Ersin

Male · Young · 3 years

Hello all, my name is Ersin (which means "Brave Man" back in my home country of Turkey). I am hoping to find my forever home so that I don't have to pack my bags and move around any more.I am a very sweet, gentle and well mannered little lad who would love nothing more than to be someone's best little buddy. I will happily go for a little potter, enjoy a bit of play time and then have lots of fuss and attention. I am easy to manage on the lead, great to handle and I don't take much notice of anything that comes my way really. I am a little bit of a wimp though and don't enjoy the rain, getting wet, or walking through prickly grass or on rough ground. I love cuddling up in a nice soft bed and will prefer a quieter home without lots of commotion. I am Maltese x Shih Tzu so I will need grooming regularly. I have suffered with some terrible itchy skin in the past but the team here are helping me with that and my hair has already started to grow back and I'm feeling much more comfortable, but it will need ongoing care and attention.I will also need some help with my toilet training in my new home - I'm nearly there I promise but have never really been taught what to do regarding this - so patient and kind owners need only apply!

Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Ersin

What life with Ersin looks like

Ersin is a young adult dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Ersin, answered.

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