IRINA – OUR SUPER MUMMY
Irina arrived at Los Barrios pound in March 2021 and was about 3,5 years old on arrival. She is a gorgeous podenco that was found presumably abandoned in the streets and brought to the pound.
Irina arrived very pregnant and she went into a foster home, where she gave birth to her 5 puppies, all of which were adopted. She is a very sweet and loving girl and good with other dogs. She loves going to the dog park where she can run off the lead and play.
Irina is a timid girl and needs to know people before she will let them cuddle her. She needs a home with another friendly dog, that can help her overcome her shyness.
Irina has been in a foster home for many months now and has stayed at other homes when they go on holiday and has adapted very quickly to the new homes, even though she is very timid at first.
Irina 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.
