Daniella Dos Santos, BVA President, said: “Adverts for organisations that rehome European dogs are often only a couple of clicks away. Actor Orlando Bloom rescued a dog, Sidi, from the streets of Morocco. Ricky Gervais is also patron of a charity that brings rescue dogs to the UK from Romania. Daniella added: “We would always advise people to look at rehoming dogs already in the country. Daniella added: “If you already own a rescue dog from abroad, ask a vet for advice on testing and treatment.”Designer breeds and cross-breeds bred abroad in unsafe conditions can also bring diseases to the UK.
