Adopt Ermintrude

Female · Young · 2 years

Willows heard of the 2 year old Ermintrude 5 days before she was to be sent to slaughter. Distraught and desperate to rescue her bovine friend from this awful fate, her saviour - a very distressed lady - contacted us at Willows. We had recently lost Arwen and this meant we had a space available. What better way to honour Arwen's life by saving another cow! We agreed that if ownership could be secured, we would take Ermintrude at the sanctuary. The lady was subsequently able to get ownership of Ermintrude - no mean feat in itself! She then organised transportation and signed her over to Willows. Willows is delighted to give this lovely, sentient being a lifelong home.

About Ermintrude

What life with Ermintrude looks like

Ermintrude is a young adult animal waiting at Willows Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Ermintrude far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧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 Ermintrude, answered.

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