Adopt Coco

Pointer · Female · Young · 3 years

Coco could live with children aged 13+. She could potentially live with other dogs, but no cats or small animals. Coco is a beautiful, active and intelligent girl. She is high-energy and needs a family who can keep up with her and provide her with plenty of both mental and physical stimulation, to keep her happy and healthy in both body and mind. She is a sweet lady who is very affectionate and friendly with her humans! She is boisterous and can be strong, so needs someone who is physically capable of managing her. She can get very excited when seeing other dogs and can become a bit silly and over-aroused. She will need a family who are capable of helping her work on calmer, more appropriate behaviours when meeting other dogs. If she was to go home with another dog, they would need to be well-matched and able to tolerate Coco’s daft, boisterous and excitable play / behaviours. Coco has tons of character and is great fun to spend time with. She has so much love to give and would love to go on lots of lovely adventures with her humans. We have no doubt she will make a wonderful addition to the right, dedicated family.

About Coco

What life with Coco looks like

Coco is a small young adult pointer dog waiting at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter in Newcastle.

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 Coco, answered.

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