Introducing the UK Adoption Team

An Adoption team has now been established in the United Kingdom and will be run by Mandy Spicer whom will be the Adoption Team Co-Ordinator.

As of the 1st January 2012, new DEFRA laws will change UK entry requirements for persons travelling with pets and will be in line with the rest of Europe.

Dogs or Cats will now require the initial single rabies vaccination, then 21 days after the vaccination, can travel to the United Kingdom.

In preparation for these changes, we have appointed a new Adoptions Co-Ordinator, Mandy Spicer. Mandy will be arranging adoptions in the UK, organising home checks and offering ongoing support to adoptants and helping RSDR UK with any fundraising. Mandy will also be offering her house as a collection point for any items.

Mandy has had extensive experience in running a dog rescue, has qualifications as an Animal Nursing Assistant and studied Vet Nursing.

Gina field will also be working alongside Mandy in organising adoptions and has excellent administration skills. Gina has a diploma in Canine Psychology and an NVQ in Pet Care.

Derri Dunn will be helping with adoptions also for the UK Team,and will be helping with home checks, emergency fostering and dog collection meetings.  RSDR UK Chair Julie Lewis, and our own RSDR Samantha Rowles will also be involved in helping the UK Adoption team.

The UK Team are looking for people who can offer temporary foster homes in the UK to help us increase the chances of the dogs being adopted as they get used to family life; learn basic manners and house training and can be visited by prospective new owners.  If you are interested in fostering, please email the UK Adoption team at RSDRadoptUK@yahoo.co.uk  

If you are interested in adopting or fostering one of our lovely dogs please fill out a the UK Adoption questionnaire on the Adoption Page of our website.  http://www.streetdogrescue.com/readyforadoption.htm

If you are interested in volunteering to help or be a part of the UK Adoption Team, please email Mandy Spicer at RSDRadoptUK@yahoo.co.uk

New drop off point

As well as heading up the UK adoption team, Mandy has kindly offered to receive donated items for RSDR at her home. These items will then be transported down to the south coast where they will be collected by our pet transport company and taken over to Bulgaria.

We already have another collection point on the south coast for smaller items, however if you have heavy or bulky items to donate and live in or can deliver them to Norfolk, then Mandy will be willing to accept them for you.  For either Collection point address, please email streetdogrescue@gmail.com or streetdogrescueuk@yahoo.co.uk
