Rico – In the UK and looking for a retirement home

Through no fault of his own, Rico’s adopters returned him to our Charity.  We are urgently looking for a loving retirement home for him.

Here is an update from Rico:

Hello, I am Rico. I am a 10 to 12 year old terrier x, looking for my perfect retirement home.

I am told I am quite a character, well at my age I am entitled to be.  lived with my family for 8 years, until their circumstances changed and they couldn’t keep me any longer. I have been in U.K. kennels for nearly 2 years now. They look after me really well, but I do want my own humans again. I would like an older human(s) who would be at home with me most of the time and take me for nice gentle walks, I do walk really well on the lead. I would like to be the only dog, as I do like my humans to myself, and no cats please! Also children scare me, they move too quick! I am a little wary of new people, but treats do help! I do need to be left to myself to settle in and gain confidence and trust with my new humans, at my age why should I be rushed?

If you think I could be your perfect companion I would really love to meet you, and my behaviourist lady friend would be happy to help and advise.

If you feel you could offer a home to gorgeous Rico, either as a foster or adopter then full behavioural support is offered and if you live close enough our behaviourist would be happy to meet you at the kennels in Lincolnshire for a meet and greet with Rico.

Are you his special human? He is waiting for you!

Rico 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 costs to the UK are £570. This includes all DEFRA paperwork and transport by DEFRA registered carrier ( using the TRACES system) direct to your door, except London, within the M25 motorway, Highlands of Scotland beyond Perth, and all off islands (if we cannot deliver direct, a mutually convenient meeting place will be arranged). We sort out all the arrangements and delivery/ meeting times will be advised in advance by the transporter.

For dogs brought to the UK by SSDUK to go initially into foster care, adopters will still be required to pay the full adoption fee of £570 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.
