Twiggy
Twiggy arrived at the pound in a bad state. She seemed to have been in labor for an extended period. Despite rushing her immediately to Urvet, where an emergency cesarean was performed, sadly, all five puppies were dead. According to the vet, they were far too big for her and never stood a chance.
Fortunately, upon her release, she went straight into foster care. The foster reports:
From the first day, she has been incredibly well-behaved. Initially, she was a bit shy with the other dogs, but this changed quickly, and she now happily sleeps and plays with them. She is house-trained and walks well on and off the lead. However, her true passion is the sofa, where she loves nothing more than to relax. She adores cuddles, especially from kids. She is a true ray of sunshine who would fit easily into any family.
Twiggy 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.
