RISA – POOR BABY
This sweet, gentle girl was dumped at the pound by her cruel owner. The fear she shows is not from being afraid at the pound but from being petrified of humans who have clearly only mistreated her previously. She cowers every time she’s approached as she thinks she will be hit. We are going to teach her that not all humans are mean and that she will be loved and adored and treated with respect. It breaks our heart to see such a damaged dog. Risa is a stunning little dog who deserves a new life where she can trust her humans and relax in comfort for the first time in her life. She needs a home experienced with fearful dogs.
Risa 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 £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 £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.
