EDGAR – PLAY WITH ME!

Edgar’s favourite pastime is playing with other dogs. He sometimes stops to catch his breath, but that’s rare. So he would love to be homed with another very playful dog or he could be homed alone if there is someone around to play with him a lot of the time or to take him on long, stimulating walks. He is a very handsome dog that can be a little nervous around people at first but with a little practise he is getting used to us.

In December 2022 Edgar and Ramses went into foster together because the pound flooded.
Their foster parents tells us after two months:
“We have been lucky enough to have fostered Edgar and Ramses since December, so 8 weeks now.
Both these handsome, beautiful creatures have lived together since September 2022 and are the best of buddies but have quite different personalities.
Edgar (black), the larger of the two greets all friends new and old by jumping up and trying to get their attention. However, he quickly calms down but needs a lot of reassurance. He is quite strong willed but wants to be involved with everything we do. Ramses (white/tan), the younger of the two, is much more placid and extremely affectionate. Edgar is frightened of the Beaches and the Sea but both enjoy a walk in the country – see Photos and Video.
We have tried everything to organise our lives to keep them both with us permanently but our work schedule, often 12 hour days and travelling back and forth to the UK, sometimes for several months at a time, has made this impossible.
We dread them having to go back into kennels and desperately need a permanent home for both of them. Preferably to separate homes, where they can bond with their new families and begin to develop properly their own right.”

March 2023: Edgar and Ramses are now back at the pound. They share a cage, and during the day Edgar enjoy the playtime with a lot of other dogs in the patio. He is an energetic, and playful young dog, and he is also very sociable with both males and females.
Edgar needs an active family that will make sure he gets daily exercise and mental stimulation, he would love to have a fenced garden to play in.

Edgar 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 £570, 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 £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.
