** APPLICATIONSCLOSED** GIZMO

Mixed Breed · Male

**APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED – THANK YOU FOR ALL ENQUIRIES ** Gizmo is a tiny Chihuauha weighing just 1.7kg, who is approx 10 ish yrs old (we don’t know his exact age as he came into our care as a stray, and was not microchipped). He is a very sweet little man who is looking for a 5* Chihuahua knowledgeable home who know and love his fabulous breed. Gizmo is in foster with cats and rabbits, and is absolutely fine with them now he is used to them. He is a little character now that he has come out of his shell – he would rather sneak the cats food than his own dog food, and loves a cup of tea given the chance!! Gizmo will scent mark in new places – this will improve once he has been neutered, but for now we would recommend that he wears a belly band when he moves into a new home until he is used to his new environment. He bonds closely and will pick a favourite person, and then can get a little protective over them if someone else approaches on the sofa, but this is easily managed and n

About ** APPLICATIONSCLOSED** GIZMO

What life with ** APPLICATIONSCLOSED** GIZMO looks like

** APPLICATIONSCLOSED** GIZMO is a very small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Helping Yorkshire Poundies in United Kingdom.

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 ** APPLICATIONSCLOSED** GIZMO, answered.

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