Flo

Belgian Shepherd · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Flo is an affectionate, playful young puppy who loves fuss, toys and exploring. She is likely a Belgian malinois cross, and new owners must do their breed research prior to enquiries. She is an active and lively puppy and so her new family will need to be prepared to provide regular age-appropriate activity and enrichment as she grows. Flo needs time, supervision and consistent guidance appropriate for a growing under-socialised puppy. She is still learning about the world and can be a little nervous and even reactive at times so will benefit from a patient home that can help her build confidence through positive training and gradual introductions to new people, dogs and places. Flo is still learning to feel comfortable with paw handling and being guided by her collar, although she enjoyed her bath and grooming session. This lovely pup is looking for a home with a garden for training & could potentially live with sensible teenagers. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Flo, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest. ch for the dog in question.

About Flo

What life with Flo looks like

Flo is a medium-sized puppy belgian shepherd dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Flo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Flo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Flo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Flo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Flo 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 Flo 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 Battersea Dogs & Cats Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flo 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.
