Frankie Chi

Chihuahua · Male · Adult · 8 years

Frankie is a cloud of character with a loving personality. He loves to explore new places with the people he trusts nearby. Frankie enjoys the company of people and will give you a warm welcome by greeting you with his happy wiggles. Frankie will make a great companion; apply to adopt today! Meet Frankie, an 8-year-old Pomeranian X. Frankie can be worried by handling at times, so he would appreciate adopters who can understand his worries and move at his pace. He is suitable to live with secondary-aged children and has the potential to live with another well-rounded dog, pending meets at the centre. He could also live with a dog-savvy cat, pending a scent swap and other animals. Frankie can struggle with being left on his own, so he will need a home that has the ability to separate him from the front door.

About Frankie Chi

What life with Frankie Chi looks like

Frankie Chi is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

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 Frankie Chi, answered.

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