Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON)

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 7 years

Hi, I’m Holly! 🐾 I’m a 7 year 2 month old ShiChi, and if you’re looking for a sweet little companion with lots of love to give, then I could be the girl for you! I can be a little shy when meeting new people and sometimes need a bit of time to get to know you. I like to take things at my own pace and build my confidence before showing my true personality. But once I’ve decided you’re one of my favourite humans, you’ll see a completely different side of me! When I know you, I get so excited to see you that my whole body seems to wiggle with happiness. I love having visitors and getting attention from the people I trust. The kennel team say it’s one of the loveliest things about me. I’m also a big fan of cuddles. There’s nothing better than spending some quality time with my favourite people and soaking up all the fuss and affection they have to offer. Don’t let my age fool you either – I still have a playful side! Sometimes when someone comes into my kennel to spend time with me, I get so excited that I start play bowing and zooming around to show just how happy I am. It’s my special way of saying, “I’m so glad you’re here!” Now, I do have one little habit that might sound familiar to anyone who loves small dogs – I can be a bit barky when I’m out and about and see other dogs. I’m a typical little dog who likes to make my presence known! But please don’t let that put you off. I’m currently living with some of my doggy family members who are also looking for homes, so I may have the potential to live with another dog following successful introductions. When it comes to cats, I’ve never actually met one before, so the kennel team aren’t sure whether I’d be able to live with a feline friend or not. I’ve also been around children before and have enjoyed being part of family life, so a family home could be a lovely match for me. As always, any children should be respectful and understand that I may need a little time to get to know them first. The kennel team are still getting to know me, so as they learn more about my personality, likes, dislikes, and ideal home, they’ll be sure to update my profile with even more information. I’m looking for a patient and loving family who will give me the time I need to settle in and let my confidence blossom. Once I trust you, I promise you’ll gain a loyal little friend who will greet you with excitement, shower you with affection, and keep you smiling every day. Could I be the perfect addition to your family? My adoption fee is £260. Love, Holly ❤️🐶

About Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON)

What life with Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON) looks like

Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON) is a large adult chihuahua dog waiting at Rain Rescue in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rain Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rain Rescue 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 Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON) 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 Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON) 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 Rain Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Holly – 7 year old Female (AVAILABLE SOON) 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.
