A Shropshire family are overjoyed that their Romanian pup will be coming home, as enough money has been raised to cover the unexpected quarantine costs.
Christina Richards, from Shrewsbury, shared the news this week and said she had been overwhelmed by the level of support from local people who were quick to make donations.
But, unexpectedly, Willow and the other dogs were stopped at the border because Defra claimed the puppies were three-and-a-half months old, not five. Commenting on the good news, Christina said:"I am amazed at the help and support from everyone. We didn't think we would make the money we did – especially with two days to spare – but its been a whirlwind.
Christina went on to say that the battle is not yet over, as it has not been made clear where the pups are being held and how they will get to them.
