Fernandito
Fernandito is a lovely, gentle boy with a heart of gold. While he may be cautious around new people initially, he warms up quickly and is easy to win over with a little love and patience. He has been tested around cats and showed no interest in them. However, he does seem to have a fear of passing cars.
Fernandito gets along well with all dogs, both male and female, and would make a wonderfully loving addition to any family. He requires a family with time and patience to help him adjust to the outside world and build his confidence.
Could you be the patient and loving family that Fernandito needs? Consider adopting him and providing him with the caring home where he can feel safe and loved. 🐾❤️
November 2024: Update on Fernandito – Time is Running Out!
Fernandito has been in a loving foster home for a couple of months now, and while he has made great progress, he is still looking for his forever family. ❤️
This sweet boy is very good, but he’s also an active dog who thrives with regular activity. At home, he is calm and well-behaved, he likes to go out three times a day for his walks, to run, play, and do his business.
Fernandito gets along well with other dogs, especially females, and loves playing with them. He is very affectionate and incredibly obedient, although he can be a bit shy at first. 🐾
He is a dream on the leash, walks perfectly, and does all his business outside. He’s also great in the car, making him the perfect travel companion! 🚗 However, when let off the leash, he still struggles a little with recall, so he’ll need some continued guidance in that area.
Fernandito is a wonderful dog who is full of potential, but his time in foster care is running out. 💔 He deserves a loving, active home where he can continue to grow and thrive.
If you think you could be the family Fernandito has been waiting for, please reach out.
🏡 Fostering saves lives, but adoption changes them forever. Let’s help Fernandito find the family he deserves. 💕
Fernandito 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.
