FEEDBACK FROM THE NEW OWNERS OF CINDY - Adopted May 09

FEEDBACK FROM UGO - Adopted May 09

Hé oui, c'est moi Ugo. Je viens vous donner de mes nouvelles. Comme vous pouvez voir je vais bien.

Je vis à la campagne dans de grands espaces. J'ai couru après quelques lapins de garenne, je m'amuse super bien! J'en profit pour vous présenter mes maitres qui s'occupent bien de moi. Je me

suis fait de nouveaux copains de jeux qui s'appellent Tosca, Bobby, Samba et Dalou.

Je vous envoie toute mon affection de toutou. Bonne continuation à tous au refuge!!

FEEDBACK FROM CASSUS - Adopted 10/08

Bonjour, nous vous donnons des nouvelles de Cassus que nous avons adopté il y a 8 mois. Comme vous pouvez voir sur les photos il n'est pas malheureux et encore moins maigre. Il joue beaucoup

avec nous, se promène souvent et il est pklus que câliner.

Nous ne regrettons toujours pas notre choix de l'avoir adopter, bien au contraire, nous sommes

vraiment content de l'avoir avec nous et il nous le rend bien!

MORE GREAT DOGS ADOPTED - MAY 2009

Chouki, Urbanne, Cindy, Dalie, Ugo & Black !

RECENT ADOPTIONS (05/09)

With the arrival of the sun we've said goodbye to some much loved faces and our very best wishes go with them to their new lives ! Babel, Callie, Bounty, Alix, Starky, Kit, Dina, Vodka plus 4 little pups have all left us within a really short period so thanks to all their respective families.

A successful adoption but way too short! This is a UTAH who led us into our support for the refuge, who won our hearts whilst at the refuge and who at least had a very happy last 18 months with her new family. I'm just so sad we never went to see her settled in - we thought we had all the time in the world. She was only 7 & a half when she died. She ran her heart out in the canicross in 2007 to raise 1200€ for the benefit of all the refuge dogs and was adopted 2 months later after 3ys at the refuge. She features as one of the 3 dogs used in our logo.

The following text & photos have just come in from her family who miss her:

Un petit coucou d'adieu d'une toutounne innoubliable qui n'aura apporter que du bonheur dans notre famille.LA Photo avec le coucher de soleil a été prise quelques jours avant son départ trop rapide.Malheureusement ns n'avons pas pu la sauver d'une tumeur osseuse qui lui a oter la vie en quelques jours.Elle ns manque énormément et les 1 an 1/2 passés à ses cotés seront innoubliables pour nous.PETIT MESSAGE POUR ELLE: UTHA tu auras été un superbe rayon de soleil dans notre maison!!!!!!!!!!! ns ne t'oublierons jamais!!!!!!!!!!!

photos were sent in

by her very happy

new family that

same afternoon!

Sorely missed but

ecstatic for her.

Biscuit - adopté en avril par des biscuitieres!! Maintenant il fait du velo, il se promene et il joue

tous les jours dans son jardin avec sa balle. Il est calme et doux avec tout le monde, même les

chats et son seule default majeur est le fait qu'il monte dans le canapé la nuit!! Il a trouvé son

bonheur .

Meet Tarkan. He came to the refuge when his owner couldn't cope with him in an apartment and though he was adopted a few months later this only lasted about 6 months before he returned. In total this gorgeous dog had spent 3 of his 6 years at the refuge before been adopted by my (Nicci) brother and he now lives a life of doggie luxury spending his weekdays in a small village near Paris and his weekends at his country house.

Meet Vicky. Now also know as 'grosse' having put on just a 'little' bit of weight since her adoption. Luckily for her she had only spent a few months at the refuge and is now a very much loved family pet sharing her home with 2 cats, 2 kids and her owners, Carine and Alain. They met Vicky and decided to adopt her having spent some time walking dogs from the refuge on a volunteer basis. She is now one very happy little dog!

Adopté du refuge en 2003 ce beau chien a la chance de vivre une belle vie avec les gens

qui ont eu le gentilesse et courage de lui sauver. Maintenant il s'appel TOTOU, il apprecie

beaucoup ses promenades et ses vacances dans les Alpes avec ses proprietaires.

Quelle bonheur !!

Meet Belle. Poor Belle had been kept as a breeding machine and then dumped at the refuge! Totally blind and in a sad way she was adopted around 2004 by Virginia who just couldn't walk away and now she leads a very happy life, sharing her home & her owners with another rescue dog 'Foxy'.

Meet Brad. We don't know much about Brads history and lucky for him he was adopted by his new owner, Josiane, soon after arriving at the refuge. Josiane does wonder if he has been beaten at some time as he is very nervous if she picks up a newspaper, deodorant or anything else, however, he is now much loved and happily settled in his new home. His adoption came about in December (08) after Josiane picked up a leaflet promoting our website from the vets in Figeac!!

Meet Daphie

Axelle and Eric were very sad after the accidental death of their last little dog. On seeing DAPHIEs hoto on an advert they fell for her. Her and no other ! They said "her presence has done us the world of good and we have lots of love to give her" . What a lovely story!

Meet Chaupy, now known as 'Ben'

This very sweet natured and affectionate young dog has just (4/09) had the good fortune of been adopted by Roger and Carol who have lots of experience with rescue dogs and who we expect to have

many happy years with a now, very happy dog. Imagine 3 great walks a day after more than a year living penned up 24/7 in not the greatest conditions. He now has a chance to live the life we hope and expect for all our dogs and shares his new home with the existing family pet 'Harry' - and it appears from the photos that they get on pretty well together!

Meet Curtis

Poor Curtis was so timid at the refuge. He would slink around when let out and do his best to avoid

getting caught as this meant imprisonment yet again for who knew how long. He was the only survivor of a litter of 9 from Livernon and after more than a year at the refuge he has found his new family & his new chance at living a very happy life. His fur was so matted and dirty (there have never been the resources to keep the dogs cleaned/groomed at the refuge) that his usually shagginess had to be replaced by a new, svelte clipped look which seems to really suit him. It took him a few days to settle in and start gaining trust and confidence but he appears very content now with Veronique and her family and their 5 cats.
