PANDA – THE GENTLEST OF GIANTS
This poor boy was petrified when he arrived and nearly closed right down. We believe he had an owner as he was well cared for and so shell-shocked when he found himself at the pound. He is starting to come out of his shell now and even approaches doe a stroke. We think that soon, with a bit of encouragement, he will be begging for strokes. You can’t help but fall for him as hes so gentle and absolutely stunning. He’s also fantastic with other dogs. He needs a home where he can settle in his own time, with other dogs, and a family experienced with large and timid dogs. Preferably in a rural area.
Panda is available for adoption in the UK. Homecheck and adoption fee apply. Adoption fee includes neutering, passport, microchip, all vaccinations, blood tests to screen for diseases, worm and flea treatment. Adoption cost in Spain (if no transport required) 155€ for males and €165 for females. Adoption costs to the UK £520, this includes all DEFRA paperwork and transport by DEFRA registered carrier(using the TRACES system) by road direct to your door. We sort all the arrangements for you. For dogs brought to the UK by SSDUK to go on foster, adopters will still be required to pay the full adoption fee of £520 to cover the above expenses.
In some cases, for example a failed adoption of a dog already in the UK, the fee may be reduced to £320 where the initial transport costs from Spain have already been met. This is to cover transport within the UK, kennel fees and any checks required. If the cost of transport exceeds £320 you may be asked to give an amount towards this.
