Croissant

Chow Chow · Female · Young · 1 year

Croissant is the sweetest little pastry with plenty of personality! This fluffy, fabulous girl may be a little reserved when you first meet her, but give her time to rise and you'll discover a loyal companion with a playful spirit and a love of exploring. Independent by nature but full of quiet charm, Croissant is looking for a home that will appreciate her unique character! Croissant loves getting out and about, especially when she can follow her nose and investigate every interesting scent along the way. She enjoys meeting other dogs but can become a little overexcited if play gets too lively, so she's happiest keeping her canine friendships to walks rather than sharing her home. Once she trusts someone, Croissant forms lovely bonds and enjoys spending time with her favourite people, all while showing just how well she communicates when given the space to make her own choices. Croissant is searching for a calm home with teens and over, where she can be the only pet and enjoy a peaceful routine. A private, secure garden is ideal, as she'll need to stay on lead or a long line when out exploring due to her adventurous nature and love of chasing wildlife. With patient owners who will let her settle at her own pace, provide plenty of enrichment and enjoy quieter walks together, Croissant is sure to blossom into a devoted companion.

About Croissant

What life with Croissant looks like

Croissant is a medium-sized young adult chow chow dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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 Croissant, answered.

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