Annabel asked us to help her family of 13 pets relocate from England to Portugal. On the way back, we collected four dogs and four cats moving to join their owners in Spain and the UK.
Annabel’s 13 pets relocate from England to Portugal
When Annabel was moving from Northamptonshire to Portugal, she asked us to transport her family of 13 delightful pets and organise the required animal health certificates (AHCs).
Following a super journey with Cocker Spaniels Bear and Loki, eight rabbits, and Scottish Straight cat Noodle, we reached the picturesque hills of rural Monchique, where Annabel was waiting to welcome them all to their new home.

Daisy and Bowie, 2 dogs from Portugal to the UK
In Rabacal, Portugal, we met up with Nicola’s husband Tarq to collect sweethearts Daisy and Bowie, on their way to start a new life in Wiltshire, England.
Tarq gave the girls a loving send-off

What a cheeky face!

Stella and Dunkel, 2 dogs from Portugal to the UK
Stella and Dunkel, a pair of Miniature Dachshunds, belong to Ian and Jennifer. Stella and Dunkel travelled with us from the Portuguese Algarve to Dartford in Kent. Both dogs were full of character — fun and playful throughout their adventure with us on the road.

Also in Portugal, we met up with Sophie to collect four large, adorable cats belonging to her Mum, Victoria. The cats had a short journey with us from Faro to Alicante in Spain.

That is a nice variation of beautiful passengers who were enjoying their ride.
Lots of variety this time which we love too!
What a nice haul of kitties, bunnies, and doggies.
A good number, luckily spread out throughout the trip 😉
Great photos and a lot of wagging tails and happy faces at reunion time! Beautiful pets, people AND locations.
Hugs, Pam
Nice to see some of the places Courier Gwen and her passengers visited.
Happiness in a post! Thank you for sharing – the first time I’ve had hope for the future of our fur babies since we’re grieving the recent losses of Spike and Carl. Many people all over the planet want to do what’s best for those who ask so little and, yet, give so much.
Glad to have given you some positivity in your grieving process. There are indeed many, many people who want to do the best for their pets.
