Adopt Connie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Connie is a wonderful girl who has so much potential. She loves to be around people and would thrive with adopters who can help her feel more settled. Connie is full of fun and loves to explore, so would make a wonderful adventure buddy! It would ideal for Connie to have access to places like a secure field where she can zoom and play without any worries. Beautiful Connie is a 1 year old Crossbreed who is ready to find her forever home. Connie has spent a short time in a home environment where she was mostly housetrained so she will need adopters who can help continue her positive training. Connie absolutely LOVES people and loves to make friends wherever she goes, and could live with confident children of 12+. Connie can find being home alone quite stressful and scary, so would love to find owners who can be home with her most of the time and gradually help her feel comfortable when being left. Connie is an enthuastic girlie who enjoys learning new things, especially if there are some tasty treats involved. She loves playing search games and using her nose to sniff out snacks! Connie also loves to play with her toys and soft ones are definitely a favourite! Connie must have access to her own safe and private garden where she can safely play and zoom around. Connie is looking for a home as the only pet where she can enjoy quiet and peaceful walkies in low dog populated areas. Connie can find seeing other dogs out and about a bit overwhelmed and can be vocal at times so she wears her muzzle out and about on her walkies. Her new family will need to feel confident managing this behaviour and working on her social skills with support from our team at the centre.

About Connie

What life with Connie looks like

Connie is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

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.

Note from the shelter: Separation anxiety, requires muzzle on walks, needs quiet low-traffic walking areas

🇬🇧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 Connie, answered.

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