Narla

Female · Young · 2 years

Everyone meet our next poundie …. Narla!💔 This girl is heartbreaking and she one of the worst neglect cases we have seen a while!💔😓Narla is a 3 year old Chow Chow who was found dumped, it seems possibly by a breeder as others were found believed to be connected to her!💔 When we went to meet her, it was clear she needed that special AH touch. She couldn’t see, she was struggling to walk, extremely thin, dirty and very shut down!😓💔 We booked her straight in to our vets, via urgent appointment. It was clear from the straight this girl has suffered most of her life and it was slim chances of her surviving. 🤬😭 She was a super star, allowing us to test, scan and clean her up. We were sent home with medical and positive vibes that she would want to survive her abuse as an ex breeding female dog. As she was emotionally shut down it was hard to tell. 😓 We managed to find her a foster home and the rest was up to her. Thankfully, after a few long days, she was starting to understand she was safe and was eating and drinking! Allowing gentle ear rubs, learning about her surroundings. There’s still spirit in this girl!✔️💕 Now she’s enjoying small regular meals, taking her medications and enjoying company. She on tiny walks so help build muscle back up and had a check up where she had gained 3kg in a few days!❤️‍🩹 She has along way to go but we will keep you posted on her journey with us. Narla will be looking for a special place to call home when she’s ready. Which isn’t yet! 🥰 However the applications are open so you can apply but we will not be going through them until she tells us she’s ready!🏡 All medical issues will be covered by us. Once she’s fitter, she can started her vaccinations, be spayed and we can sort her eyes out. Which currently she’s on drops for but she is going to need double entropion on both eyes. Currently we are needing her to build strength and condition, she’s on antibiotics, steroids and eye drops. 💔❤️‍🩹 Please send all them positive vibes for our girl, she needs them!💚

About Narla

What life with Narla looks like

Narla is a very small young adult dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

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 Narla, answered.

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