Marie Curie – A Soul Full of Love Waiting for Her Chance

Marie Curie has spent almost two heartbreaking years in the pound, enduring life in a tiny, cold, and damp cage. Two long years without a family to love her, without a warm bed to call her own. Despite her circumstances, this beautiful young girl has an incredible spirit that refuses to be broken.

When Marie first arrived, she was timid and unsure, overwhelmed by the chaos of barking dogs and the constant movement around her. But time has revealed her true nature – a loving, affectionate, and resilient soul who craves companionship. Now, there’s no sign of the wary girl she once was. Today, she greets the sight of a leash with near-somersaults of joy, eager for those precious moments outside her cage.

Marie Curie is a dream to walk. She is great on the lead, unbothered by passing people, dogs, cars, donkeys, or even cats. In fact, she loves to pause and share her treats with the street cats she encounters, showing her gentle and kind heart. She adores cuddles and playtime, her face lighting up when someone gives her the love and attention she so desperately deserves.

But life in the pound is taking its toll on her. The damp, cold floor of her cage has recently caused her painful paw problems, making even her cherished walks difficult. There were days when the pain kept her from walking at all – a stark reminder of the suffering she endures in this harsh environment.

Marie Curie spends more than 23 hours a day alone in her cage, longing for the warmth and comfort of a family. She has so much love to give, but no one to give it to. Please, don’t let her wait any longer.

Marie Curie 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.
