How do I contact the shelter about Miffy (and Bruno)?

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

Can I adopt Miffy (and Bruno) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — National Animal Welfare Trust 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 Miffy (and Bruno) 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 Miffy (and Bruno) 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 National Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Miffy (and Bruno) 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.

Adopt Miffy (and Bruno)

Poodle · Male · Senior · 9 years

Hey there, I'm Miffy - my best pal Bruno and I are looking for a new home as sadly our beloved human Mummy has passed away, and her family, heartbreakingly, are unable to keep us.We are loving, loyal and kind, and very much a bonded pair, so really need a new owner who can take us both. We are so very friendly and great fun to be around so we are hoping it won't be too long before someone comes forward for us. In the meantime we are currently staying with the family, but all meetings will be conducted by the fab team here at the centre.We are a couple of sensitive souls and have been through a really traumatic time of late, in fact we could both tell how ill our lovely owner was and did get a bit stressed and start losing our hair. However, we are now getting back to our normal selves and feeling much better and looking forward to our next chapter. We have been enjoying getting back out on lovely walks and even having some runs on the beach which was great fun.We have been used to living with a cat and we got on just fine, and although it has been just us two dogs, we have been staying with another dog recently and have managed ok, so could possibly live with another dog in the future. We are great to manage on our walks and are nice and friendly with other dogs that we meet.With us being poodles we will need regular coat care, and are used to going to the groomers for a trim with no issues at all. We also love travelling in the car and happily sit on the back seat, so can join you on all sorts of adventures.We haven't lived with children, but have been around family members children regularly and we love them. We have been used to our owner being at home with us most of the time, so wouldn't suit a home where we would need to be left for long periods every day, but we do cope with a couple of hours here and there with no problems. You will generally find us curled up together having a sleep, we are like 2 peas in a pod! We will jump at the chance to sit on your laps or even sleep on your bed with you if we are allowed, so hopefully someone out there has the room in their hearts for a couple of gorgeous boys like us xx NAWT Cornwall Wheal Alfred Kennels Wheal Alfred Road Hayle Cornwall TR27 5JT Choose an item from our Amazon wish-list and it will come straight to us!

About Miffy (and Bruno)

What life with Miffy (and Bruno) looks like

Miffy (and Bruno) is a senior poodle dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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.
