LATEST UPDATE: We thought we had good news for everyone when someone came forward to adopt Sissou, sadly though it was short lived as Sissou killed a ferral cat and was almost taken to be put down!  This just can’t happen to such a lovely dog.

I don’t condone killing cats or dogs, Sissou reacted the way she did because of her past history, and yes she could kill a cat again if the opportunity arose, but then so could most dogs unless they are trained otherwise.

I have had the good fortune to meet Sissou and spend some time with her, she is the most gentle of dogs, easy to get on with, likes others of her own kind. Doesn’t bark, is clean in the house, travels well in a car, in fact apart from hating cats, she is the perfect companion. 

Taking on rescue dogs requires common sense, with Sissou a properly enclosed garden and walks only on a lead. In return you will have a lovely dog who will be excellent company. NO, Sissou is not going to be destroyed, we are hoping very much that someone else will see in her what we do, and give her a happy home for the remainder of her days.

Sissou is currently behind bars in a French Pension, they are kind to her but it isn’t home. Please pick up the phone now and contact me if you think you can help her. Siobain 05 49 27 26 20

Sissou is about 8 years old. She is a soft short haired German Shepherd with floppy ears, and was rescued in the South of France as a pup and was adopted by a lady who later contracted Motor Neurons disease.

Sissou is fully vaccinated including Rabies, micro-chipped and sterilised. She is used to living with other dogs but is not very keen on small ones.   Gentle and sweet-natured Sissou is happy with male or female pack members, but she is not good around cats as they are too much fun to chase, but having said that, she has improved on recall and will stop if called.

If you think you could offer her a home, or even just foster her please contact hopeassoc@orange.fr as soon as possible.  Sissou is a lovely dog and deserves to enjoy her remaining years.
