Daphne

Female · Adult · 7 years

One of the many things we love about Daphne is her wonderfully easy-going nature. She enjoys a game of ball, loves finding the comfiest spot in the house for a snooze and has definitely decided that sharing the bed is one of life's greatest luxuries! Like many Bull Terriers, Daphne has plenty of character and appreciates gentle, respectful handling, rewarding those she trusts with loyal companionship and endless entertainment. She'll thrive with owners who are happy to continue her lead training around wildlife and who will embrace everything that makes this lovely girl so special. If you're looking for a funny, affectionate companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Daphne could be the perfect addition to your family. Daphne is a 7 year old English Bull Terrier who brings a calm, steady presence and enjoys being part of everyday life. She’s happiest in the company of her people, whether that’s heading out for a walk, joining you on a day out or simply settling down nearby at home. She has good house manners, travels well in the car and can be left for a couple of hours. Daphne would like to be the only dog in the home, but she is relaxed and comfortable around other dogs when out and about and can enjoy calm walking company. She could live with older, sensible secondary school-aged children who understand her and respect her space. She is not suited to a home with cats or small furries due to her strong prey drive.

About Daphne

What life with Daphne looks like

Daphne is a large adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Daphne, answered.

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