Adopt Mowgli

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Mowgli’s story. Dumped as a very young pup Mowgli was literally reared with the foxes, he spent his early puppy life up in the carnmoney hills, lots of people were looking out for him and every fly he was trapped and came his way to join our family. He was and still is very nervous and shy, but with the love and dedication that the volunteers give him, we can see his beautiful wee soul and character shine. He still has his foxy ways. He'll slinky up to you for belly rubs, which he can't get enough of. But he's also happy just in your company, until he wants your attention and he'll do his foxy bounces. He's getting more and more confident on the lead and loves to sniff all the blades of grass, but again, he just loves being out and about with you. Mowgli’s gentle soul and good looks has won the hearts of the volunteers and the female pooches 🥰. Could he win yours 😘. Mowglie will blossom 🌸 into the perfect furry friend with someone who will give him a chance and also a female furry companion. ❤️ children. 16+ and a super secure outdoor space.

About Mowgli

What life with Mowgli looks like

Mowgli is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Mowgli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mowgli?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mowgli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mowgli if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mowgli 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 Mowgli 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mowgli 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.
