Living in Carcassonne we started to volunteer for the local SPA, who house neglected, lost, abused and unwanted cats and dogs. They do an amazing job and the animals are well looked after. The volunteers walk and clean them and they rely on donations. They never euthenase and their sole aim is to house them with great new owners. We got our lovely Chester from them. They rely on donations and the kennels and site need updating, as well as food, blankets, beds and toys. I am still running and recently did the Carcassonne 10K. I am running the Carcassonne half marathon on June 3rd to try and get £1000 for SPA to continue their work and to spur me round 13 miles!!!
