ASTRO – POPULAR POD

Astro is very popular with other dogs as he’s such a sociable chap. He gets on with males and females. He is a confident boy who also likes human cuddles. If you love Podencos, you will love this well balanced boy who would love nice long walks and play time with some sofa time afterwards.

December 2022: Astro went into foster because of the risk of the pound is flooding.

We have received these lovely photos and videos of Astro and the foster family tells us:

Astro is a lovely affectionate dog that is also sociable with other dogs. He was a little shy at first and strange noises startled him. He’s not keen on going down the stairs, but he will go up and down in the lift without a problem.

He had a couple of toilet issues in the house in the beginning but hasn’t had any more accidents since then and now does his business outside. He has been left alone for a few hours at a time without incident, he hasn’t broken or destroyed anything. He is also very good during the night.

In the car we attach him to his seatbelt, and he is a little uncertain of it all, but he travels well in the car. He likes going out for walks and is quite strong on the lead. He should be taken out at least 4 times a day (so he can do his business) and on one of the outings he could do with running or playing with his ball.

Astro 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.
