How do I contact the shelter about Freya?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Newbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Freya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Freya if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Newbury 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 Freya 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 Freya 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 Newbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Freya 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.

Freya

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Senior · 12 years

Freya is a gorgeous 12-year-old Cockapoo with an enthusiasm for life that certainly doesn't match her age! She's full of energy, loves to play, and can even jump surprisingly high when she's excited to see you. Freya is looking for a forever home with her best friend, Tilda. The pair share a close bond and must be rehomed together, so we're searching for a family who can offer them both the love and companionship they deserve. Currently living in foster care, Freya has settled well into home life. She enjoys spending time out in the garden, where she can explore, sniff around, and soak up the fresh air. Freya would thrive in a home where she can continue to be part of everyday family life. She has so much love to give and, alongside Tilda, will make a wonderful addition to a home that can offer plenty of companionship, affection, and a comfy spot to relax after a busy day. Freya and Tilda share a very special bond and are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. We are searching for adopters who are happy to welcome a pair of dogs into their lives and can give them the time, patience, and companionship they deserve. Their ideal home would be a quieter environment where they can settle at their own pace and continue to grow in confidence. They cannot live with any other dogs or animals, so they will need to be the only pets in the home. Freya does have some ongoing medical considerations as she currently has low grade mitral valve disease which we can discuss in more detail with you if we find you to be a match . Freya and Tilda could live with sensible children aged 14 years and over who understand when the girls would like some quiet time. Their new family should also be willing to continue building their confidence through gentle, positive training and encouragement, helping them feel safe and secure as they adjust to their new surroundings. Once they have had time to settle and their leaving routine has been built up gradually, Freya and Tilda should be comfortable being left for around 1–4 hours.

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is a senior cocker spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Newbury in Newbury.

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.
