Knucksie

Male Β· Adult Β· 6 years

Everyone meet our next resident … Knucksie!πŸ’š This lad sadly came in to our care due to his owner being unable to care for him anymore. The family did try to keep him but sadly their households were too much for him! πŸ’”This wasn’t an easy decision for them but it was the right one for Knucksie!β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή Since arriving in our care, he’s been a sweet lad who’s a little shy when he first meets you. However it doesn’t take long for you to win him over!πŸ₯° Currently he’s in foster with a large breed lurcher and he’s adapted well. However he could live as only dog as well! He is happy to say hi or ignore others when out and about walking!🐢 Knucksie is 5 years old and a terrier mix. He is great at travelling and adores his walks! He walks well on lead and is always happy to go out on an adventure!🐾🐾 At the vets, he passed a full healthcheck and has started his vaccinations, been flead, wormed and booked in to be neutered! βœ”οΈ In the home, he has been good house guest and in typical terrier style explored every inch! He is housetrained and loves a fuss after a busy day!πŸ’™ Please share this lovely lad so he can find a calm yet active home where he can have plenty of adventures with his humans!🏑 Remember to complete the form below if you’re interested in adoption:

About Knucksie

What life with Knucksie looks like

Knucksie is a large adult dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

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 β€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Knucksie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Knucksie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Knucksie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Knucksie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Almost Home Dog Rescue 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 Knucksie 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Knucksie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Knucksie 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 β€” 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.
