Phineas

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Adult · 6 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs some support Can I be left alone? Yes As Phineas is a stray, we don’t know whether he’s been left home alone before. After an initial settling-in period, his home alone time can be built up gradually from scratch. Do I have any medical conditions? History of Phineas has historic medical concerns, namely being underweight, cataracts and diarrhoea, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome this pet and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical concern, be that historic or ongoing, is discussed with your own vet prior to any book out appointment. 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 Phineas prefers his people rather than other dogs and would rather stay away from them. He would like to be the only pet in his new home. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Phineas can be quite shy when he first meets someone new but it doesn’t take him long to make friends. He would be best with children aged 8 years and above who will be gentle with him and can read his body language when he’s feeling worried. What type of environment would suit me? Phineas needs a private, secure garden where he can roam around safely. About Phineas Meet Phineas, a little guy with a big personality! This guy is looking for a home to settle down in and enjoy a laid-back life with people who will give him lots of attention and fuss. Phineas is slightly visually impaired and relies on his people to lead the way.

About Phineas

What life with Phineas looks like

Phineas is a large adult yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Phineas, answered.

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