Chipolata, above - full of mischief and always playing

You can read the history of these puppies in the entry called the Plastic Bag Puppies. If you feel you could give one of these gorgeous puppies a good home, please call Nicky at the number shown on the right.

Camelia, above - she loves being around her brothers and sisters *ADOPTED!*

Crocus, above - independant (you can read his particular history in the earlier posting about these pups who were put in a plastic bag to die).

Cosette, above - at three weeks she had a cold and was really quite ill - and so went everywhere with Nicky in a shoebox. She is completely better and very attached to human company. *ADOPTED!*

Carotte, above - very cuddly *ADOPTED!*

Puppies - Comete, Caviar, Candy, Cognac, Chutney

Chutney, above - a real pickle, the first to escape from anywhere and always on the go - consequently slightly slimmer than the others. *ADOPTED!*

These are four of the Plastic Bag puppies now ready to go - see earlier posting. Please call Nicky at the refuge if you feel you could give one of these gorgeous puppies a home.

Comete, above - she's always playful, jumping on other puppies and trying to eat Nicky's shoelaces. *ADOPTED!*

Caviar, above - the larger pup, a big ball of fluff and always the last to be caught to go back to bed! *ADOPTED!*

Candy, above - almost identical to Camelia but more independant and fluffier.

Cognac, above - independant, likes playing with older dogs and exploring.

The plastic bag puppies

These puppies were photographed at approximately 4 weeks. They are now around 6 weeks of age and will soon be looking for new homes. They were unwanted and had been put in a plastic bag in the garage to die. 24 hours later the woman who put them there found them still alive, so she went to the chemist to buy ether to kill them. Fortunately someone who knew the Refuge de Flassans heard the pups crying, and persuaded the woman to take them to the refuge. Two were dead in the bag but at present the other ten are doing really well.

One of the puppies, now called Crocus, was mauled by his mother before being put in the plastic bag. He arrived at the refuge with a bad bite wound in his leg. He also had the onset of an infection in the umbilical cord. When the pups arrived, they'd been in the bag over 24 hour and it took Nicky (who runs Flassans refuge) another 16 hours before she could get Crocus to drink anything, but once he started, he got going well. You'll find a photo below of Crocus drinking milk from a bowl. He is no longer the smallest of the litter and has been very healthy since his appalling beginning - obviously a real fighter for his life. Nicky says he's now the first to come to the front when she arrives.

The little one lying down - photo below - is Cognac who is now the smallest of the litter but very healthy too.

If you feel you could give a home to one of these puppies - please contact Nicky direct at the refuge - 06 86 35 93 83.

6 beautiful puppies for adoption!

CALINE - available for adoption *ADOPTED!*

These 6 puppies (an unwanted litter) were taken in by Le Refuge de Flassans, properly cared for and socialised and will be available for adoption in one week's time when they've been vaccinated and identified. Their mother is a Beauceron x Beagle and the father is a Labrador x Braque. You can see how some have picked up one or other parents' characteristics. If you feel you could give one of these beautiful and properly reared puppies a good home, please call Nicky direct. She is in charge of the refuge and has been caring for them. Nicky - 06 86 35 93 83. Speaks English and French. (All six puppies have now been adopted).

There are also 10 hunting dog cross puppies at the refuge - one-week old. They were unwanted and had been put in a plastic bag in the garage to die. 24 hours later the woman who put them there found them still alive, so she went to the chemist to buy ether to kill them. Fortunately someone who knew the Refuge de Flassans heard the pups and persuaded the woman to take them to the refuge. Two were dead in the bag but at present the other ten are doing well. Photos will be available when they are older.

Cassie - Mix - *ADOPTED!*

Cassie is 7 weeks of age. She's a lovely mixture of breeds, perhaps some braque and some berger in her. She's adorable and Nicky who cares for her says she has a very sweet temperament and she doesn't think she'll get bigger than a medium sized dog but obviously no guarantees. She's great fun and never keeps still, hence the photographs - as Nicky says - not being very good. Are you looking for a puppy? Look no further! Call Nicky and arrange to go see her. *ADOPTED!*
