Jade

Female · Adult · 5 years

Jade loves nothing more than cuddling on the sofa and is an expert at snuggling down under blankets and keeping warm and cosy completely covered up! What Jade doesn't like, is being cold and the rain! Jade is pretty much good at toileting outdoors, however, if it is raining, she may need you to hold her hand and take her out on the lead to encourage her to toilet. Jade has a low grade luxating patella but this is not bothering her or has no action needed currently but would need to taking into account for future. Jade is a 5 year old Dachshund who has come to us as a stray so we are unsure of her past, but we do know that she is the most affectionate, loving girl and is going to make someone very lucky! Jade doesn't need a huge amount of exercise but does enjoy her walks. She could live with another friendly dog pending a successful meet here at the centre and children of older primary age.

About Jade

What life with Jade looks like

Jade is an extra-large adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan.

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 Jade, answered.

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