Plans of Mice & Men
Sometime within the next year I will be returning to the UK, so I will be researching all the things I need to do, other than save loads of money. It isn´t just a case of packing a case, catching a flight and going home. As this is Spain, there is a lot more red tape.
Joe, the JRT, that in his case stands for “Jack Russell Terrorist”, is a very important member of our family and if he doesn´t go home, no one does.
Many Brits just abandon dogs and cats. One family returning to the UK left the family pets in their former home only to be found by the new owners after they had finalised the purchase. Luckily there were alive and eventually rehomed.
A case recently reported told of a couple who arrived at a pet´s clinic in a Jaguar with two dogs for grooming services. The owner of the clinic groomed the dogs, pampered them etc, and then attempted to contact the owners. There was no response to calls and they have not been seen or heard of since. The pets are now up for rehoming.
My site will still cover problems encountered in Spain by expats, but will focus on researching the rules regarding pets returning to the UK from other countries. Next will be the action us humans need to take before leaving Spain, ie tax, housing, banks accounts and son on. Finally transporting all of us and our possessions back to the UK, finding accommodation there, plus informing pensions, tax office and other organisations of our return.
