Dandelion (Dandy)

Cocker Spaniel · Male · Adult · 5 years

Dandy is a super affectionate and fun little lad. He loves a cuddle on the sofa and likes to be close to his humans, and a lap is one of his favourite places! He gets very excited to go out for a walk, and can walk well on lead, although he's a bit pully when excited, so some loose lead training would be useful once settled. He loves treats and balls so either could be used to help him learn, and he already knows some basic commands. He could share his home with another dog who understood that he's not always wanting to play, and does sometimes like to do his own thing. Dandy would make a great walking companion - he's full of energy and loves to be outdoors. He could share his home with children aged 8 and over who are confident around enthusiastic, bouncy dogs, and once settled in the home could be left for 2 or 3 hours, alhough when first adopted he is likely to be quite clingy and unsure. He's been fully house trained in his foster home, and will ask to go into the garden where he loves to bury his toys and treats! He's happy to meet dogs out on walks, and will say hello nicely, but doesnt like them to be too over the top, and prefers a quick greeting then will walk on to find more sniffs and fun. Could you offer Dandy the home he's seeking? Dandelion (aka Dandy) is a delightful little 5 year old spaniel. He could share his new home with a calm dog, of a similar size and nature. He would need his own garden to relax and play in, and could live with older primary school children used to playful, bouncy dogs. Once settled he could be built up to being left for a couple of hours. Dandy loves his walks and is a high energy boy, always up for a game of ball or chase, and loves his toys. He travels well in the car and would love to go out visiting places for new sniffs and adventures. He is worried on seeing the vet, so new adopters would need to support him with this.

About Dandelion (Dandy)

What life with Dandelion (Dandy) looks like

Dandelion (Dandy) is a adult cocker spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Snetterton in Snetterton.

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 Dandelion (Dandy), answered.

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