How do I contact the shelter about Cocoa?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Staffie Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cocoa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Cocoa if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Staffie 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 Cocoa 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 Cocoa 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 Staffie Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cocoa 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.

Cocoa

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Unknown · Puppy

August 2026 Cocoa's Story: Cocoa was rescued in the past by her surrendering owner, fearful and thin. He introduced to 2 other large breed dogs initially on a muzzle but then free range. A few set-toos with the older female dog (both were unspayed so hormonal) Cocoa did settle with the male but wary relationship with the elderly female. This owner sort out an urgent Rescue place for Cocoa due to his deteriorating health. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving her life. Rescue Remedies had Cocoa for an awhile as she was reactive to dogs but little behind it. We homed her in 2022 to John but sadly John died of a heart attack in May 26 so his sons returned Cocoa into our care. Cocoa is neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. Cocoa was in boarding kennels near Gatwick whilst awaiting her new family. If interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and sadly due to unprecedented interest, we will only be able to contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process. Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum adoption donation is £200. This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life. Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays. Cocoa's progress through our Rescue is below. We work with our do

About Cocoa

What life with Cocoa looks like

Cocoa is a large puppy/kitten staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Staffie Rescue in Surrey.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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.
