Fox

Belgian Malinois · Female · Puppy · 9 months

Fox is a Shepherd lovers dream, she is cuddly, cute, playful, cheeky and super intelligent! But rest assured, despite all her wonderful qualities, Fox's breed type means that she needs to be stimulated and engaged in training, activities and enriched, she would love to be a running partner or even pick up a hobby like scent work or agility! Fox would be more suited to a quiet, more rural setting, as this is where she is currently and isn't used to the hustle and bustle of every day life of cars and chaos. Fox will need a family who are really going to commit to her, especially during her first few months where she will need time to settle into a new environment, get used to any time being left alone, which will need to be bult up slowly, as this will be new to her and generally adjusting to a whole new life, so please bear this in mind when taking on an active, young new dog and ensure you are committed to her, and in return, Fox could be your loyal new best friend and companion. This dog is currently being rehomed under our Homestay scheme. Under this scheme, the dog stays with their current owner until the point of adoption, when ownership transfers briefly to Dogs Trust and then to the new adopters. The benefits of Homestay for a dog are that it minimises disruption and prevents the dog having to come into kennels. Fox is a 7 month old Belgian Shepherd crossbreed, who, if we do say so ourselves, is absolutely wonderful, full of fun and mischief and did we mention beautiful too?! Given her breed and age, Fox will need an active new home where she can go on lots of adventures and keep busy, both mentally and physically. Fox gets on great with other dogs and could live with another dog in her new home, pending a successful meet between them. Any children in Fox's new home would need to be of secondary school age.

About Fox

What life with Fox looks like

Fox is a puppy/kitten belgian malinois dog waiting at Dogs Trust Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan.

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 Fox, answered.

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