Maymay

Husky · Female · Senior · 9 years

Meet Maymay our beautiful Husky. Maymay was previously rehomed and unfortunately returned through no fault of her own. Maymay is a very loving girl & affectionate girl who has experienced a lot of upheaval, and as a result can struggle with settling on her own. However we have found methods and comforts here at Battersea which can help support new owners when introducing her into a home. Maymay is a lovely Husky girl who is looking for experienced owners who have a good understanding & knowledge of breed traits and experience with training. Although she has shown some elements of sociability around dogs and can make friends nicely, she has also shown conflicting behaviours where she will approach but be quick to tell off. She prefers her humans and tends to be more independent around dogs. Despite finding kennel life very stressful, Maymay continues to be incredibly sweet with most people she meets and makes human friends very easily, though she has shown a worried side around a minority of unknown people. However with a little snack and toy play she warms up very quickly! A typical husky, she is clever, funny and cheeky. She loves to splash in paddling pools especially during the warmer weathers which is always joyful to see. She is a joy to walk and really enjoys getting out and about and she would love a new home where she can go on adventures and daily walks with her new family. Maymay is a very special, sweet and happy soul who loves life. She would love a new family and a comfy sofa to call her own. She is sure to make the most wonderful, loyal, loving and fun companion. Maymay is looking for committed owners in a quiet location and will need access to a very secure private garden. She will need more than one carer to manage some separation anxiety and would be best suited to a home without any children or other pets, If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Maymay, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Maymay

What life with Maymay looks like

Maymay is a medium-sized senior husky dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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.

Note from the shelter: Finds kennel life very stressful, can be worried around some unknown people

🇬🇧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 Maymay, answered.

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