Timo
Timo is an absolute gem! He’s incredibly friendly with people, adores cuddles, and cherishes every bit of attention he receives from the volunteers. With his endearing habit of sitting obediently, it’s nearly impossible to resist his charm when he gazes at you with those captivating amber eyes and his floppy ears ❤️.
Despite spending most of his day in a tiny cage (more than 23 hours every day!), Timo eagerly awaits his daily break on the small patio, where he can stretch his legs and release some pent-up energy. He’s quite imaginative and always finds something to play with, showcasing his playful spirit.
While he lives in solitude in his cage, Timo occasionally enjoys the company of another male and a female on the patio.
Timo loves going outside the pound for a walk, but he doesn’t get to go on walks often because there aren’t enough volunteers. When he does get to go out, he’s super happy and loves every minute of it! He behaves well on the lead, but sometimes he gets excited and pulls a bit because he’s so eager to explore.
Timo seems interested when meeting horses, but isn’t bothered by other dogs, people, or cars passing by. He’s a great companion for outdoor fun!
It’s clear that Timo’s current living situation isn’t ideal. Please consider adopting him; he deserves a chance at a more fulfilling life beyond the confines of a tiny cage.
Timo 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 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.
