Category: Adoptions

Shannon a two year old Malinoise (not the Mum of the pups) has come to us for adoption and she is a pearl. Faithful, obediant and very gentle. Gorgeous, gorgeous girl. Shannon has just come on heat (8/11) so cannot be adopted until she is sterilised in three weeks time.

Urbin is a nine month energetic young lad who needs a little more education but is keen to learn and please. A sort of Berger mix, we think he will be perhaps on the bigger side of medium and ideal for an active couple or family with older children (because he might be a bit ‘over the top’ for young ones) who will give him the excercise and love enough to turn him into a brilliant dog pal. Adoption fee applies.

Update 30 May. Udgy and Ully have now been waiting almost six months for new homes, which is very unusual for small dogs. They have come on leaps and bounds since being with Danielle, Ully being very friendy and easy, whilst Udgy is the same but a little more wary of men.

Udgy and Ully are two eight month Welsh Corgi mixes rescued from Roumania. They are very shy and a couple of visits to La Mere aux Betes in Castelnau Montratier would be essential to make friends with either of these two girls. Onec they are used to you they will show their love. A home without children is recommended. Heaven knows what they have been through before arriving here. The girls can be adopted separately and would probably benefit from that. Adoption fee applies.

Please note that Danielle will not normally take dogs rescued from abroad, this was totally a one off.

UPDATE 22/10/24 This lovely boy has been patiently waiting at the refuge for just about a year now. He sees other dogs come in after him and go out befor and just cannot understand why. Is he not handsome enough ? Err, noooo ! He is gorgeous. It is my birthday next month and what a fab present it would be to see him off to a happy home.

Fabulous Takar is an 11 month Shepherd/Dalmation (I kid you not !) mix. He is a lovely boy, ok with other dogs, cats, children and is just in need of a little more education. Takar has lived inside and outside and would need a home preferably with a closed in garden and where he would not be left alone. A great dog for a family who are willing to help him in his aim to be the best ! Chipped vaccinated and neutered, adoption fee applies.

Please note that Poorpaws, being full of unhomed dogs, has joined forces with La Mere aux Betes, a private refuge run by Danielle Diczy and situated in Castelnau Montratier, Lot. Danielle’s experience with, and knowledge of, all kinds of animals, their care and education, is phenominal. Danielle has closed her website page, transferred to doing everything on facebook and all dogs wanting to come into Poorpaws will go to La Mere aux Betes. I will continue to post the dogs on the Poorpaws adoption page, but you may like also to get all the latest news from Danielle’s Facebook page.

 

My friend Rowan who is the President of the SPA at Carcassonne, received this ‘letter’ from a lovely lady who had recently lost a much loved dog who had been rescued from the refuge.  Many people say to me when their dog dies, that they could never have another as they cannot stand the pain when the dog goes.  Read this Last Will from a dying dog and once you have put the tissues away, open your heart and home to a rescue dog.
