Our Furry Friends A few words from ... Association En Route Association En Route has only been running for 2 years and in that time it has rescued/rehomed 125 dogs. The greatest expense incurred by far is Vet fees, which in this very difficult year alone (up to October) were 12,798€. We are a very small association with people experienced in dog management and others who will assist in fundraising activities. We are always looking for volunteers, especially those willing to foster. Fosterers are very special people! They enable a dog to be taken out of the pound, rehomed for a short time until adopted. Fosterers also give the association an idea of how the dog behaves - what its likes/dislikes are - whether it likes dogs/cats etc; how it behaves in the house - on a lead - what it likes to eat. But this takes time and patience and all depends how long the animal has been in the ‘pound’ and what its life has been before! This is such an important part of the dog’s rehabilitation and enables the association to rehome the animal appropriately. Prospective adopters also must realise that it will take several months for a traumatised animal to settle fully into their new home and must be prepared for the odd “bump in the road”, EnRoute continue to support their adopters for as long as necessary - you are not on you own. Just to be clear fosterers and adopters can be anywhere in Deux-Sèvres. EnRoute is based at St Soline, but dogs travel all over Deux-Sèvres and sometimes out of it! As Christmas approaches and the World is still in turmoil, Ark79 have invited various animal charities to have a stall there. The dates for our stall are Tuesday 24th November, Saturday 28th November and Tuesday 1st December - all from 10.00-14:00. You will need to book a slot with Ark79 and observe Covid rules i.e. a mask to be worn at all times on the property except when you are eating and drinking. Please come along and see us - have a natter if you feel you could support us in any way. Thank you
Rudy This gorgeous face of experience belongs to Rudy who is twelve years old and who hasn’t seen many home comforts in his life. That’s all changed now that he’s in foster, but we need to find a lifetime foster for him. This means he will live out his days with you, but that En Route will pay for any vet care he needs. Do you have a space by your fire for this lovely oldie? If you do, please get in touch.
