Mr Biggie

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

🐾 Meet Biggie – Looking for His Forever Home 🐾 Biggie, or Mr Biggie as we like to call him, is an adorable 9 year-old British Bulldog with the happiest, most lovable face. ❤️ He might look like a tough guy, but don’t let appearances fool you — Biggie’s favourite things in life are cuddles, hugs and giving the biggest, slobberiest kisses! 😘 Biggie arrived with us back in June in really poor condition, but he has come such a long way. He had a small lump removed from his leg, which has healed beautifully, and he is now ready to find the loving retirement home he deserves. Being a chunky boy with those lovely short legs, Biggie isn’t looking for long adventures. He enjoys shorter walks, plenty of sniffing and lots of relaxing time — preferably somewhere comfy! 🥰 He is a real gentleman who: 🐾 Walks beautifully on a lead 🚗 Travels well in the car 🐶 Gets on brilliantly with other dogs ❤️ Loves people, cuddles and attention Biggie has so much love left to give and we would love to see him spending his golden years surrounded by people who adore him. Could you make a little room on your sofa and in your heart for Mr Biggie? ❤️ He really does deserve to know what it feels like to have a family of his own. 🐾🏡

About Mr Biggie

What life with Mr Biggie looks like

Mr Biggie is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 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 Mr Biggie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mr Biggie?
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 Mr Biggie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mr Biggie 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 Mr Biggie 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 Mr Biggie 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 Mr Biggie 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.
