Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON)

Chihuahua Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 7 years

Hi, I’m Buddy! 🐾 I’m a 7 year 2 month old ShiChi with a heart full of love, and if you’re looking for a cuddly companion, then I think we might be the perfect match! I can be a little nervous when meeting new people at first, but it doesn’t take me long to realise that most people are actually pretty wonderful. Once I’ve had a chance to get to know you, my affectionate side comes out in full force, and you’ll soon have a loyal little shadow by your side. The kennel team say I’m one of the cuddliest boys around. I absolutely love being held and snuggled up close to my favourite people. If you’re sitting down, there’s a good chance I’ll be trying to find my way onto your lap for some quality cuddle time! And if that wasn’t enough, I’m also very generous with my kisses – I love giving little licks to the people I care about to show them just how much they mean to me. I’m currently living with my doggy family, so I may be able to live with another dog in my new home following successful introductions. Like many little dogs, I can be a bit barky when I’m out and about and spot other dogs. I like to make sure everyone knows I’m there! But please don’t let that put you off. I’m a lovely boy underneath it all and have happily lived with other dogs before. I’ve never met a cat, so the kennel team aren’t sure whether I’d be able to live with one or not. I’ve also been around children before and enjoyed being part of family life, so I could potentially live with children who are respectful and understand that I may need a little time to settle into my new surroundings. The kennel team are still getting to know me and will update my profile as they learn more about my personality, likes, dislikes, and ideal home. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate boy who loves cuddles, being held, and giving kisses, then I could be the one you’ve been waiting for. Could you be my forever family? My adoption fee is Β£260. Love, Buddy ❀️🐢

About Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON)

What life with Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON) looks like

Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON) is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at Rain Rescue in United Kingdom.

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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rain Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Rain Rescue 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 Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON) 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Rain Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Buddy – 7 year old Male (AVAILABLE SOON) 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 β€” 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.
