Ivan

Male · Young · 3 years

Ivan is a goofy, affectionate boy who absolutely loves company and will happily lean in for cuddles. He’s very clever and enjoys using his nose — exploring, sniffing, and engaging in enrichment activities are some of his favourite things. He forms strong bonds and really benefits from having companionship, both human and canine. With time, patience, and a consistent routine, Ivan will grow in confidence and become a loving, loyal companion. If you’re ready to support a sensitive dog and help him find his feet, Ivan could be a truly rewarding addition to your home Meet Ivan, a sweet and sensitive approximately 3½‑year‑old Foxhound who’s looking for a calm, understanding home. He could live with secondary school aged children) and would benefit from living with a calm, confident dog to help build his confidence. Ivan would thrive with patient owners who can support his confidence building and ongoing training, especially around being left alone, car travel, and handling. He’ll need a secure private garden and access to quieter walking areas while he settles. Time alone will need to be built up gradually, as he currently finds this difficult.

About Ivan

What life with Ivan looks like

Ivan is a young adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Salisbury in Newton Tony.

An young 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 Ivan, answered.

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