Maisie

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Sadly after being in her home for 6 months and through no fault of her own, Maisie has been failed by her adoptee and is now back in our care looking for a home again. Prior to her adoption she had spent most of her life in kennels, arriving in our care at just 8 month old. Maisie is a lovely friendly Dutch Shepherd crossbreed and such a sweet loveable girl once she's gained your trust. This poor girl hadn't had much socialization which makes her anxious around strangers and unfamiliar surroundings. She will need an understanding, experienced, patient owner as she will need further training, guidance and confidence building. Maisie can not be left for long, she’s an intelligent girl that has so much potential and will make a fantastic loyal companion in the right home.

About Maisie

What life with Maisie looks like

Maisie is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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. Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity 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 — Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity 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 Barnsley and District Animal Rescue Charity 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.
