Apply to adopt a dog
This very handsome majestic lad is Rover, a 7 year old traditional Rottie with a Black and tan short coat
Poor Rover arrived at the shelter last July scared and distrustful, but now he has opened up and revealed his true personality, a cheery character, approaching everyone he meets to seek affection and attention, trusting and relaxing around different people in our volunteer areas, and saying hello to children.
 
Rover walks well on a leash, although he is a strong dog and may react when other dogs come too close in a threatening way, so we keep him in good control and continue with socialisation walks with other dogs in a positive environment and he has greatly improved, because he is a really good boy.
 
Our long-term volunteers all say that he is one of the most obedient, pleasant to walk dogs in the shelter, and he builds a connection with you very quickly and listens very well to your guidelines. We are looking for a responsible family for Rover, with experience or knowledge of this breed, its character, and behavior. Ideally, he should go to a calm home, away from the noise of the city, where he can enjoy peaceful walks in nature. It’s essential that his future family gives him the time and dedication he needs, and that they are committed to continuing his training so he can learn to behave appropriately and gain confidence.
In his previous home, Rover did not live with other dogs and had very little interaction with them. Because of this, we are looking for a home where he can be the only 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                                           

For Dogs coming from Spain this adoption fee is a contribution towards the costs of rescuing the dog- microchip, passport, vaccines, tests for S European diseases, neutering (if old enough), parasite treatment and transport to the UK.

We can not home dogs from Spain  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.
