This lovely, gentle, large girl is Rose, a 6 year old Spanish Mastine mix. She has a beautiful thick, light tan, soft coat, and black masked face. Rose recently joined us, with her sister Poppy, from a rescue in Malaga that was closing down as the owner had passed away.
Poor Rose has been in kennels all her life along with her siblings, all now homed except the two sisters. As you can imagine, the 2 sisters are very bonded, but also very sweet natured and affectionate girls if a little shy still but we are working on exposing her to more new situations to help her confidence.
Both girls have met quite a few dogs at the rescue without issue and now share their garden with young Levi, ( https://www.dogwatchuk.com/levi-podenco-mix-puppy/ ) all 3 play very happily together and its great for them to have their freedom, both girls walk nicely on their lead.
Rose, like Poppy, is being treated for low level leishmania with Alopurinol which is an inexpensive maintenance programme to keep her healthy and safe. Rose is spayed and up to date with her vaccinations. It’s always much harder trying to home 2 dogs together but we would love to try for these lovely sisters.
Due to Rose’s size, we think she is better homed with children over 10 years and she can live with other dogs but we are unsure of being an only dog. She would do well in a rural environment, maybe a farm, small holding or large gardens, and a family used to walking or other outside activities. We haven’t tested her for cats yet

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
