How do I contact the shelter about Our Charity Shops?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Our Charity Shops on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Our Charity Shops if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope 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 Our Charity Shops 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 Our Charity Shops 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 Hope Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Our Charity Shops 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.

Adopt Our Charity Shops

Mixed Breed · Unknown

We have charity shops in Merthyr Tydfil, Pontyclun, Blackwood, Cowbridge, Talbot Green and Pontypridd, raising funds for the dogs in our care. Our shops sell everything from new dog products, clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories, to digital and printed media, household items, small pieces of furniture, electrical items and children's toys. Don't forget to check out our popular Handmade by Hope range. Your dog is of course more than welcome to shop with you! Click or tap the images to view more about each charity shop We would be pleased to take in your donations at our shops between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday (You can also donate at Pontypridd from 10am to 4pm most Sundays). To help us save costs, we need to make sure that the donations we receive are saleable. Donations must be clean, in good condition, and free of odours please, to enable us to display them for sale. If not, we would be really grateful if you could recycle or dispose of them at home. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept donations of duvets (used), large furniture items and media cassettes (audio or VHS). This is due to constraints of space and the cost of disposal for these items. Please keep in mind that Taff Street in Pontypridd is pedestrianised between 11am and 3pm Monday to Saturday. Therefore, if you need to drop off donations from your vehicle outside of our shop, you should avoid these times. If you’re unable to visit one of our shops, you can also drop off items at our rescue centre although space is more limited here. We are unable to collect donations at the current time. Our eBay shop help us ensure we get the best possible return for our dogs from your donations, especially collectable and valuable items that may not attract the best price in one of our shops. Our eBay donations are processed at our Blackwood charity shop, and can be dropped off at that location, or to our rescue centre shop in Llanharan.

About Our Charity Shops

What life with Our Charity Shops looks like

Our Charity Shops is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope Rescue in Pontyclun.

An 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.
