Adopt Mosley

Chihuahua · Male · Young · 3 years

Mosley is our 3-year-old Jack Russell x Chihuahua who is looking for a calm home where he can really build his confidence. Once he gets to know you he’ll show you his affectionate side where he’d happily sit on the sofa next to you. He also loves to play with his toys. He enjoys his walks in quieter areas and is happy travelling in the car for adventures further afield. He has so much potential and has shown to be an amazing boy. He is currently enjoying his home comforts in a foster home and so isn’t currently at the centre. Mosley is looking for dedicated adopters that are happy to commit to his ongoing training. He's best suited to being the only pet in the home, but he has more than enough love to give all by himself! Mosley can be reactive towards other dogs, often being overwhelmed when he sees them from quite a distance away. Due to this, Mosley would like access to a private secure garden so he can zoom around with his toys, this will be especially important as Mosley should be kept on his lead out and about. Mosley would suit a home that has access to quiet walks away from highly dog populated areas and away from busy main roads. Mosley can live with children of a secondary school age and above. He can be left for a few hours when settled.

About Mosley

What life with Mosley looks like

Mosley is a young adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

An young 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 Mosley, answered.

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