Zorro

Zorro, a one year old border collie type is a typical one year old boy.  Boisterous, friendly and just right for training (agility ?).  Vaccinated and will be chipped when the right home is found.

Delphine

Delphine is very dear to us here at Poorpaws.  Adopted from us a couple of years ago, Delphine is the mother of my own dear little Eenie who was stolen from me.  I was tempted to keep Delphine but was persuaded to let her go to what was at the time a lovely home.  Sadly, through no fault of her own, Delphine is soon to be homeless again.  About four or five years old, she is sterilised, chipped and vaccinated.

Chelsea

Chelsea was rescued from a refuge by a well meaning English family who now find themselves obliged to return to the UK, dogless.  This means that Chelsea, Zorro and Delphine (see below) are all looking for new homes.  Chelsea is 5 years old, sterilised, chipped and vaccinated.  A truly loving faithful friend Chelsea is nevertheless very timid therefore we would not recommend a home with lively young children.  A nice retired couple is what we are looking for here!

Georgia in her new home

Hallo everyone,  Georgia here.  just look at the lovely me with my new family – aren’t I the lucky one ?  I’m learning to be a very good girl and have my own room to go to when I am tired of playing – well I am still only a baby and there are three of them and only one of me !!

Whoa, hey !  What happened there ??!  I was so looking forward to our few days on Ile de Ré when no sooner had we set off in the car, than it turned into a time machine, kranked forward four days and there we were coming home again !!  Oh but it was lovely.  We took everything the weather could chuck at us, torrential rain, gale force winds and periods of fabulous sunshine long enough to have nice a walk every day.  As I said last month, there is a distinct difference between being in a nice dry house in bad weather, and being in a leaky mobile home.  Sitting by the window in the little house with a good book on my lap (After you’d gone by Maggie O’Farrell) watching the rain lash down was extremely pleasant.  When I first came to France I lived by the sea for many years and didn’t think I would miss it when we moved to the country, but there is something about the salty smell of sea air.

Georgie in her new home

We are DEEEEEELIGHTED to say that Georgia has found a fabulous home – as witnessed by the photo here – and one week later, her sister Gabi was adopted too.  Along with them last month, went Andie, Simba, Porcelaine pup Hercule and………………..Cales, after all this time.  Wonderful !

Kiki

Little Kiki here really deserves loving home.  Rescued once seven years ago when a baby, Kiki has been living with an elderly lady who loves him.  However the lady now has to go to live with her daughter who has two Rottweilers who, although good dogs, scare the living shit out of poor Kiki who has started peeing in the home.  This was not acceptable so the lady has asked me to find him someone nice to take care of him.  He is here at Poorpaws and I can guarantee that the indoor peeing has stopped.  He will have a haircut very soon and lose two tiny family jewels, so may end up being “Keek !!”.  Totally fine with the dogs here and no worries as far as cats are concerned.

Greta

Ok for those of you who love big pups (who will turn into big dogs) here is the gorgeous Greta, as in Garbo, but this one certainly does not ” want to be alone” !!  Greta is just coming up to six months and is a beautiful dog.  Fine with other dogs and cats, very intelligent and faithful.  She really does tick all the boxes -unless you are looking for a lap dog !!

Bloom

Bella at Poorpaws always get lots of “Ooohs” and “Ahhhs” when people come here but she is just not adoptable.  HOWEVER here we have Bloom who looks just like our Bella and is much less complicated – in fact not complicated at all, an absolute darling in fact.  At two years old she is fine with other dogs, nervous of cats – but that would soon pass – and is just GREAT with people loving to be cuddled and fussed (possibly for the first time in her life).  I can tell you from personal experience that this breed of dogs are lovely.

Adopted!

Andie

Poorpaws has a great record for homing older dogs and we’re hoping that this will continue for Andie here.  Andie is ten years old and was at the Narbonne refuge.  Because of severe overcrowding there certain dogs were selected for the big sleep and Andie was one.  Luckily the lovely Rowan at Carcassonne refuge agreed to take the doomed dogs and give them a chance at her refuge even though there are equally desperate dogs there.  I spotted Andie and just couldn’t not try to help.  She has a wonderful nature, gets on with everyone and everything, brilliant on the lead and no hang ups.  She just wants to have a home where she will be loved and happy (don’t we all ?!).  So if there is someone out there has a place for a calm loving oldie, think of me, oops, no sorry, I’m not calm, think rather of Andie.

Gus

Here we see Gus (previously Gaston) obviously trying to make a good impression on his new owners by helping (? !) to clean up the leaves.  He has been warmly welcomed by his new pal Josie and has obviously been lucky enough to land in a place which must be called ‘Happiness’.  Good on you Gus.
