Chino

Shih Tzu · Male · Adult · 4 years

Chino has a wonderful way of making people smile, whether he’s proudly parading around with his favourite teddy bear or gently nudging you for some snuggles. He loves being around people so much that he would like his family to be around all the time as he struggles when home alone. Chino will jump into a car but is known for being vocal during travel. With a family that will understand and listen to him Chino is going to make a brilliant companion. He loves being part of the action, joining in games or simply keeping you company during quieter moments. Meet Chino, our charming Shih Tzu x Jack Russell. He has been good meeting new faces and it doesn’t take him long to jump on your lap. However he’s also worried by handling, and so is looking for an adult-only home who will understand this. A secure garden of his own will be essential so that he can spend time outside without needing to have his lead and harness on if he's finding this a bit stressful. Chino enjoys the company of other dogs out of his kennel but does get conflicted. He’s not ready to share his home with another dog yet, but is working on this. Chino has lived with cats before and was playful with them. He could live with cats again in a home that can take introductions gradually, keeping them separate to begin with.

About Chino

What life with Chino looks like

Chino is a small adult shih tzu dog waiting at Dogs Trust Evesham in Evesham.

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.

Note from the shelter: Nervous at vet visits, requires muzzle for safety and comfort during examinations

🇬🇧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 Chino, answered.

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