Pumba
Pumba is a stunning dog! He loves people and a good cuddle. If a volunteer has the time to take him out for a walk, he will be so happy!
He is good on the lead and will happily stop for a short break to have a cuddle and some treats.
He has shared a cage with the beautiful Sonrisa for many months, but she has recently been very lucky to get adopted. They were so good together, and we are sure, that Pumba misses her company… he now share a cage with several other dogs, males and females.
Recently (Oct.’23, see video below) a volunteer gave Pumba a nice break from the life at the pound, they went in the car to the market in Los Barrios and went to a cafe to have a drink – the volunteer said he was a star!! He didn’t seem bothered by all the people, other dogs, traffic or noise, he just followed her by her side all the time
Hopefully someone will fall in love with him soon, so he can get the life he deserves, instead of being locked up in a cage for more than 23 hours a day🙏
Pumba 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.
