Poppy

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Senior · 16 years

Poppy is a sweet, timid girl. She can be worried by new experiences and new people. Once she knows you, she enjoys a gentle fuss. Poppy would like a family that are happy to let her explore her new home and come out of her shell in her own time. Poppy is 16 year old Terrier X who has lived quite a sheltered life so far. She is looking for a patient and understanding home that understand her nervous nature and can allow her to settle into her new home at her own pace. Poppy has come from a home with other dogs but can be avoidant so would like to be the only pet in her new home to help her settle in. Any dog interactions should be carefully managed as she has not been used to meeting unknown dogs. Poppy is a sweet girl but can be worried by new people so any children in the home should be of Older Secondary School age who can appreciate her nervous nature. Poppy will need her own secure garden to provide her a safe space while she is building confidence with the outside world as it will be a while before she is ready to go on walks. Once settled leaving hours could be built up.

About Poppy

What life with Poppy looks like

Poppy is a senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Snetterton in Snetterton.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Poppy, answered.

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