Dottie

Mixed Breed · Female

01/12/22 Beautiful Dottie is two years of age and her owners had to make the very quick decision to rehome her after a family member had a fall the same day that Dottie was bought and collected. We were asked if we could urgently help them. Fortunately a lovely lady offered to foster Dottie for us and find out more about her. Dottie was also in season at the time and that has now finished, so she will be neutered in three months time. We know that Dottieis a lovely girl and really enjoys the company of the majority of dogs and loves running with spaniel and larger size dogs, apparently she has previously lived with other dogs, although she does put her hackles up around the fosters Dachshund and similar size dogs. She has also happily lived with several children and more recently a teenager. Her foster mum said that she loved playing chasing with a family members springer and Lab in a secure field. But even on a long line she runs in circles. When she first arrived into foster she would pant, pace and circle constantly, she has relaxed as she’s started to settle in. She has now learned to sit and wait for her food, but can still jump up if really excited. She can do excitement wees on times and is learning to go outside to the toilet but after possibly being a kennelled girl, this is still a work in progress, but if she’s let out she will go to the toilet. She’s also found the joy of having treats as rewards, she’s gone from not touching treats to loving to earn them. Dottie doesn’t play toys, but given time she could realise how much fun they can be. Dottie has been left after exercise by her lovely foster mum after exercise, for 2-3 hours she cried and whined but then settled down in the kitchen where she’s been sleeping overnight. We don’t know how Dottie will behave around livestock or cats so we will err on the side of caution and say no cats and careful introductions to livestock will be needed. We are trying to find out more information about this gorgeous girl so we could update her post if we do. Dottie is currently in the Warrington area, she will be rehomed with her 5 weeks free Agria Insurance and our Adoption Contract. If you feel that you have the time and experience to invest in this lovely girl please contact us.

About Dottie

What life with Dottie looks like

Dottie is a 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dottie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dottie?
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 Dottie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dottie 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 Dottie 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 Dottie 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 Dottie 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
