Adopt Mutley

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Say hello to our big, silly goofball boy, Mutley Sadly, Mutley arrived in our care through no fault of his own, as his previous owners were no longer able to meet his needs. Although he’s already a big lad, Mutley is just 10 months old, still very much a baby. He finds kennel life quite stressful and can often be heard crying in his kennel. At the moment he can be wary of new people, which is completely understandable given how overwhelming everything feels for him. Luckily, he’s easily won over with some tasty treats. Once he trusts you, his excitement takes over and his whole body, especially his bum, starts wiggling with happiness. He is incredibly loyal to those he is bonded with and likes to stay close at all times to his favourite people. Mutley is looking for an adult-only home initially, while he learns his manners and how to be a good boy. He has no real concept of his size yet and can jump up on his favourite people when he’s excited. Being so young, making friends is a big deal to Mutley but he certainly loves with all heart. It’s clear that Mutley hasn’t had much exposure to the outside world, which he currently finds overwhelming. This can lead to him biting at the lead on walks, but with consistent training and support from someone he trusts, he will over come this behaviour. He’s very food-motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement. He has shown great progress with his lead manners, he wants to please. Mutley may be able to live with other dogs, depending on introductions. He has seen other dogs while out on walks and tends to show a bit of interest before happily carrying on. He will need a home with a secure garden where he can burn off some energy and enjoy playtime. Mutley absolutely loves a game of tug and will happily boop his toy into your hand to ask for more. Ideally he would thrive in a rural setting as city life is a bit too much for him at the moment. If you’re a big dog person looking for a loyal companion and a best friend for life, Mutley might just be the dog for you. ‎walking like a good boy, showing off what i have learnt

About Mutley

What life with Mutley looks like

Mutley is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Cardiff Dogs Home.

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 Mutley, answered.

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