Minnie

Great Dane · Female · Senior · 9 years

Female9 years oldArrived 30th June (81 days ago)Being looked after by RSPCA Chesterfield rehoming centerLog number : D2026056We realise not everyone is in a position to adopt a companion, so why not take a look at our virtual adoption scheme …..Minnie … a large but gentle lady who loves her walks and of course a nice snooze! And she can potentially be rehomed to a dog friendly cat. Minnie is one of the dogs for whom we rent kennels; we also cover all veterinary costs, as we don’t have our own facilities. Minnie was being left for long periods of time without anyone to care for her … it was reported to the RSPCA that she had been abandoned – the Inspector had to put food through the letterbox. The owner turned up when the Inspector returned. However, the owner was really quite poorly and disabled, her condition deteriorating, she couldn’t easily gain access to the property and was really struggling with caring for Minnie, so she signed Minnie over for rehoming. She was already neutered and we have vaccinated and microchipped her..For more information about Minnie and to complete an online application form please go here: Share this page:

About Minnie

What life with Minnie looks like

Minnie is a large senior great dane dog waiting at RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton in United Kingdom.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Minnie, answered.

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