attention, begging for his chance at getting a good home!

No problems getting on with other dogs.

                                                                                                              

 

 

VENUS  -  N° ID 250269500218766

A 5 year old female labrador cross

 

Venus doesn't push herself forward!  Perhaps overshadowed by her more boisterous & noisy kennel mates.

She was found attached to the gates of the refuge.  A typical occurence by cowardly owners who can't face justifying their actions!!  Could you give her a chance at a happier life? 

 

SULTAN  -  N° ID 250269500160474

An 8 year old hunting dog

 

Sultan is very calm and sweet and gets on well with all

other dogs.

He was found and bought to the refuge 8 years ago - a lifetime ago in his case !

Have you a good home for this gentle dog?                                                                                                             

 

BAMBOO  -  N° ID 250269800959879

A 3 year old male Griffon cross

 

This handsome & goodnatured dog would love a good home!

He is calm, very sweet and gets on well with other dogs of both sexes.

Sizewise he is the larger side of medium but as we all know, bigger dogs sometimes take up a lot less room than the little terrier types !

ULAC  -  N° ID 2CUV858  

A 5 year old male Basset Hound

 

Poor Ulac has never lead a normal life as he was abandoned at the refuge with his brothers & sisters when they were pups.  Their mum was dumped with them and Ulac was the only one never adopted.

He has lived his whole life at the refuge but don't assume that makes it difficult to introduce them into your home environment as dogs are amazingly adaoptable ! We have seen dogs adapt after 11 years locked away in a pen.

 

 

PERGUY  -  N° ID 250268500001961

A 3 Year old female 'Ariageois' cross

 

Perguy !  We don't have much of a story to tell here. 

The important thing is that she is a very sweet dog and a pretty example of a hunting dog.

Very nice natured and she gets on with other dogs.

UGO  -  N° ID 250269800706266

A 6 year old male Border Collie cross

 

Ugo stands tall with wiry looking fur and always looks very proud and handsome.

He was abandoned then adopted about 2 years ago by owners that didn't look after him and just left him outside in an unfenced garden to his own devises with the result that he kept running off.

All dogs need to be kept an eye on and need attention and company.  He is a nice dog but we don't know what he's like with children.

 

ANDY  -  N° ID 2FFB843

A 4 year old male 'Labris' cross

 

Andy is a very unusual looking dog and reminds me of one of the muppets!  He is really eye catching and size wise is medium/large.

He has lived 2 of his 4 years at the refuge after been found on the side of the road with 3 broken legs after been thrown out of a moving car.  Luckily he has healed perfectly and why he doesn't hold a grudge against us humans I really don't know!!!

BILBO  -  N° ID 250269800959874

a 3yr old male Griffon

This scruffy coated young dog has lived the whole of his 3 years at the refuge!  He was found abandoned somewhere, bought to the refuge where he has just got lost amongst the crowd.

He is very nice natured and gets on well with all other dogs.

He is medium sized and I'm sure would be very appreciative of a decent home.

COLL - No ID 250269500218636

A two year old male Collie cross Setter

Coll is a great dog who is very beautiful, very affectionate, highly

intelligent and seeking a good home with plenty of space.

He needs someone with a very firm, but kind, hand as he is dominant and has to understand his place in the pack.

Once the pecking order is established you'll end up with a dog that gets on well with other dogs, that walks well on the lead but

who for now has a nasty habit of chasing cars/bikes which dog trainers say can be resolved if you have the time, patience and knowledge to do so.  Preferably no small children due to his dominant character!

 

                             

 

ULMER - No ID 2DKC664

A 5 year old male Springer Spaniel cross Griffon

 

Though Ulmer is a hunting breed he would make a very good pet but these dogs don't cohabite very well with other dogs so he would be better off as the only dog in a new home.

He came to the refuge with his mother when he was just 2 months old so has lived there all his life - 5 years!

He has been neutered already.

 

UTAH - No ID 2CLB269

A 5 year old female Epagnol Breton

 

Utah (also known as Tess) is a hunting dog but would make a great family pet as do her breed generally.

She hasn't been at the refuge too long as she only arrived in July this year (2008) but as with all our dogs the sooner we can rehome her the better for her.

Ths picture does make her look as though she has a slight snarl on her face but this is not at all the case!

 

DRAKE - No ID 250269500187727

A 9 month old male Labrador cross

 

What a lovely young dog!  He has been at the refuge since been abandoned as a very young puppy so has never known a home of his own.

Very friendly and affectionate he would be a great pet.

Drake has not been neutered.

 

SLIM  -  N° ID 2BPT232

An 8 year old male lab/retriever cross

 

Slim has spent 7 and a half years, almost all his life, at the

refuge!

He was found caught by his rear foot in a trap made from

bike brake cables and had to have some of his toes

amputated as a result.

He's a lively, bright dog and not too big!

 

TRACY  -  N° ID 250269700059194

6 and a half year old female fox terrier 

  

Tracy is very sweet and no trouble at all to have around as long as you don't have any cats!

She doesn't really like them and whilst she gets on with most other dogs she can be fussy/choosy about who she befriends.  

