Adopt Popcorn

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Popcorn is a Collie x Spaniel. Popcorn is a very loving and affectionate girl once she gets to know you. She can find it difficult to trust new people and therefore can be fearful of strangers. However, through time and patience once she feels safe she can build very strong bonds with those she knows she can trust. She would be seeking a home with no children or other pets. She would be best suited to a quiet home in an area where there is less traffic around as fast-moving and large vehicles can be overwhelming for her. Popcorn is very intelligent and just loves to learn new things, and shine during agility sessions which we would recommend continuing in the home. Popcorn will also benefit from working with a one to one trainer/ behaviourist in her new home to help her be the best she can be. She loves to get off lead in a enclosed field and bounce around like a pup again. She loves walks on the beach and in forests where she gets to smell all the new and wonderful smells, although she's not a fan of the sea just yet! Popcorn would really make a great companion for someone who is active and enjoys learning as much as she does. Although it may take some time for a dog like Popcorn to trust new people, once you have been welcomed into her inner circle you will have a bond and a best friend for life!.

About Popcorn

What life with Popcorn looks like

Popcorn is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Assisi Animal Sanctuary 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 Popcorn, answered.

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