Tristan – a lovely boy looking for a fresh start
Tristan arrived at the pound in April 2025 at around 2 years old, together with Bosco. They still share a cage and get along well, and that familiar companionship seems to give him a bit of stability in an otherwise very harsh environment.
Tristan is a sociable, good-natured dog who clearly enjoys being around people. He likes going out for walks and copes well with different situations — traffic, people, donkeys, cats — taking everything in his stride without much fuss.
He has also been out on a walk with a child and did very well.
At the pound, he shares his space with Bosco, another large male, and a female, and they are all coexisting without issues. During their short daily break on the patio, he enjoys moving around and interacting with the other dogs — those brief moments outside the cage really seem to matter to him.
With people, Tristan is open and engaged. He enjoys attention, interaction, and simply being included.
But life in a cage is still his reality. It’s a hard, limiting environment for a young dog like him, and he would benefit hugely from a home that can give him consistency, daily activity, and proper mental and physical stimulation.
Tristan is a good boy in a very difficult place. What he needs now is a chance to experience something better.
This gorgeous dog 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 £595. 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 £595 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 £350 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.
For adoption costs elsewhere, or for help and advice please e-mail adoptions@spanishstraydogs.org.uk
