Lady

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 18 years

Lady is looking for a home where she will feel safe, secure and loved. She adores cosying up to someone and soaking up all the attention. Lady is currently enjoying her time in a foster home while she waits for a permanent home. She enjoys her walks and plods along gently and slowly on her lead taking in all the sniffs of the local area. The way to her heart is food! She loves her food and treats! She has met several dogs while she has been in our care and she is happy to walk with them, interact with them gently, but is not overly fussed about being in their company. Lady is a beautiful eighteen-year-old Terrier cross looking for a peaceful, relaxing retirement home full of love and cosy home-comforts. She would be best suited as the only dog in the home and out and about having suitable calm, social doggy pals. She has no history with cats, small furries or livestock. She could share her home with secondary school aged children. She is friendly with visitors to the home. She travels well in the car and she is housetrained. Her ideal home would be a quiet household where she could soak up the most amount of company possible.

About Lady

What life with Lady looks like

Lady is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe in Ilfracombe.

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 Lady, answered.

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