How do I contact the shelter about Annie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Ilfracombe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Annie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Annie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Ilfracombe will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Annie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Annie isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Ilfracombe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Annie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Annie

Female · Adult · 7 years

Although nervous initially, once Annie has built a bond with you, you'll be rewarded with an incredibly loyal, affectionate and devoted companion. She loves spending quality time with her favourite people and is always ready for a tasty treat or an enthusiastic game of fetch with her beloved tennis ball. Walks are one of Annie's favourite parts of the day, especially when she can enjoy peaceful routes at her own pace before returning home to curl up in her favourite cosy bed for a well-deserved snooze. Annie prefers to keep her distance from other dogs and have her own space as she doesn't feel comfortable with them approaching her closely. Quiet walking routes will help her feel relaxed and allow her to enjoy her adventures. She's already mastered "sit", "leave" and "stay", and she's a clever girl who genuinely enjoys learning. With reward-based training and plenty of encouragement, she'll love building her confidence and learning more tricks and skills. Annie is looking for patient adopters who understand that trust is something that grows over time. Give her the space, consistency and kindness she needs, and she'll reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless affection and a truly special friendship. Annie is a beautiful 7-year-old Schnauzer with a loving personality who is looking for a calm, understanding home. When meeting new people, Annie can be nervous at first. With patience, tasty treats and a game of fetch, she quickly begins to build positive relationships and lets her fun, playful personality shine through. She can live with secondary school-aged children. Annie can feel worried around other dogs and has a natural instinct to chase cats and livestock, she isn't able to live with dogs, cats, small animals or livestock. She would be happiest in a quiet home with few visitors. Annie is fully housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside. She's also comfortable being left for a few hours. She prefers quieter walking areas where there are fewer dogs and less traffic, as large, noisy vehicles can make her feel uneasy. She has been positively trained to wear a muzzle on walks, as she has a tendency to scavenge and eat items she shouldn't. Annie travels very well in the car too!

About Annie

What life with Annie looks like

Annie is a large adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe in Ilfracombe.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.
