Adopt Mary

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Introducing lovely Mary. This beautiful girl is 3 years old (as of October 2023) and very friendly with people. She is a large size - 20kg. Mary is a very sweet, kind and friendly dog. She has fantastic recall and will sit, she’s very quick and learns expectations instantly - going to her crate to eat, her room when asked and outside on command. Mary isn't always clean at night but generally very good and eats anything but doesn’t scrounge from others. She is persistent for treats though, sitting in front of you or walking backwards on her back legs. She had a phase of barking at night but it was very short lived and she now knows the routine for bed and is quiet all night. No health problems. Her sight isn’t absolutely perfect but I’d say she’s got slight shortsightedness if anything, she just misses things coming toward her occasionally, you don’t see it I’d you’re not looking for it Desperate to please, to be with you and loved She gets on with the male dog in her foster home, so could possibly be homed with another male but preferably as an only dog

About Mary

What life with Mary looks like

Mary is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Blind Dog Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

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 Mary, answered.

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