Adopt Lois

Staffordshire Bull Terrier Β· Female Β· Adult Β· 8 years

Meet our beautiful Staffie cross, Lois 🐾🩷 Poor Lois arrived with us through absolutely no fault of her own, and sadly she’s finding kennel life quite overwhelming. Beneath those soulful eyes is the sweetest, most loving girl who simply wants to be close to her humans πŸ₯Ήβœ¨ Lois absolutely adores people and will happily spend all day curled up on your lap soaking up cuddles, affection, and reassurance. She’s a real companion dog who just wants to love and be loved πŸ’• Whether it’s snuggling up on the sofa, following you around the house, or greeting you with the wiggliest tail, Lois has so much love to give. During her time with us, Lois has shown some signs of separation anxiety, which we completely understand after all the changes she’s been through. Because of this, we think she would truly flourish in a home where she has plenty of company, patience, and understanding while she settles in πŸ‘πŸ’— In return, you’ll gain the most loyal little shadow and a best friend for life. Lois deserves a family who will make her feel safe, cherished, and never alone again πŸΆπŸ’ž She has such a gentle, affectionate nature and we know that once she’s in a loving home environment, her little personality will continue to shine brighter every day β˜€οΈ

About Lois

What life with Lois looks like

Lois is a medium-sized adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at RSPCA Danaher Animal Home in Braintree.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Lois, answered.

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