Sophie is a beautiful Portuguese Podengo girl, with a long, rough coat in light tan and white. Poor girl is just 4 years old, and has spent a lot of her life living on the streets and giving birth.  Sophie is a very sweet natured and calm girl, but also a little shy (she takes time to blossom and get to trust you, but once she does she’s a super sweet natured and affectionate girl).
Sophie loves her doggy pals, is good on the lead and a clean girl in her pen. She’s learning that people are kind and now enjoys the love and affection she’s shown but needs someone with time and patience to let her blossom.
 
Sophie is spayed, up to date with vaccinations and had clear blood tests, and tested negative for Brucella. We are looking for a family with another friendly dog for Sophie to play with and learn from and older calm children no younger than 11yrs to suit her level of confidence. Sophie is ok with cats.

None yet.

  • Adopting A DogWatch UK Rescue Dog:
  • Homecheck:
  • For Rescue Dogs coming from overseas:
  • Adoption Fee: £
Before being adopted, dogs will have been vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas.
If old enough they will have been neutered, if too young, then the new owners will need to ensure this is done and proof sent to us once complete. All dogs are microchipped

All new owners will need to change their new dogs microchip information to their contact details. DogwatchUk does this on your behalf so that we know that its been done.

All our adoptions are subject to successful homechecks which are carried out via a video call. There is now a deposit for all homechecks of £25 which is deducted from the adoption fee.
The adoption fee is paid via bank transfer to the UK (or Paypal) and covers the cost of passport, bloods, microchip, vaccines and neutering (if over 6 months) also transport costs/taxes from Spain to the UK.
If you are adopting a UK dog then the process is still the same but there will be no bloods or passport or transport costs.
If the homecheck fails the £25 will be reimbursed.
If the application is withdraw after the homecheck this is non refundable.
Our checker will be given your details to contact you. All homechecks are now conducted virtually and will be undertaken via video call (using skype, zoom or equivalent).
We will need to meet ALL members of the family living at the address, including children.
Proof of ID and landlord permission (if applicable) is required

This adoption fee is a contribution towards the costs of rescuing the dog including
– microchip, pet passport, vaccines, tests for South European diseases, neutering (IF OLD ENOUGH), parasite treatment and transport to the UK.

We can not home dogs from overseas to people who work full time or long hours, unless some sort of doggy day care is offered. They need someone at home a lot of the day, they are not used to being alone for long periods. A dog walker for an hour out of the day is not enough.

Leaving dogs a long time on their own means they are highly likely to develop separation anxiety which is distressing for them and everyone in their new home.

Paid to the Spanish rescue via UK bank account
