Update
hi Val
quick message to let you know that we have almost definitely found a new family for Mocha - funny story, a couple of americans who have just bought and moved into a house in Cordes... their own dog died a couple of months before they got here... they met Dominique who was walking Mocha and talked and immediately connected with Mocha... they then looked at the ID tag on her collar and saw that she (and her deceased owner Andreas, a really lovely man) lived in the same street in Berkeley CA as the school at which their daughter teaches... strange coincidence !! so once we've checked with Andreas's family, it's fairly definite that they will keep her... so a happy ending...
many thanks, hope you didn't spend time on sending out the info !!!
yours in haste, with love

ocha is about five years old and belonged to a gentleman who'd come to settle in Cordes only a month ago... he sadly passed away suddenly and neighbours are currently looking after her until a permanent adoption can be found...
Mocha originally came from the US and was in a dog shelter in California when her owner adopted her about 3 or 4 years ago and recently brought her to France... he himself was Swiss German, so she understands English and German...
she is wary of strangers but once trust has been established, she is sweet and gentle... she enjoys her daily walks and a good tummy rub and slept next to her master on the bed...
so she needs a kind and loving home with plenty of attention and of course regular exercise...
if interested please call Dominique on 06 47 64 87 65 or Lucie 06 28 75 28 75
NB the authorities are currently tracing the owner's family in Switzerland and there is a (remote?) possibility that they might wish to keep her... however, since we neighbours sadly cannot keep the dog for long, we wanted to send out the message to possible adopters without further delay...
