How do I contact the shelter about Martha?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Shoreham handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Martha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Martha if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Shoreham 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 Martha 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 Martha 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 Shoreham early rather than rehoming privately; they know Martha 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.

Martha

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel · Female · Senior · 10 years

Her gentle nature means Martha could happily live with sensible, dog savvy children aged 12 and over, and she’d love being a part of a family where her interactions are treated with respect and she can have space when needed. She enjoys the company of other dogs and could potentially live with another dog in her forever home, provided they have a similar calm and friendly nature. Martha is not particularly interested in toys and would much rather spend her time enjoying a gentle walk, relaxing with her people, or receiving a tasty treat. Martha is comfortable being left alone for short periods, although this will need to be built up as she settles into the home. Upon your return, she’ll probably be found snoring away on the sofa, content just taking life easy! A 10 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Martha is a wonderfully affectionate and sweet little dog who loves being close to her people. After arriving in her new foster home, it didn't take long for her to settle in and show her gentle, loving nature. Martha enjoys a steady routine and looks forward to her twice daily walks, happily heading out for around 30 minutes each morning and evening. She's not in a rush and prefers to take life at her own pace, making her a lovely little plodder who enjoys exploring the world one step at a time. She is friendly and well mannered around both people and other dogs, making her a delightful companion. In the home, Martha enjoys being close to her people and will often choose to settle next to you on the sofa. She is happy to share calm company and doesn’t tend to follow people from room to room, instead showing a lovely ability to relax and settle comfortably wherever she is.

About Martha

What life with Martha looks like

Martha is a senior cavalier king charles spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shoreham in Shoreham by Sea.

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.
