Connie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Full of fun and affection, Connie is an American Bulldog currently being cared for by Wellingborough Dog Welfare (Wellidog) in Northamptonshire. She's just a wonderful, friendly and playful lady looking for her forever home. Connie is now 8 years old and has been in kennels far too long. She is such a lovely girl who is affectionate and playful. What a wonderful, bouncy, happy, young lady Connie is; she loves to play with toys. Connie's basic training like sit, etc., is there, but she is very strong on the lead so will need somebody who can hold her and live in a home that can manage this. She has come so far since she came into rescue and her manners have improved so much. Connie could live with teenagers but, unfortunately, she seriously dislikes other dogs and needs to be the only dog in the home. She is not used to living with cats. Connie is very clean in her kennel and just chills in her bed. She will need a firm owner with firm boundaries and she will respect you. She travels well and can be a bit squeaky, but she does calm down. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you could offer dear Connie her forever, loving home, please contact Wellidog as follows: Email: with a bit about yourself, children, working hours, etc. Please mention that you saw Connie on the Oldies Club website.

About Connie

What life with Connie looks like

Connie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

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.

🇬🇧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. The Oldies Club 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 — The Oldies Club 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 The Oldies Club 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.
