Such joyful news - Adyn is HOME!!!

Adyn: the familiar photo, always at the back of the queue

Adyn was found in a very dirty, filthy and dangerous area in Tarifa, where dogs are treated like dirt, pelted with stones, get no food or care. Adyn, together with a few friends, formed a pack to try to keep safe, but they couldn't hold out long with these harsh living conditions - he is the only survivor of this little family. Once with us, he turned out to be a very sweet, cheerful and playful dog. And he was with us way too long. We can never explain why some dogs, like this lovely chap, get overlooked.

Whenever you clicked on 'Dogs for Adoption' on the website, Adyn was always there. Always the first dog - unless sometimes they reversed it and Adyn appeared last. Whichever way it was, the truth remained. Dear, lovely Adyn had been on the website the longest of all the dogs. He was barely one year old when he came to us on 1st April 2009. Now he's seven and has been with us for just over six years. But now all that has changed.

Adyn is home!!!

First a happy foster, and how a forever home!

In 2013 Adyn left the Refugio and went to a lovely foster home in the Netherlands, where he was given the name Sammie. His foster family found him to be as sweet and loyal as we had. Great with other dogs, good with cats - and with his confidence growing all the time.

And now!  Now Adyn is home. Looking on the ACE website last night, scrolling down through the stories, what did I see among a group of dogs who had just been adopted? Adyn. I could hardly believe it, but it's true. His adopter says he's settling in well and she is sending pictures to ACE. Watch out for them, as I will post them as soon as I get them. I'm not sure what name he will have, but for me he will always be Adyn, the first dog!

Here is the latest post I wrote, highlighting Aydn and some of his other long-staying friends. It's so wonderful that Adyn has found his golden basket. His friends Sereno, Seti, Oca, Pato, Ale and Feria are still looking for theirs. Can you help?
