Franklin

Cocker Spaniel · Male · Young · 3 years

Franklin doesn't enjoy the company of other dogs at the moment, so would be best suited as the only pet in the home. Any children should be sensible and confident around dogs, and around secondary school age. This fun-loving boy is quite cuddly once he gets to know you, and he also loves making a splash in any puddles! Franklin is well-suited to life in Scotland as he's always raring to go, no matter what the weather. Our vets have identified some stiffness in his back legs, but this can be discussed in more detail prior to his adoption. Animal Welfare licence number is AWE02, as licenced by Glasgow City Council. Franklin is the most handsome spaniel we ever did see, if we say so ourselves! He's a 3 year old Cocker Spaniel with hair to rival David Beckham, and a nose to rival any hound! Franklin is a typical busy body and loves to be on the go - mentally and physically. His favourite activity is scent work and his tail doesn't stop wagging as he searches for his favourite toy! A family that are happy to take Franklin on stimulating walks, or activities like man-trailing would be perfect!

About Franklin

What life with Franklin looks like

Franklin is a young adult cocker spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Glasgow in Glasgow.

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 Franklin, answered.

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