Adopt Beetroot

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Adult · 5 years

Beetroot is a 5 year old Yorkshire terrier crossbreed that is looking for an active home that can keep up with his lively nature! He has been super friendly with all the handlers here at the centre, coming over for a fuss and even hopping onto their laps. Beetroot loves nothing more than playing with his toys, throwing them at his handler to continue playing. Though he can demand bark and lacks impulse control at times. He walks well on the lead and is more than happy to head off on an adventure, so would make a great addition to a home that loves to be out and about as much as he does! Beetroot is looking for a home where he will be the only dog as he is under-socialised around them and can be reactive. Due to this, we advise that he is kept on his lead when out and about on walks. He wouldn't be suitable to share his home with cats but small furries may be considered if they are kept completely separate from him. Beetroot would be best suited to live with sensible children of secondary ages who are understanding of giving him space when needed. He would love a home with access to a private, secure garden so he can play fetch to his hearts content, homes without a garden may be considered if there is access to green space so he can work on his house training. Beetroot would not suit a communal space.

About Beetroot

What life with Beetroot looks like

Beetroot is a small adult yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Beetroot, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Beetroot?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Manchester handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Beetroot on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Beetroot if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Manchester 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 Beetroot 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 Beetroot 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 Manchester early rather than rehoming privately; they know Beetroot 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.
