This little chap is Elmo – a small terrier JRT x, with a smooth, black and tan coat, who looks a bit like a Min Pin. Poor Elmo ended up in the pound in Spain and was really terrified when he first entered the Rescue Shelter for safety. As he was a dog from the Lorca area, everyone pulled together to get him into a rescue then bring him to the UK. During this time, Elmo came out of himself and proved he is a friendly boy and gets on with other dogs, he doesn’t pull on lead and in general is a calm boy, but he is not a plodder! He loves to play with his toys as you can see by the video.
We have tested for cats and it didn’t work out. He has been in the Uk for over 4 weeks living in a house with another dog and his confidence is now very outgoing, but we think its possible he may be able to live without another dog now, but we know he is very sociable and likes playing with dogs. He loves his walks and would like to get off his lead but his recall has not been tested .
Elmo is also good with small children, as he has been living in foster with a 3 yo child and 5 year old child and he is fine. All in all he is a sweet little boy that likes to please and a gentle soul with children and other dogs

Adopting A DogWatch UK Rescue Dog
Before being adopted, dogs will have been vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas.
If old enough they will have been neutered, if too young the new owners will need to ensure this is done.
All dogs are microchipped
All new owners will need to change their new dogs microchip information to their contact details. This costs £17. If you would like us to arrange this for you, at a reduced rate of £7.20, we will ask you to do a bank transfer to allow us to register the change.
For Rescue Dogs coming from overseas
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.
