When I lost one of my Ridgebacks last year, I looked at puppies, because my other one was very lost, they were between £3000 - £3500, not from top breeders, just family homes where i had previously paid 550 and 600.P.s i know this post was in jest .. but rescuing a dog is never free .
By the time ive paid for all her injections, blood tests and passport ill be a few hundred Euros lighter . Not to mention ongoing expenses including sterilisation.
But is she worth it ....damm right she is .
She's already showing gratitude ...im getting nuzzled and licked
She may even help me lose weight ....either by eating the left overs i normally ate or just by costing me so much in food ill not be able to feed myself
£600 each for our rescue dogs from Spain. This includes the cost of vaccinations, health checks, sterilisation, passport, transport and import costs. Since Brexit, there is a nominal £20 import duty to pay on rescue animals from the EU. There has also been an increase in the amount of paperwork/documentation which the transporters have to deal with and the costs of this have, naturally, been passed on to the adopters.
Im just wondering how on earth im going to make the bed up ...jade and milo are used to the routine now but ela is not going to have a clue whats going on . It should be interesting to say the least. Not sure yet if she'll want to sleep with us or on the floor in a bed .. . Could be an interesting night.So Tam, dogs have all got somewhere to sleep, guess your outside under the van?!?!
Thats crazy money ...
, loved that dog.
When i first saw her thats what i said to Jackie ...she was like a doberman ...but mostly due to her coloursWhat a lovely dog, she seems settled i now. She reminds me of the doberman we had back in the 80's Voss would claim his seat
Surely you can squeeze into the gap between the bench seats, on the floor
Really ....hmmm
that's almost my electrics for my vario 
Might be a bit damp in there in the morning.
Yeah im worried about that as just took her out on the lead to go for a pee and that didn't go well ....first off she didn't want to come out the van . Then she wasn't used to the lead or colour so proceeded to just charge back and forth trying to get loose ...so shes not done anything . Think ill sleep in my clothes tonight incase i get woken up abruptly .Might be a bit damp in there in the morning.
Bless her, she probably thought she was getting kicked out for the night.
Yes they went out as normal but only she was on the lead. I did think she might think i was kicking her out ...i hate that but it will take her a few days to realise this is her new home. But i had to lift her out and back in again . Im glad i adjusted the collar as she was trying to get out of it when she panicked. But alls well now ... hopefully i don't wake up in a puddle lol.
and an early hours walkies lolReally ....hmmm
Ha ha just kidding .....although having just watched her drink the whole bowl of water in one go i might need a bigger water tank too.
What have i let myself in for
We have always said we couldn’t understand people adopting from another country when there are so many rescued dogs in the U.K. looking for homes.
can't get her to come out on the lead .. she's still in there with jackie till i came and got a coffee as my head not work without caffeine. 
Similar markings/colouring to ours that we rescued in Portugal. We've been told by rescue centres in Portugal and Spain that black dogs are hard to rehome in Portugal and Spain, they're considered "devil" dogs, hence why so many are abandoned and are shipped off to the UK, Germany and Holland for rehoming.
Yes i was told that with jade too and i remember some kids calling jade ...pero diablo a few times ...
