Everyone meet our next resident …. Poppy!πŸ’• Poppy came in to our care due to her previous owners being unable to meet her needs. She is a high energy and clever lady who’s only just turned one year old. She is a springer x lab. 🐾🐾 This lady has been very friendly with everyone she meets humans and canines. She does need some more work on her basic manners and lead training however is very bright and picking it up well. She’s like a sponge! βœ”οΈ Poppy has ok recall and loves to play. A walk isn’t enough for this lady ste needs her mind and body exercising daily. She is great in the car and clean the house too. Previously she has been crate trained as well.πŸ‘ At the vets she passed a full healthcheck, she’s been flead, wormed, vaccinated, mirco chipped and had been spayed as well! Poppy has recovered very well! πŸ™Œ She’s settled well in to her foster home and we believe she could live with or without other dogs. Previously she had lived with smaller older dog without an issue. 🐾🐾 Poppy just needs to be busy. She could live with dog savvy children who are used to bouncy medium sized dogs! Poppy has previously lived with older children🐢 Please give this lady a share so she can find her forever home filled with adventures so she can have the life deserves!🏑 Remember to complete the form below if you’re interested in adoption;

About Poppy

What life with Poppy looks like

Poppy is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

An young 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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. Almost Home Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” 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 β€” Almost Home Dog Rescue 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 β€” 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 β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Dog Rescue 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 β€” 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.
