About us
Homechecks are done for each adoption application, and we will ensure that the dog you like is suitable for your family and lifestyle. We consider each application carefully based on the information provided. Everything will be discussed fully with you, and if you are successful, updates, photos and videos will be sent throughout the entire adoption process. We want each adoption to be happy and successful for both the dog and the adopter, and for their forever home to be just that……for ever.

WE NEED YOUR HELP
Working alongside Canasta de Oro and Refugio Canino, we have the opportunity to send many dogs and cats to their forever homes in Holland.
With Brexit, lockdowns and Covid, it is imperative that this happens as it may be the only chance some of these dogs have of finding their golden baskets.
Many of them have been without a home for many years, and we need YOUR help to make this happen.
To vaccinate, neuter, do paperwork and transport these dogs, we need to fundraise £5000 for every trip.
PLEASE, if you can help in any way to help us continue, please click on the DONATE button today, and help us to help them
Here at Paws, we understand that sometimes circumstances can bring about a difficult time for both people and their pets. Situations are changing on a daily basis, and sometimes we find ourselves unable to care for our pets as we would like to.
Having to rehome your pet is a very difficult decision, and sadly many people are finding themselves in such a position.
We are here to help you.
Please do contact us by using the Facebook link above, or on the contact form on this page.

Dogs for Adoption

Adoption Policy
When you see a dog or cat you would like to adopt ,either on our facebook page or website, then click on “apply to adopt” and complete the application form. Alternatively, send us a message on our Facebook page. One of our admin will then have a chat with you to ensure the animal you like is suitable for both your home and lifestyle.
Once this has been agreed the next step is to arrange a home check.
We ask for an Adoption Donation of £600 for dogs travelling from Spain. This covers all vaccinations, blood tests, microchipping, Import and Export taxes, Customs fees, flea and worm treatments, and, if the dog is old enough, neutering.
It also covers the cost of transport from Spain to the UK.
Dogs for adoption in the UK are £250, cats are £100, and kittens in the UK are £120.
Four weeks free insurance from Petplan is also provided for all dogs under the age of 8.
For adoptions in Scotland, we sometimes ask that the transport is met at the Scottish Borders so as to prevent the animals from being on board for too long. We will discuss this with you prior to adoption.
Every dog from Spain comes with its own passport and all its relevant vaccinations, including rabies. They are tested for common Mediterranean diseases by blood test, and all dogs and pups are given a thorough health check prior to travelling. All vaccination details, worming and flea treatment details etc are all held in the passport for you to take with you when you register with your own vet. The vaccinations do not need to be renewed for a year, and your vet can advise when worming and flea treatment is next due, as both are done just before travelling. They will also be Micro chipped according to E.U law. If the animal is old enough we will spay or neuter before travel. This will be 8 months old for a female, and 6 months for a dog, but we will advise you. If the animal is not old enough, we ask that they are neutered by the adopter as soon as they are old enough.
All of our dogs and pups are health checked and assessed prior to adoption. We never home a dog if we think it is not a good match, and will discuss everything with you. We never home fighters or biters.
Please feel free to ask any questions as we are only too happy to help. We offer support and advice throughout the entire adoption process and afterwards
We do not receive any private funding for our rescue and all the money we use for the dogs or cats comes from donations and fund raising both in Spain and the UK . Without your donations we would not be able to carry on with the work we do, so please do give what you can using our donate button above, or by Paypal to pawsforthecause2017@gmail.com
A little about fostering
Where possible, our dogs are placed in ‘foster homes’ whilst they wait to be re-homed. These are people who are prepared to look after a dog in their own home for as long as it takes us to find permanent and loving homes. This could be a matter of days, weeks or even a few months but it gives us a chance to assess the needs of the particular dog e.g. can he/she live with another dog, older children, cats, etc.
These wonderful ‘foster homes’ give the dog love, time, training and exercise freely.
We are always in need of such wonderful people both in Spain and the UK. As with adoption, we also carry out home checks for new foster homes, and we ask you to sign a form indemnifying Paws for the Cause Rescue from any damage that may be caused to the foster home, although in reality, only on a very few occasions has any damage been caused.
Fostering Requirements
The requirements necessary for ‘fostering’ are given below:
Some experience of taking care of a dog is needed.
Someone at home most of the day as dogs may be insecure if they have lost their homes.
A secure garden.
Have no very young children who may not understand that insecure dogs need their own space and time to adapt.
Most of all you need a love of dogs and patience with their behaviour when it isn’t quite up to scratch. They occasionally need help with house training and learning not to chew etc!
Before we take a dog into our care, he/she is assessed and we do not take in fighters or biters.
Apply to Foster
Please read the Fostering Requirements.
If you wish to foster a specific type or size of dog please tell us.
