Desperately seeking.................

Hello again! We are now, sadly, back in the UK, but unfortunately the problem is ongoing. We thought we had found someone to adopt the dog, via a friend of a friend, but for some completely inexplicable reason the lady who took him thought it was to be for 3 months max. As we will probably have to relocate yet again to the Far East in a years time we really do need someone to adopt him on a permanent basis. So if you know of anyone looking to adopt a lovely friendly dog please let them know about him and get in touch. Very many thanks.

We were told that before the passport can be issued there has to be a confirmatory blood test 6 months after the actual vaccination, we did not have 6 months. We are now living in a matchbox of an appartment completely unsuitable for a dog and are due to move to the Far East within a year. It was therefore felt that the kindest thing for the dog would be to find a new home locally to us in Italy - which we thought we had done! (Perhaps I should add for clarity that when we first had the dog and he received the usual jabs, rabies was not included as the vet advised against it as there is no rabies in the area. At that stage we had no intention of returning to UK, so we agreed.   As he has never received the rabies jab he is not covered and would have to start from scratch. So, my tip to any British dog owners in Italy - make sure your dog is vaccinated against rabies so that if the unexpected occurs and you do have to suddenly return to UK, taking the dog with you remains an option.)
