John &#8211

Cocker Spaniel · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Meet John, a lovely bantam cockerel searching for a new flock of his own. He’s a handsome little lad with plenty of character and would love some ladies to keep him company. John can be rehomed on his own or with his friend Snow and could make a great addition to the right home and flock. If you’re looking for a friendly bantam boy or two to watch over your hens, John could be perfect for you. Please fill in a form for more information.

About John &#8211

What life with John &#8211 looks like

John &#8211 is a young adult cocker spaniel animal waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows John &#8211 far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧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 John &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about John &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Thornberry Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw John &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt John &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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 John &#8211 already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals 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 John &#8211 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 Thornberry Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know John &#8211 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.
