How do I contact the shelter about Dixie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GSP Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dixie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dixie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GSP Rescue UK 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 Dixie 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 Dixie 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 GSP Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dixie 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.

Dixie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

13/10/22 Dixie is a beautiful 12 month old GSP X EP, she is a beautiful, playful youngster who has been living in a rural environment with her English Pointer mum and her sister who we have just found lovely new homes for and are settling in very quickly. Sadly their owners have had to make this decision to rehome them through ongoing ill health. Dixie is a smaller girl, confident full of energy, very loyal great with dogs, cats and other animals fine with sheep (so far) born and grew up on a small holding. She hasn't done much on a lead but getting very much better walking on a slip lead or a collar and lead. She has had basic training and is very eager to learn, she may not be completely toilet trained but again is quick to pick things up when encouraged. Great off lead and can be trusted on open ground. She Loves all toys and loves to be the centre of attention but equally as happy to chill out while having a fuss and cuddle after she had her exercise. She hasn’t been left on her own without the company of her sister, so another dog would be great to work as a playmate and mentor for Dixie. Meeting new dogs Dixie is very out there… she loves everyone and thinks she is the greatest thing in the world and everyone just loves her, she hasn’t met a dog she didn’t like. For our cat owners looking for a lovely dog, Dixie will happily share her bed with their 3 cats. Around livestock they have never had a problem she has been round sheep and horses since born. She loves all children but can be full on when wanting to play but a firm No and she will settel right down she does not snatch food ect just wants to be a princess and play with them. She has been living with children 5 years up to teenagers. She has a great recall on their private land but this hasn’t been tested elsewhere, Dixie travels well and enjoys trips out in her dads works van. Dixie is currently in Rhayader in Powys and will be rehomed with her 5 week free Agria insurance and our Adoption Contract. If you feel you can offer this gorgeous, happy, cat friendly pup a wonderful life please contact us.

About Dixie

What life with Dixie looks like

Dixie is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK 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.
