Adopt Joni

Beagle · Female · Senior · 10 years

Joni is a gentle 10-year-2-month-old Beagle cross with the sweetest soul and a serious love for the simple joys in life: sniffy walks, tasty snacks, and lounging on the sofa close to her people. She’s a shy girl at first, but she’s very people-orientated: she wants to be near you, looks to you for reassurance, and once she feels safe she relaxes beautifully in the home. Joni isn’t fussed about toys, but affection is the way to her heart as a calm, companionable presence who’s happiest pottering about and then settling in for a cosy snooze. Out and about, Joni’s friendly and interested in people, especially when she gets the chance to have a good sniff, and her favourite walks are anywhere with exciting scents. At home, Joni settles well overnight and has made it clear she’s a sofa girl rather than a dog-bed kind of lady. She’s food motivated and takes treats very gently from the hand, which makes confidence-building and training really rewarding. Joni can share her home with calm dogs and cats, and would suit adopters who love a slower pace and enjoy a dog whose idea of perfection is a long sniffy wander followed by a sofa nap. She will need gentle support to keep building her confidence. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady companion who’ll quietly steal your heart one sniff and one sofa cuddle at a time, Joni could be your perfect match. AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

About Joni

What life with Joni looks like

Joni is a senior beagle dog waiting at Dogs Trust Dundee in Dundee.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Joni, answered.

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