How do I contact the shelter about Hen and Hank?

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

Can I adopt Hen and Hank if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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 Hen and Hank 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 Hen and Hank 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hen and Hank 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.

Hen and Hank

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

If you are thinking about adopting a pair of oldies, you may want to read our article Are Two Oldies better than One? Hen and Hank are the best of friends and are looking for their forever home togther through Dogs Trust in Merseyside. They are currently in a foster home where they are proving to be the perfect house guests, but now need a home to call their own where they can spend the rest of their lives. Hen is a beautiful 11 yr old Whippet Cross. She is quite reserved, but also has a playful side to her nature, loving to play with her toys and enjoying snuggling up next to her humans on the sofa. Still active, Hen enjoys her walks and is friendly with people that she meets. She loves being with her Hank and will sometimes bark a little at other dogs but a treat will always distract her. She knows when she has had enough of a walk and is feeling tired and ready to head home to the couch. At bedtime she will make her way to her bed with her favourite toy. Hen is the sweetest most wonderful girl. Hank is a Lurcher and a little larger than Hen, but equally as adorable. He can be reserved at times, particularly around men, who he likes to take his time getting to know, but this is improving and once he feels safe around you, he loves being close. Like Hen, he loves his walks and his lead walking is also improving and he is pulling less. He's calm and and easy going and loves nothing more than snuggling up with Hen or next to his humans. He adores his food and will eat anything in sight !. He's not really bothered by other dogs that he meets, but when Hen barks he does like to join in. Hen and Hank are looking for a calm, peaceful home where they can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle together. They would be best suited to a household where any children are older and sensible of high school age. Both are housetrained and can be left alone for short periods (an hour or two), during which they settle nicely. They would thrive in a quiet environment with plenty of comfort and routine. Hen has a heart murmur for which she takes daily medication. They are an absolutely wonderful pair that really deserve a loving and kind home in which to spend their retirement years. ——————————————– If you can give adorable Hen and Hank their forever home, please contact Dogs Trust Merseyside as follows: Apply: via their website – click here Please mention that you saw Hen and Hank on Oldies Club website.

About Hen and Hank

What life with Hen and Hank looks like

Hen and Hank is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

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.
