Adopt Maisie

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 5 years

Maisie is a wonderful, lovable girl who has so much to give and doesn't want for much, mostly a lap to cuddle on and company. Maisie will time some time to settle her in new home and learn her new routines, as well as be given time before being left home alone as this will be new to her and scary initially. Maisie does get a little worried when travelling in the car but it is manageable and we will need her new home to continue with training and building this up slowly over time. Maisie loves treats and enjoys chasing after her favourite rubber toy ball in the garden. If Maisie sounds like your new best friend then pop an application form in today! Maisie is a sweet almost 6 year old Chihuahua cross Pug who is looking for a new home to call her own where she can have lots of cuddles! Maisie can be a little bit wary initially but quickly warms up. Maisie doesn't want or need too many walks or adventures but does like to get out and about and sniff and potter. Maisie would like to be the only dog in her new home but can happily have dog friends out and about. Any children in her new home would need to be 11+ who can give her some space to initially settle.

About Maisie

What life with Maisie looks like

Maisie is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dogs Trust Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan.

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" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧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 Maisie, answered.

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