Margot

Female · Puppy · 11 months

Margot has already come out of her shell with her regular handlers and they absolutely adore her! She is very friendly and loves a good fuss from her friends. She really enjoys her walks and id very good on lead too. She is learning how to be around other dogs but is currently quite worried by them. She does not look for any trouble though and prefers to avoid them instead. She has clearly received no basic training so far so she will needs a little gentle guidance as she settles, which we're more than happy to help with. Having access to a secure garden will also help with her house training. So add Margot to your favourites if you like big, snuggly dogs and have time to do a little basic training and confidence building initially. Beautiful Margot is a 10 month old Dogue De Bordeaux who has had a very unsettled past and this has left her very timid and worried by the world. She's very shy when you first meet her, but if you take time and give her space to come round she will eventually show you the sweet snuggle monster underneath. She will need her new family to dedicate some time to properly settling her in and very slowly building her confidence with the world. To do this she will need a calm and predictable routine meaning she'll need to be the only pet in an adult only home, although calm older teens may be considered.

About Margot

What life with Margot looks like

Margot is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

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 Margot, answered.

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