Cheerio

Cavapoo · Female · Adult · 5 years

Cheerio came in on the 4th of September via another rescue. She was an unclaimed stray and arrived with seven, one day old pups. She is a very sweet girl who is quite shy to begin with but very affectionate once she trusts you. Cheerio loves her food and this is a good way to make friends with her. She will need an active home and someone with time to put into her training. Cheerio can be quite sound sensitive so would prefer a quiet home environment. Cheerio may be able to live with another dog after successful introductions at the shelter. She would be too nervous for young children. Cheerio is not quite ready to go to her new home as she has just finished weaning her pups. Scroll through the gallery of images above or click to open Not ready to adopt?

About Cheerio

What life with Cheerio looks like

Cheerio is an adult cavapoo dog waiting at RSPCA Brighton & The Heart of Sussex 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" — 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 Cheerio, answered.

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