One of the first dogs we brought from Spain was Diamond – the Municipal Council Pound in Almeria had a dog dropped off – he was 7 years old – a gorgeous terrier boy named Diamond. The reason he was handed over: They were bored of him.
The pound does not hold the dogs long before they put them to sleep – and a wonderful volunteer got in touch with us and asked if we could help….this is the first time we saw him:
No one had shown any interest as he was considered old – and if we did not take him he would be pts. We agreed to take him. We still had to organise his paperwork and transport. Luckily a Spanish rescue decided to help us if we paid costs – so the ball began to roll…
Diamond was ready for transport, they had him ready and we were waiting. Diamond was groomed for us before transport – and when he arrived we were shocked – he was so thin! Also we were shocked, he was so lovely -Diamond by name and Diamond by nature. Although we see it often, we will never understand how so many wonderful dogs are abandoned. Diamond was days away from losing his life – another number – the thought still fills our hearts with sadness. It is dogs like Diamond that keep us going, they are all Diamonds and they deserve a chance to have a loving forever home.

A few days later with his foster pal…
Diamond stayed with his foster for a short while and he proved to be such a lovely boy…he has found a forever home and they love him and could not imagine life without him. Here he is now…
He has a new life and a new name – his forever family are giving him all the love and cuddles he deserves!
Well what a love story for these two dogs, who were a few days away from being put to sleep. We pulled them with the aid of a wonderful person that runs a rescue in Spain – El Amparo on Valentine’s Day! Hence they were named Romeo and Juliet.
Now adopted and living a wonderful life in Norfolk with a sofa, toys and love, we will let the photographs speak for themselves.

Update April 2013:
Clyde has been rehomed!
Good luck Clyde! 🙂 Here’s some new photo’s of him in his new home:
Update 26th February 2013:
Clyde is on his one month trial – and we wish him and his new family a wonderful life. We will update the website on his progress.
This is the lovely Clyde – he is another Wire Fox Terrier that was abandoned in Spain. His owner could no longer care for him or his other dogs and Clyde ended up in kennels with his sister Bonnie.
Bonnie has been adopted – but Clyde has been left and overlooked. We decided to step in as he has been in kennels long enough and we are concerned as he was a pet – he has had some stress in kennels. He will be arriving in the UK at the beginning of January.
Clyde is lovely – he is young – approx 18 months old – he is dog and people friendly – a little naughty – as all terriers should be!
He will be neutered, fully vaccs, micro chipped and have a passport.
He will go into foster in the UK and will be assessed further but if you are interested please contact us.
Update April 2013:
Sara has been rehomed!
Good luck Sara! 🙂 Here’s some new photo’s of Sara in her new home:
Update 26th February 2013:
Sara is in the UK! She arrived late January and she is doing wonderfully. She is the sweetest thing – a real confection. Sara is approx 2 years old and very energetic – she loves to play with you or other dogs and is a typical naughty terrier. She loves to dig, destroy anything left on the floor (post, socks, the occasional slipper) – a real delight.
She needs a home that will give her all the love and attention she has missed – she has a high prey drive – so no small furries. She could live with another dog – but it would have to be playful and well matched. This is a real gem of a dog – and she will need a real gem of a family. Priority will be given to families in the South east – she is currently being fostered in London.
This is the lovely Sara – a female Wire Fox Terrier in Spain. Sara was found as a stray in southern Spain – she luckily was picked up by a spanish rescue and has been kept safe – but the rescue has over 100 dogs and Sara has not had much serious interest.
She is a gem, good with other dogs, she is only small weighing about 6 kilos. So very compact and bijoux for a fox terrier.
She is currently in Spain and we have asked for better photos – so will update shortly.
She will be speyed, fully vaccs, microchipped and have her passport.
She will be in the UK towards the end of January – if you are interested in rehoming this little poppet please contact us for more information.
