My SeBPRA journey began back in October 2019 when me and my partner were looking to adopt a rescue dog. We found Hettie advertised on Pets4homes in a nearby foster home and instantly fell in love. She came storming into our home in November 2019 and we’ve never looked back.  When we were looking to adopt we weren’t set on a certain breed but knew we wanted to give a home to a rescue dog and not buy from a breeder. A recent doggy DNA test told us that Hettie is a German wirehaired pointer/Brittany cross, which admittedly were two breeds of dogs I’d neverRead More →

Tessa is one of the SeBPRA trustees and organises the day to day running of SeBPRA alongside Sarah, from liasing with shelters to helping support adopters. I started helping with SeBPRA in 2018, as I was determined to help the Brittanys that ended up in rescue shelters in Spain, often for years. Having a Brittany myself, I know they are sensitive, intelligent and enthusiastic dogs that love to be involved in everything, not dogs to be left in a kennel. I could not rehome them all myself, so I offered to help find them homes. Since then I have also looked after the Brittany andRead More →

Sarah is one of the SeBPRA trustees and organises the day to day running of SeBPRA, from liaising with shelters to helping support adopters. “Having had setters my whole life, I was shocked to hear that so many are abandoned each year in Spain and other countries by their hunters. We adopted Remy, a blind Gordon Setter from Spain and she joined our two setters Mack and Alf in late 2017. Having an Irish, English and Gordon setter I may be biased, but they really are a wonderful breed that I couldn’t imagine living without and I know a lot of our adopters would agree!Read More →

Ben is a SeBPRA trustee and helps behind the scenes as well as running the online shop and fundraising I first became aware of SeBPRA in November 2017 when we adopted our first rescue dog, Remy, a blind Gordon Setter. At this point I wasn’t even aware there were Setters in Spain, until I received a text one lunchtime, and straight away we decided we should adopt her as we felt we had a great setup for her. Later that night we were on the phone and the rest is history. Remy slotted straight into our family with Mack (Irish Setter) and Alf (English Setter).Read More →

Dawn is a SeBPRA trustee charity and is responsible for the co-ordination of transport for the dogs from Spain to the UK and all the associated post-Brexit paperwork. I joined SeBPRA in March 2019 and am proud to be a trustee of the charity.  I love working with the rescuers in Spain (Tati, Conchi and Charo) who rescue these beautiful dogs, they are true heroes. My husband Roy and I live in beautiful North Yorkshire and currently have 3 setters which we have adopted from SeBPRA ; Len, Triki (our failed foster) and Lara (Larraitz).  We also have our lovely Staffie X – Melba who rules theRead More →
