Fonty & DIXIE

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

MEET FONTY & DIXIEFonty (9 yrs old) and Dixie (5 yrs old) are a devoted Mother & Daughter bonded pair. These absolute sweethearts have been through so much lately along with their owner who has owned them from birth and loved them very much. Due to an unfortunate change in circumstances the owner decided the best thing for them both would be to come to a foster based reputable rescue and we were more than happy to step in and help. They are now in foster in Doncaster and are every bit as sweet and lovelable as their owner described. They walk well on the lead, are great in the house and car, are very affectionate and absolutely no trouble at all. Because they are so bonded, they do get upset without each other and therefore we will not be splitting them up. So we are looking for a very loving home for both of them, with people around most of the day for company who can give them a couple of gentle walks in the countryside each day and love them for the rest of their lives. They are such gentle sweet girls and would suit a quieter home with or without another neutered dog. They have lived with cats inthe past but we haven't yet had the chance to cat test them to verify this. Any children would need to be over the age of 8. A fully enclosed garden is also a must. Both have visited our vets and have been given their first vaccination so far, been treated for fleas and worms and fully health checked and have a clean bill of health. Fonty and Dixie are now both spayed and ready for their forever home. Home checks, ID checks etc will apply. APPLY TO ADOPT

About Fonty & DIXIE

What life with Fonty & DIXIE looks like

Fonty & DIXIE is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Best Life Dog Rescue in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Fonty & DIXIE, answered.

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