Lady
Lady was found with a chip, and her owner promised to come for her, but instead, they surrendered her at the pound. She’s a very sweet and loving dog who adores people and gets along well with other dogs. But life at the pound is tough for her.
Lady spent about a month in foster care in October 2023, and her foster mom shared: “Lady is doing well. Walks make her so happy, but she’s scared of loud noises, certain people, some dogs, and water, which makes her tail go between her legs. She trusts me and sticks by my side. When she’s happy, she puts her paws on my chest and smiles. She loves cuddles and children, and she’s okay with cats until they get too close, then she gets scared. She can handle car rides, but she gets stressed, so I sing to her to calm her down. I’m teaching her to be alone at home.”
Now, Lady is back at the pound. She’s coping, but she’s not happy. Her eyes tell a sad story, as if pleading to be taken home. During her brief breaks from her cage, she waits by the gate, hoping for someone to take her out for a walk. She loves walks and behaves well on the lead, calm and sweet. She’s not bothered by dogs, people, or cars during her walks – she’s a true star!
It’s time for Lady to find a home where she’ll be loved forever and never left in a place like the pound. If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet girl, please consider giving her the forever home she deserves.
Lady 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.
