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 "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Dogs Trust Ilfracombe whether they will for Lady, what they require (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 Lady already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Lady. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Dogs Trust Ilfracombe, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lady isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Dogs Trust Ilfracombe about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
