Yang
Ying and Yang arrived together in December, they were very lucky to go into an amazing foster home together just after they arrived as the pound flooded. The foster mum tells us (3/1-23):
“I’ve been fostering Ying and Yang since the 8th December, they are delightful!!! I would love to keep them, but I already have 5 dogs. Since they’ve been at my farm, both dogs have had very close access to my ducks and chickens and not bothered them at all. They are untested with cats.
YANG is exceptionally loving, very sensitive and intelligent, wants to play or work, listens very well and is happy! He’s social mixing quietly and confidently with other dogs. He’s a confident dog but not pushy or overly assertive. He’s looking for someone who really wants to engage with him. He likes to be active but is equally happy to go back to his bed and relax.
The dogs are living in my hay stable at the moment. They have been calm and quiet, no barking, chewing or destroying things.
Both walk well on the lead and have been well behaved walking out in the countryside and meeting people and other dogs. They are now starting to mix and play with my own dogs who are quite elderly. All went very well, both dogs were very social and keen to play then calmly hang out together.
Both are responding well to lots of praise and step by step introducing new things with lots of time to digest and feel safe. The dogs are clearly bonded together and enjoy each other’s company.”
FEBRUARY: They came back to the pound in February where they share a small cage.
Yang is a real sweetheart! Why no one has fallen in love with him yet, we do not understand! He is very loving and if you sit on the floor, he will throw himself into your arms and just lay there until you get enough. He loves cuddles – and his ball.
During the day Ying and Yang goes out on the patio with other dogs, males and females, without any problem at all. He is also very good on the lead!
Yang are 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 (for both dogs), 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 £1140 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.
