‘OLD DOG OF THE WEEK’ FEATURES NEW PHOTOS AND A FRESH WRITE-UP FOR AN OVERLOOKED OLDIE THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR WEBSITE FOR A WHILE BUT IS STILL WAITING FOR A NEW HOME. Please help Bea by sharing this page (but if it’s on Facebook, please check our page to make it’s OK now)! Good Girl Bea is a 9-year-old Crossbreed in the care of Sadies Dog Rescue at their kennels in Shropshire. She's available to either foster or adopt as she'd love to be in a nice warm home again. Bea wants to be the only pet at home. She has previously lived with another dog but she's very choosy and definitely wants to have her people to herself. Cats are a no thank you too and she'd wants an adult-only home for maximum peace and attention. Bea only needs short walks. She has very short legs, like a Corgi, so even a short walk feels long enough to her! She's generally good on the lead but can be strong occasionally. She's a sturdy girl of about 20kg… …and therefore wonderful for cuddles, with her trusted people. She prefers walks which mostly avoid other dogs as she can be reactive/protective with unknown ones. This has improved since she first came into rescue but a peaceful walkies is always best. Bea can be wary of strangers at first, especially men. Once she warms up to people, she's as soppy as can be. She spent the first half of her life as a cherished pet before her family had to give her up, so she remembers having a proper doggy lifestyle and home comforts. She would happily spend most of her time snuggled up with her people and getting belly rubs. If you might be able to foster or adopt this sweet girl, please contact Sadies Dog Rescue as follows: Email: To complete their foster application form CLICK HERE. Please say you saw Bea featured as Old Dog of the Week on the Oldies Club website. This replaces Bea's previous page date 23 November 2025.

About Bea

What life with Bea looks like

Bea is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bea, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bea?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bea on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bea if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bea 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 Bea 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bea 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.
