Passport
Once we have received the donation fee and a signed contract you will receive your dog's passport.
Micro-chip
All dogs are registered to SFP before they reach the UK. Once the dog has been adopted we will change the details on the micro-chip to the new owners'. By law you must keep your personal micro-chip details up to date. Fines for not doing so are £500.
Safety information
Dogs rehomed by Serbia’s Forgotten Paws have been rescued from various situations in Serbia, from kill shelters to street dogs to those abused by their owners. When collecting your dog please bring an ID tag, a slip lead, a harness and short (not flexi) lead as well as either a crate or car safety harness. It may take a while for a dog to feel safe and learn the routine and getting to know its surroundings and you. Depending on said dogs personality and previous experiences it may take the opportunity to nip out any exit doors whether in the car or in the home. It is essential that the dog is restrained IE in another room with the door closed or have hold of dog on lead before exiting or entering the house or car.
