Cute, little Tau, is a tan and white small/medium mini crossbreed Podenco. She has the cutest face and is so affectionate she likes you to pick her up and cuddle!
Tau is 3 years old and she’s very friendly with other dogs and ignores cats and likes children. She likes the attention of the volunteers and enjoys her walks and cuddles. She is house trained and good on lead.
We are looking for a home with another friendly dog and children over 8 years. Again, another of the dogs affected by the Lorca contract going to the new pound and so we want her out to safety in the next month.
*******Newsflash ******** we have a transport date for Tau and she will be in the Uk in foster at the end of February
Her Best Points :
Laid back, calm obedient girl
UK Fosterer’s report:
After just a few days, we have to say she is a lovely dog. She is now coming out of her shell.
She absolutely loves our 10-year-old son and follows him wherever he goes. Tau is very cuddly and affectionate especially to my partner. We have squirrels in our garden everyday and she takes absolutely no notice of them (Unlike our border Terrier) and seems to have zero prey drive. She is around the 10kg mark. She is not a jumper and does run nicely with our own dog. Excellent on the lead and house trained. Loves a treat. A great little dog for someone and we think as a companion to another 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.
