Bella

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Senior · 10 years

Meet Bella! Bella is an older lady at 10 years old and has found herself in need of a loving new home. She may be a senior citizen but she's still got lots of spaniel energy and enjoys nothing more than a fun walk full of sniffing and exploring. After a nice walk Bella loves to settle down for cuddles and fuss and will want to spend as much time with her new owners as possible. So if you're looking for the sweetest companion to share your sofa with, Bella could be the girl for you! She could live with children as long as they are sensible and respectful around dogs but she really would prefer to be the only pet as she would like to live the pampered life with no one to compete with for love! Bella has never lived with cats and it is unknown how she would feel about them. If you think you have a Bella shaped hole in your heart and think she could be the lovely girl for you, please send in your application!

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a senior cocker spaniel dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Bella, answered.

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