Plum

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Puppy · 2 months

This bundle of joy was born here at Danaher with his sister. His mum arrived as a stray and surprised us all with two beautiful presents! Plum suffered with some fluid retention in his face when new born which has left him with a mal-formed eye. Don't be fooled into thinking this might hold him back though! He is just as bouncy and full of energy as any 8 week old staffie pup! It is too early to fully tell yet how this eye might have been affected but if necessary we will cover the operation if it needs to be removed. Growing up in the kennels has brought it's own trials and tribulations. Despite giving him all the socialisation we can, the logistics of kennel life along with his mum's nervousness means Plum will need lots of socialisation and positive experiences in the next few months to ensure he grows up as confident as he can be! Staff are here to ensure the animals find homes which suit their needs. Most animals in our care have not had the best start in life and may require special care or training. We will assess your experience and assist you in finding the right pet for your home. Although we want to start their new life with you as quickly as possible, our re-homing process can take a few weeks from start to finish. The process is as follows: Browse our website to find your perfect new furry family member. All animals we have available for rehoming are listed on our website, which is updated daily.

About Plum

What life with Plum looks like

Plum is a medium-sized puppy/kitten staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at RSPCA Danaher Animal Home in Braintree.

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 Plum, answered.

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