How do I contact the shelter about Honey?

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

Can I adopt Honey if I live in another country?

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

Honey

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 5 years

Honey is a super-sweet girl who has had a tough start in life. When she came into our care, sadly, she needed to have one of her legs amputated for medical reasons. This certainly hasn't stopped Honey from enjoying life — she still loves exploring, plodding along on walks and taking in everything around her. Her absolute favourite thing, however, is sitting on your lap and having a lovely snooze! Honey and Tia are very attached and have been kennelled together throughout their time with us, so they will need to be rehomed together. They truly rely on one another, and we are looking for a special family who will give them both the patience, reassurance and understanding they need to flourish. If you can offer Tia and Honey a calm, secure and loving home, and are prepared to take things slowly while they build their confidence, these two lovely girls could be the perfect companions for you. Adopters will need to meet the girls to multiple times here at the centre before going home and all medical will be discuss with any new adopters Tia, aged 8, and Honey, aged 5, are two very special girls who are looking for a loving home together. They have had a sheltered life and are understandably a little shy and worried when meeting new people, but once they get to know you, they soon come around. Tia is a sensitive soul who would benefit from a calm, patient and experienced family who can help her build her confidence and gently introduce her to the wider world. Both girls can be unsure when meeting other dogs and will need patient, positive introductions at their own pace. They cannot live with other dogs, cats or small furries, but they can live with secondary-school-aged children who understand that they may need space and time to settle. They currently cannot be left alone and will need a family who can be there to support them while they learn that the world is a safe place. A secure garden would be a real benefit, giving them somewhere safe to continue their housetraining, explore at their own pace and have a quiet area to relax.

About Honey

What life with Honey looks like

Honey is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dogs Trust Basildon in Wickford.

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.
