Mr

Male · Young · 2 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled As he was a stray, we do not know if Mr Chips has been left home alone before. Any home alone time should be built up gradually, at a pace Mr Chips is comfortable with. Do I have any medical conditions? None This pet has a clean bill of health and can be fully insured after rehoming. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Mr Chips doesn’t appear to gain much from interacting with other dogs and prefers simply doing his own thing. For this reason, we feel Mr Chips would be happiest not greeting other dogs while out on walks. Instead, he will benefit from continuing his training to calmly disengage, walk past other dogs, and focus on enjoying his adventures with his people. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Mr Chips is friendly when meeting new people and will often approach with a waggy body and tail. However, he also has an independent side and isn’t constantly seeking attention. He loves spending time with his people and will happily ask for affection when he wants it, but he prefers fuss on his own terms and is happiest with people who respect when he’s had enough. He also enjoys learning and gets very excited when he’s rewarded for making good choices. If Mr Chips were to live with children in his new home, we would recommend that they are aged 13 or over. What type of environment would suit me? He will need his new home to have a secure, private garden where he can enjoy some off-lead zoomies and playtime. He loves toys, particularly flinging them around and zooming about with them. His favourites are definitely soft, squeaky teddies! About Mr Chips Meet Mr Chips! “Say what you see!” If what you see is a handsome lad with a toy in his mouth, a sparkle in his eye, and a love of cheese, then you’ve got the answer… Mr Chips! Mr Chips is a sweet-natured boy with a charming independent streak. He’s perfectly happy entertaining himself, and you could spend hours watching him launch his toys into the air, chase after them, and invent his own games. It’s impossible not to smile at his antics! When it comes to food, “It’s good, but it’s not right!”… unless there’s cheese involved! Mr Chips is a true foodie, and tasty treats make him a brilliant training partner. He’s eager to learn, loves earning rewards, and is always ready to show off his clever side when snacks are on offer. Like many sensitive souls, Mr Chips can sometimes find the world a little overwhelming. He’ll thrive with kind, patient people who can offer him reassurance when he needs it and help build his confidence at his own pace. Once he trusts you, you’ll have a loyal companion who’ll make every day brighter. So, “What do points make?” A forever home! And Mr Chips is hoping his next answer is finding the family that’s just right for him.

About Mr

What life with Mr looks like

Mr is a small young adult dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

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 Mr, answered.

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