Our adoption fee is £490 and includes council dog pound release charges, neutering, blood tests, vaccinations, passport processing, transport within Spain and towards the UK and border control charges. We arrange everything for you and will support you before, during and after the dog's arrival to your home. Some dogs have had contributions made to their fee from wonderful supporters - these will always be displayed on their profiles.

On average the process to adopt a dog takes 6 weeks. All dogs must have a rabies vaccination that is valid for a minimum of 21 days and they need to be neutered prior to leaving. They are then booked on the first available transport to the UK. Transport is by car and leave for the UK on average once a month.

We do not adopt dogs to families with children younger than 6-7 years old and even older we will need to consider the dog and household very carefully.  The demands of a rescue dog sometimes do not fit within a household with young children.  Although the dogs are not aggressive, we understand it is difficult to stop children respecting the dogs' need for space and calm - in particular during the first few weeks after adoption. The safety of dog and child will always come first.

Although a house with a garden would be preferable, we understand that this is not always possible and will consider adopters that live in a flat. However, each query will be individually assessed and we will look at the needs of the chosen dog together with the adopter’s experience, lifestyle, mobility and access to outside spaces.

Its possible and its been done many times, however, we do not do cat tests and even with cat tests it is difficult to evaluate how a dog will be with a cat.  Dogs may not necessarily want to harm a cat but they may want to chase or play with them, causing distress to your cat. Also, your cat may not be happy to share the household with a dog!

Any adopter with cats will need to be very aware and consider all scenarios so dog and cat can both live happily.

We are looking for fosters in Spain if possible however, fosters in the UK are considered for the dogs that fail adoptions after coming over. We can't bring dogs directly from Spain into UK foster homes due to the associated costs, our charity simply cannot cover them.

We are working hard to find adopters that understand that a dog is a long life commitment and that work, patience and time are of essence to help a dog settle.  

However, we understand that there are situations where the adoption is no longer viable and the charity will always be there to help.  If you can no longer keep your adopted dog, the dog needs to come back to our charity. We will then work on finding a new home.

We do however ask that the adopters keep the dog until a new home is found. In situations  where the dog needs to leave the house quickly, we will arrange for kennels and transport in the UK. 

Please note that you cannot give it to any third party without consent from our charity. Always, call us and we will discuss and work on a solution together.

There's loads of ways you can help Spanish dogs outside of adoption. You can become a regular or ad hoc donor.

We are always in need of funds to help the many dogs that are suffering in pounds and need out whilst they wait for that forever home. You can also get in touch and volunteer with us. There are so many tasks and skills required to run a dog charity - your help and support will always be welcomed by our team.
