Adopt Duffy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

From a physically shivering and petrified dog…. To a smiley, bouncy and never ending kissing dog…… her eyes say it all….. full of love. Our beautiful Duffy is such a sweet, obedient and charismatic soul who absolutely adores her human friends. She was returned to us last year and the transformation from the dog we met, scared and visibly shaking, to this happy, confident and very ready to love again girlie is so lovely to see. Duffy totally has her poses down and loves the camera, so capturing her pretty face is easy but as of yet she’s only had one meet. Making new friends is scary for Duffy but sausages and tasty snacks certainly help win her heart! Duffy needs to be an only dog and would love a person all to herself to give her heart too. She is coming up to 6 years old now and would really like to be cuddled up on the sofa, enjoying fusses and a relaxed pace of life…. Although watch out for those zoomies!! It’s a good thing she knows where her breaks are!! Located in Worcestershire Powered by Squarespace

About Duffy

What life with Duffy looks like

Duffy is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at High Hopes Dog Rescue 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 Duffy, answered.

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