As I understand it, at the moment and during the “transition period”, until the end of 2020, your dog will need a rabies injection at least 21 days (I think) before travel and a European pet passport from your vet (I’m assuming your dog has been microchipped - if not, that will need doing too).
When you leave the U.K., depending on which ferry port you use, you may have to show your dog’s passport and scan her microchip.
Coming back, you will need to take the dog to a European vet, no more than 5 days and no less than 24 hours before your return crossing, for administration of a worming tablet, a general health check and completion of the passport. Double check the passport before you leave the vets that it has been correctly dated, time entered and signed, as any issues could result in you not being able to travel. The map of European vets on here is very helpful in finding a vet recommended by members.
At check-in at the European port, the microchip will be scanned and the passport checked.
After the end of the “transition period” the dog may need a blood test to prove the rabies injection has been effective and a Health Certificate rather than the pet passport, depending on what deal has been reached with the EU, but at the moment nobody knows.
Congratulations on adopting a rescue dog - we have recently done the same and are getting things sorted for taking him abroad with us in April, as we did with our previous dog. It all seems quite daunting, but is quite straightforward once you’ve done it a time or two.
If you have any other questions about taking your dog abroad please ask - I did and found the answers very helpful and reassuring.
