Chocolate

Female · Young · 2 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled Chocolate has previously been left home alone in her last home, so she may be able to do this again once she has settled in. However, due to how nervous she is around new people and in new environments, she will need refresher training to gradually build up the amount of time she is comfortable being left alone. Do I have any medical conditions? History of Chocolate has reoccurring medical conditions, namely a skin allergy and ear infection that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Chocolate would need to be the only pet in her new home Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Chocolate is a very timid and sensitive girl who needs plenty of patience, understanding, and respect for her boundaries. Once you become one of her trusted people, she forms a very strong bond and is described as incredibly affectionate. She loves following her favourite people around the house and enjoys nothing more than a cuddle and a snooze on the sofa. To help her feel safe and secure, we believe Chocolate would be happiest in an adult-only home or with older, dog-savvy children (aged 13 years and over) who can give her the time and space she needs to build her confidence at her own pace. What type of environment would suit me? Being such a nervous lady she will need her own secure garden with solid fencing in her new home. This safe space is essential, as she needs the space for decompression and to build confidence with her new family without pressure. About Chocolate Chocolate is a gentle, sweet-natured girl who is discovering that the world isn’t quite as scary as she once thought. She can be shy at first and needs some time to build trust, but once she feels safe, she’ll start to come over for fuss and affection. Those moments make you feel like the luckiest person in the world. Chocolate is looking for a calm, patient home with someone who will give her the time and reassurance she needs to continue growing in confidence. With a trusted companion by her side, this lovely little lady is sure to blossom into a devoted and affectionate friend.

About Chocolate

What life with Chocolate looks like

Chocolate is a small young adult dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

An young 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 Chocolate, answered.

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