Pippin

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Adult · 5 years

Pippin can be left for a few hours, but this would need to be built up slowly and only once she is comfortable in her new home. She is fully toilet trained, travels well in the car and is good as gold seeing the vet. Pippin would really suit a busier home, with a family who can take her on lovely adventures, go out about exploring and let her zoom around with her toys. She honestly is the sweetest girl, who just needs a loving family to call her own. Pippin is a lovely 5-year-old cockapoo, who is full of energy and absolutely loves everyone. She gets on well with everyone she meets, a real social butterfly. She can live with children age 7+, but can get jumpy and bouncy when playing, so a child who is confident around dogs is essential. Pippin can live with another dog in the home depending on a successful meet in the centre. She can bark at dogs from a distance and can get a bit worried if a dog approaches intensely or if they’re too much, but it doesn’t take long for her to gain her confidence around them. She lived with an older dog in her previous home and had no problems. Pippin absolutely loves her toys; she will happily go off and keep herself occupied with her toys. However, she can become quite obsessed with tennis balls, so just keep that in mind if you have them in the house as she will constantly roll them towards you to throw them if you have them around her, which will get tiring for both you and Pippin. Pippin is an energetic girl, who like a typical cockapoo can be a bit crazy at times, but she does settle well in the home, and she really is the cuddliest girl who loves attention and will curl up next to you on the sofa in the evening.

About Pippin

What life with Pippin looks like

Pippin is a adult cocker spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pippin, answered.

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