Our Furry Friends

Asso En Route Giving rescue dogs their best lives

Well ok, that may be a slight exaggeration, but our aim is to get every abandoned dog into a warm, soft bed with someone who will love them.

That can be the hardest, most emotional, time sapping journey, but nothing beats the feeling of seeing a dog blossom in a loving home that we’ve helped to find. In recent months especially, we’ve dealt with a lot of situations where a dog owner can no longer care for their much loved companion.

You may have seen our appeal for Loola in last month’s edition. She was living home alone with family friends feeding her once a day but with very little human contact following the death of her owner. We took her for a little walk where it became obvious Loola was exactly as described, the two bonded, and Ann was happy to take Loola home on a trial where she has settled in to her new life as if she’s always been there. Rather than spending almost twenty four hours a day alone, Loola now has her very own person, doggy playdates and as much love as she wants.

Ann had seen Loola’s appeal and was very keen to meet her. At that point we only had the information provided by the previous family, so didn’t know how accurate it was. On meeting, she was initially a little growly and unsure, but quickly relaxed and expressed her acceptance by rolling over for a belly rub. Not every situation is as smooth as finding Loola her best life, but with your help we can help more dogs. Fostering enables us to learn so much about them and we always need foster families to move a dog out of the cold and in to a warm bed. If you’re interested in learning more, whether you’re available all of the time or only for short periods, please get in touch via email in the first instance at henri@assoenroute.com. NB We’re especially keen to hear from you if you’re interested and have a cat free home.
