Eric

Maltese · Male · Young · 2 years

Everyone meet our next poundies …. Lizzy and Eric! ❤️‍🩹 These guys were strays who were dumped together and it’s clear they are the best of friends!🥰 Lizzy is a frenchie and Eric is a Maltese x poodle. They are so lovely. Eric relies on Lizzy for his confident and she loves his company. 🐶 In foster they are doing so well. Each day their confidence is growing and we are seeing their personalities more and more. They love having their fusses and cuddles in the evening after a busy day exploring.🐾 Both dogs like their walks, travel well and have been relaxing well. When they first arrived they were unsure of the world and so hungry. However they now understand there’s regular food and plenty of it, plus they are safe! 🥰 At the vets, they were good patients - both passed their healthchecks, started their vaccinations, have been flead, wormed and mircochipped. Both are booked in for neutering too. ✔️ Both have been fine around other dogs, however it’s clear they haven’t seen much of the outside world but they are taking it all in their stride. They could live with dog savvy children too.💚 Please share these lovely souls so they can find their happy forever after!🏡 Remember to complete the form below if you’re interested in adoption;

About Eric

What life with Eric looks like

Eric is a young adult maltese dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

An young 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 Eric, answered.

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