She was found and bought to the refuge 2.5yrs ago so she should be moving on now - she's more than served her time!                                

 

CASSIS  -  N° ID 250269500221349

An almost 2 year old male Black Labrador cross

 

We don't know very much about his past as Cassis was just found and bought to the refuge when he was very young.

He is a very nice dog and gets on well with other dogs.

Sorry about the photo but in all of his pictures any facial features are lost in the darkness of his coat!

 

ABYSS  -  N° ID 2FWL221

A 4 year old female Border Collie cross

 

Abyss has only been at the refuge a year so is not

considered one of our longterm 'inmates'!

She was found either lost or abandoned in Figeac and

has never been claimed.

She gets on well with other dogs and is very good & nice.                                         

ALZAN  -  N° ID 250269800943234

A 4 year old male Berger A Boyer

SYROS  -  N° ID 2EBK801

An 8 year old male Border Collie cross Braque

 

Syros looks pretty young for his age but is 8 years old and has acutually spent 7 years of that time looked up at  the refuge - for what crime?

It is time for this very nice dog to move on and away to a better life.           

 

 

 

BROWNIE - N° ID 250269500221393

A 2 year old male Griffon C

 

Brownie seems none the worse for his poor start in life!  He was left attached to the gates of the refuge, dumped as he was ill and whoever had had him (thought to be the gypsys) didn't want to or couldn't deal with him. His mouth was full of abscesses and he was a real mess but now, having been well cared for and well fed, he would make a good hunting dog or companion.

Very handsome, very friendly and full of life!

BETTY - N° ID 2FHF355

Female 2 & a 1/2 years old - Griffon cross

We've only just discovered Betty, hidden down amongst all the hunting dogs and other longterm inmates! She is adorable!  Shy but really affectionate and she won't leave your side.  She will stick by your side even off the lead so if the idea of adopting a 'hunting breed' worries you then don't worry here as she won't hunt!

DJASON - N° ID 250269500247

18 month old male Dogue/Labrador cross - NEUTEURED

 

DJASON is an adorable dog, very sweet and affectionate.  He has only recently left a loving family environment and his owners were distraught at having to give him up but had no choice as he wouldn't settle in with their horses, had been kicked badly twice and had then started biting them.  So NO HORSES!!

He is very calm, well trained and intelligent.  He gets on well with other dogs and loves kids.

He is too good to stay here long and deserves better so hurry - come and meet him!

                 ADOPTED ADOPTED ADOPTED

 

ELTON - N° ID 250269500282876

A Berger cross - male of 6 months

 

Elton hasn't been at the refuge long and is a lovely baby, playful and dynamique like most pups.  He is very docile and gets on well with other dogs.

It is so important that pups leave the refuge as quickly as possible and life here is hard for them with barely any walks, no comforts and not much love (due to lack of time and people).

He hasn't a clue why he is here!  Locked up in a stressful environment.  

Come and se him, take him for a walk and let him charm you!  

 

 

 

TEQUILA - N° ID 250269200170043

A 12 month old female Beuceron cross

 

Yet another victim of a house move!  They move house, take their furniture but leave their dog - unbelievable!

TEQUILA is very cute, very sweet and affectionate though still a little bit scared at having been dumped in such a stressful place.  She hasn't a clue what has happened and why she's here!  Why her 2 legged best friends have just left her.

She comes well on command, she's pretty calm and loves been stroked and loved.

 

 

 

DARIUS - N° ID 250269500187723

Labrador cross - 18 month old male

Having arrived at the refuge aged 2 months only this big, beautiful dog should have left for a new and better life ages ago.

All his brothers and sisters left but poor Darius never had a chance.

All he wants is fun, games, walks and love and the refuge is really not the place for him!

 

 

 

PETER - N° ID ZAV342

10 year old male labrador 

What a love of a dog! He is big and kind and loves everyone and everything and is always in good spirits.

A little overweight but what do you expect for a 10 year old dog who never gets any exercise and eats food that is really not the best for him!

You could give him a better end in life, he would love you, protect you and would lose some excess weight whilst walking with you daily.

 

ROXANE - N° ID 2FFB849

An 8 year old Border Terrier cross

Over a year ago Roxanne left the refuge to live with a lovely old lady, unfortunately, the old lady has died, her family want nothing to do with their relatives faithful friend and have dumped poor Roxane back with us!  Same old story.

She is a lovely dog, obedient, sweet and full of love.

Poor thing probably doesn't even realise that her mistresse will never come back for her!

                                                                                        

 

ZOE - N° ID 967000000911166

A 2 year old, longhaired femaleTeckel

Pretty Zoe - lively, playful and talkative...

ZOE is a real little "lady", gracious, intelligent, full of charm but careful !  ZOE, like all teckels, has character! Like most little dogs she will be very protective of her own 'space' be that a car , garden or home.

She is not at all agressive but to see her throwing herself at the window can look off putting!

She will make a very loving and loyal compagnion as she is very affectionate and will love her owners unreservadly.

She gets on well with other dogs but will need a well fenced in garden.
