Connor

Akita · Male · Senior · 9 years

Connor and Luna are looking for a home where any children are of secondary school age and above who can respect their space. Theyd love to be the only dogs living in the home, although they can continue to enjoy social interactions with other dogs on walks. They are unable to live with cats, and any small furries should be kept separate. Their adopters will also need to manage feeding times, as Connor is very food motivated and is known to help himself to Luna's meals if given the chance, so the pair should be fed separately. Together, they are a lovely pair who will bring plenty of companionship and affection to their new home. Meet Connor and Luna, a wonderful pair of 9 year old Pomeranian x Malamutes looking for a home together. These sweet and affectionate dogs share a close bond, with Connor often taking confidence from Luna when faced with new situations. Luna is a real people-lover who enjoys climbing onto your lap for plenty of fuss and attention, while Connor can be a little more cautious in new situations favourite people once he has settled. They enjoy polite sniffs and occasional greetings with other dogs.

About Connor

What life with Connor looks like

Connor is a small senior akita dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Connor, answered.

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