How do I contact the shelter about Bubbles?

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

Can I adopt Bubbles if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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 Bubbles 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 Bubbles 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 Battersea Dogs & Cats Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bubbles 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.

Bubbles

Bichon Frisé · Female · Senior · 9 years

Bubbles is ready to burst into your life! This affectionate, lively Lurcher may be a little particular about her personal space when it comes to other dogs, but when it comes to people she’s full of love, enthusiasm and plenty of bounce. She’s a mature girl with a real lust for life and would love to find someone who can help her make the most of it! Bubbles loves getting out and about and enjoys her walks, particularly when she has plenty of space to sniff and explore. Despite being an older lady, she has lots of energy and would adore regular opportunities to stretch her legs and enjoy some zoomies in a secure area. She’s a real people person who loves a fuss and knows her name, sit and paw. Bubbles can become quite excited when meeting people and may be bouncy, so her new family will need to help her practise some calmer greetings. She is also happiest around other dogs when they give her plenty of space and will let them know if they get too close, so she is looking for a home where she can enjoy being your one-and-only. Bubbles will need a patient and understanding home with a private, secure garden, as well as owners who are happy to walk her on lead and muzzle in public. She would benefit from quieter walking routes with green spaces where she can avoid busy areas and other dogs, and her family should feel confident advocating for her space. She isn't suitable to live with other dogs, cats or small furries, and would be best suited to an adult-only home. Bubbles is house trained and has shown she can settle nicely when left, although she will need time to adjust to her new surroundings and a gradual build-up of alone time. Her new family should also continue her positive muzzle training and give her the chance to move away and decompress when she feels overwhelmed. In return, they’ll have a loving, lively and wonderfully characterful companion who is ready to enjoy her next chapter! If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Bubbles, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Bubbles

What life with Bubbles looks like

Bubbles is a large senior bichon frisé dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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.
