Mitsie

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Puppy · 3 months

The only way to describe little Mitsie is our little pocket rocket miracle.Mitsie was given to an old man by a family member who just let's their female dog have litter after litter without a care where the poor babies end up. Mitsie who was only 6 weeks old and weighed just over 1kg was seen by a couple at their local coffee shop in the morning they left and the husband returned shortly after and the old man at the coffee shop asked if he had seen the pup. The man found this poor little baby laying in a corner behind a pile of crates. It was obvious that she was in pain and could not use her back legs.The couple contacted usand asked for help. The pup was rushed to our vets where after xrays she was found to have 2 broken back legs. We believe from the injuries she had been kicked so hard the force of the kick broke one of her tiny legs and knocked the ball joint out from the other.Our vet operated on her later that day.The operation was a great success and due to her age and the fact her tiny bones are still growing the bones have healed with no lasting effects.It's now time for Mitsie to find her forever home and loving family.Mitsie is now 12 weeks old and can fly in August.Mitsie is a little Jack Russell x full of life and a happy living little pup. She currently weighs 2kg and will be no more than 5kg fully grown and will remain small size. She is in a foster home with other dogs and despite her size she rules the roost.

About Mitsie

What life with Mitsie looks like

Mitsie is a very small puppy/kitten jack russell terrier dog waiting at Helping Hounds Hampshire in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Mitsie, answered.

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