Adopt Pringle

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Young · 2 years

Personality:Meet Pringle, our gorgeous sweetheart who despite her difficult start has been doing amazing making new friends since her arrival at the ark. She has been learning to keep calm around people as it can get a little overwhelming for her, Pringle is finding kennel life a little stressful and so can’t wait to find her forever family! Behaviour:Pringle has had a rough start in life and because of this can find things a little overwhelming at times. She can be over-enthusiastic when it comes to people and interacting so we have been teaching her how to settle and be calm which can be handed over to her new family. Pringle is interested in other dogs though can be a little intense at times and would benefit from some training in regards to learning her manners around them. She will need adopters who can physically manage her as she also has a very high prey drive and will pull after wildlife – even attempting to climb a tree! Housing:Pringle will need access to a private and secure garden with 6ft fencing, she has a high prey drive and can be very agile when chasing things! Children/pets:Pringle will need to be the only pet in the home with no visiting cats as she has a very high prey drive! She will also need an adult only home. Vet history:Pringle is up to date with flea, worming and vaccinations but will need to return to the centre at a later date to be neutered. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £220. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated. Additional information:All rented and leasehold properties will require written consent from the property owner or agent. This needs to be in place before completing an application form. If your application is successful, staff will request a copy.We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the dog.Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance.

About Pringle

What life with Pringle looks like

Pringle is a young adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark in United Kingdom.

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" — 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 Pringle, answered.

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