Flynn

Poodle · Male · Young · 2 years

Having had a very sheltered start to life, Flynn will need patient adopters who can give him the time and kindness to build confidence slowly and safely. A home with a secure garden is essential, giving him his own outdoor space while he learns about the world and continues his housetraining. Flynn is still unsure about things like lead walking and travel, so he needs adopters who are happy to take things step by step, introducing walks, car journeys and busier places gradually and positively. A quieter residential or rural location with low traffic would suit him best, and he could live with sensible secondary school aged children who understand when he needs space. Flynn will need to share his new home with another dog, ideally a calm, confident dog who can quietly show him the ropes and help him feel more secure. Flynn is a two year old Poodle cross looking for a peaceful, patient home where life moves at a gentle pace. Behind Flynn’s shy exterior is a lovely young dog just waiting to blossom. He can be nervous when meeting new people, so his new family should expect to keep visitors to a minimum at first while he settles. Flynn is an independent soul who enjoys choosing when to interact, making every little moment of trust feel extra special. He may not be interested in toys right now, but as his confidence grows there is every chance new hobbies and interests will emerge. Flynn is simply looking for patient adopters who will celebrate the small wins and enjoy watching him grow into himself.

About Flynn

What life with Flynn looks like

Flynn is a small young adult poodle dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shoreham in Shoreham by Sea.

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 Flynn, answered.

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