FIONA

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Adult · 4 years

Fiona is a Staffy cross who is approx 4 yrs old and is absolutely adorable. She is Staffy sized and has sadly had her ears ‘cropped’ at some point in her past, but she is thankfully unaffected by this. Fiona is a sweetheart – she is very friendly with everyone she meets. She is such a good girl in her kennel – she is immaculately clean, so appears to be fully housetrained. She settles well, is not destructive, and is not vocal. She would be fine to be left for around 4-5 hour periods in her new home. Fiona really enjoys getting out for her walks, and generally walks well on lead. She will need a pet free home – whilst she is not ‘reactive’ to dogs she sees on her walks, she is not comfortable and does not want other dogs in her space. All the more cuddles for her being the only girl though!! As we have no history, she needs a home with teenage children upwards. Fiona deserves to find a home who know and love bull breeds where she will be treated like the little Princess that she is. **

About FIONA

What life with FIONA looks like

FIONA is a adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Helping Yorkshire Poundies 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 FIONA, answered.

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