Gino

Mixed Breed · Male

This change in circumstances is through absolutely no fault of Gino’s, and we’re hoping this friendly little chap won’t have to wait too long for someone to offer him a fresh start. Gino is a really nice, friendly dog who is comfortable being handled and touched all over. He’s housetrained, good on the lead and travels well in the car without getting sick. He’s also used to being left at home and copes well for reasonable periods. Like many Terriers, Gino does have a mind of his own occasionally! His recall isn’t always reliable, so his new family will need to continue working on this and keep him secure when out and about. He’s also something of an escape artist, which means a very secure, well-fenced garden will be essential in his new home. A little less dinner, a little more walking…there’s no delicate way of putting it – Gino is currently carrying rather too much weight! His new family will need to be committed to helping him reach a healthier weight through an appropriate diet and regular exercise. He has no known food intolerances, and we’re sure getting out for more walks and adventures will become an enjoyable part of his new routine. Gino has previously lived with another dog, but he can be possessive around food and has fought with another dog over it. For this reason, we’re looking for a home where Gino will be the only dog and his food can be carefully managed. He will chase cats, so he cannot live with cats, and we don’t know whether he has previously lived with any other types of animals. We also don’t have enough information about Gino’s experience around children, so we’d prefer an adult home for him. His new owners will need to understand his food guarding and be comfortable managing this appropriately, giving Gino his own space around meals and treats. Gino’s life has changed unexpectedly, and what this lovely little Terrier needs now is a safe, secure and caring home where he can settle into his new routine. He may need to lose a few pounds, brush up on his recall and resist the temptation to plan his next great escape, but underneath it all is a really nice dog who deserves the chance to be someone’s much-loved companion again.

About Gino

What life with Gino looks like

Gino is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Warrington Animal Welfare in Warrington.

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 Gino, answered.

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