DONATELLO – OUR BABY BOY IS ALL GROWN UP
When Donatello arrived at the pound as a puppy he was scared of his own shadow. We don’t know his past but he was clearly not socialised with other dogs or people. He formed a strong friendship with 2 other timid puppy siblings that arrived the same day as him and they have been unseparable ever since. It is now time for him to fly the nest.
March 2022 he went into a foster home with his friend Kim. He was very scared at first to go into the house but did enjoy cuddles with the couple. Very shortly after arrival he encountered the cats and had no problem with them at all. And then started to venture inside the house.
Donatello needs an experienced home with another female dog who will build his confidence, in a rural area with outside space.
Donatello is available for adoption in Germany, UK, Finland and Spain. 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 £250 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 £250 you may be asked to give an amount towards this.
