Stunning boy Ollie is a 3 year old Podengo from Portugal and he has a smooth, short tan and white coat and he stands at medium height. Poor Ollie is looking for a new home, due to his familiy’s break up and not through any fault of his own.They are devastated to lose him and think he is a fantastic loving boy.
This is what else they told us.
Home Report: Ollie has always been an only dog. He came to us as a puppy and I think in hindsight he should have been homed with another dog as he would have more confidence. He does pull a little on the lead in excitement to get out. Recall: he is only ever off lead in a secure dog field. We go at least once a week for zoomies and he loves it.. We didn’t take him to the vets as we could see he was nervous and so he is behind on his vaccinations. Snuggly. Loves long walks. I’ve been running with him. He adores soft toys and chews. Loves to play hide and seek games with his food. He has so much more to give. Travels well in the car. Ollie has come on so much with us but still lacking a bit of confidence. Diet: he has been fed a mix of biscuits / raw meat and rice.
His best Points:
Loving, funny, typical Pod dog.
Foster Report:
Ollie has been with me a few weeks now and he lives well with my big long coat GSD boy.
He likes the stimulation of training and clicker training that we are presently trying. This is a lovely boy that I think she have been homed with another dog when he was a puppy as his confidence has grown a lot since being with us. I think he would have the courage now to go to the vets for his vaccines and we will book him in next week. Whatever home this boy goes to it needs to be with another friendly dog

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.
