Happy Lola
Lola at the beach
Remember me ? Lola ? Well my life has changed so much I can hardly believe it – just hope I don’t wake up and find it’s all a dream ! From being tied up and muzzled on a balcony, I have been adopted by some lovely, lovely people who adore me – and believe me the feeling is mutual. Here are a couple of photos of my new life. After a wonderful run on the beach and ‘catching’ waves, what’s a girl to do but snuggle up in her new cosy bed. Jealous ? I bet you are !
Elfie
One of our first homings of 2011 was Elfie. A large dog who had been put up for adoption. I’ll bet he was glad he was – just look at these lovely photos. Elfie has acquired a very dignified name – Captain Hastings (!), and a beautiful home to match. Well done you Captain H !

Gypsy
Remember little Gypsy ? Back in April 2011 I was convinced she wouldn’t make it and if she did she would be handicapped. Well just look at the beauty with her little mate in front of the Christmas tree !! In perfect health a lovely and much loved Gypsy/Lola couldn’t be happier.
Gypsy All Grown Up
Jackson
You will have to have been a Poorpaws follower for many years to remember Jackson ! A fabulous hunting type dog mixture who went to a wonderful caring owner with lots of patience – she needed it !! Jackson turned into a great dog even finally accepting cats, as you can see ! Lucky, lucky Jackson.
Gina
Well I don’t think we have to worry about whether or not Gina is happy in her new home !!
Digby
Remember poor Benji ? Tied up 24/7 and walked with a weight round his neck to stop him pulling on the lead ? Well here he is in his new lovely home. Oh, and his name is now Digby, although it should be Riley the life he is now leading !!!!
Wellsley
Just to prove that here at Poorpaws we produce ‘la crème de la crème’, here you see Wellsley, one of Lizzie’s pups, helping her owner with the cryptic clue Times crossword, or perhaps discussing the political situation in outer Mongolia !

Nuff said!
Evie
Remember Evie, the little pup found in Cahors ? It was third time lucky for her when the fist two adoptions didn’t workout and here she is very happily posing - and licking her lips – with other members of the happy Hutt clan.
Remember Diouk -(now Woody) ? He was on the website for such a long time and we were desperately trying to get him out of the ‘no hopers’ bin at Figeac. Well a lovely girl called Rachael took matters into her own hands, went down there, got him out and as soon as he was officially hers, found a wonderful home for him. A real kleenex, sniff, sniff ending !

Just when we thought we couldn't be more happier for Diouk (now Woody) , we received this photo. Guess what, we could be happier !
After several months at Poorpaws, Fuller’s day has finally been made ! He has gone to a very nice couple where he ticked all the boxes – except one. Pizza yawns in the car !! However, his new owners have not given up and there is improvement. Just as well as Fuller’s new life is to include a lot of swanning around in a camping car ! Deep breaths Fuller, you’ll get over it – I did !!
Fuller
After a long wait Elfie has found doggie heaven – or will do when his new owner gets back from a home visit to Norway. It was obviously love at first sight on both sides and we just now Elfie is in for a great life. He deserves it after a rotten start in life. Bursting with affection Elfie will now have his own very special someones to love.
Elfie
Little devil Frannie and Ellie (who was adopted so quickly she hardly had time to turn round let alone get on to the website !) have gone to a great home where Ellie has turned into an obedient shadow and Frannie……………well Frannie is just Frannie !!
Frannie and Ellie
Large timid Wilbur is obviously very much at home with his new friends – and has turned out not to be so timid ! He has settled well with his new patient owners and just has to get over his fear of the car. But I suppose that when living rough he only saw cars as danger. Latest news is that there is improvement and we really appreciate his owners for working with him on this.
Wilbur
Long term regulars to the website may remember Teddy a rough-haired terrier who was so depressed at Carcassonne that he had stopped jumping up when people visited and had given up hope. He came to Poorpaws and I can’t say he was snapped up immediately but was definitely happier and proved to be a lovely dog. Well, the wait was worth it, just look at our boy now (he’s the one without the glasses ).
Teddy
I can honestly say that tissues were needed when I visited and saw how happy and loved he is. Good for you Teddy!
Fulham
Fulham
Remember Fulham, brother of Fuller ? Here he is at last adopted and obviously very happy and, like his brother, enjoying camping car travel. Worth waiting for eh Fulham ?!
Filly
Filly
After a couple of disappointments and health worries Filly has settled into her great new home with lovely couple who were anxious to take her even if there were health problems. Happily Filly is now very well and proving to be a very intelligent adorable dog who has the ability to charm everyone who meets her. A real Poorpaws star !
Bracken
Remember Bracken ? A beautiful Brittany Spaniel who found himself homeless after “it’s me or the dog” marital squabble. (Personally there would have been no contest had it been me – the dog would have won hands – or paws – down !) Anyhow, Bracken struck gold and went to a fabulous home where his new owners invest a great deal of time in him, introducing him to agility which he adores. Here he is with his trophies and we are delighted to report that he has a lovely new adopted sister who is following in his pawsteps !
A lovely family came to see Babouchka but for some reason she was in Ice Queen mood and blew her chances. Enter Pumpkin who came out of the park like a bullet out of a gun with “TAKE ME, TAKE ME” written across her lovely soppy face ! It worked and she is now in a lovely home playing with Lucy and Megan – when she hasn’t got her head in the bird food drum or dustbin !
Darling Pumpkin has turned out to be a rather large devil but is totally loved by her new family. Here she is with just one of her three new siblings
Ronnie Sleeping
Ronnie (Barker !!) was a right ragamuffin when he arrived at Carcassonne but he ‘scrubbed up well’ and was adopted shortly after arriving at Poorpaws. Sadly that didn’t work out (Ronnie didn’t like sharing with his new Westie brother – silly boy Ronnie !) so back he came and was soon travelling up to a lovely lady where he now has all four paws under the table and lives the life of Riley.
