Quinn

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Quinn is a stunning 7year old lad who is looking for his lovely new home. He is very much loved by his family but with a change in personal circumstances, they feel they just can’t give him what he needs and deserves and have made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. He has been with them since he was a puppy and another dog joined them a few years ago. The boys got on great initially but started to have a few disagreements. It was difficult for the family to separate the boys effectively and with young children in the home, they were worried about one of them or the dogs getting injured. Eventually the family decided to rehome the other dog, and hoped that they could find the time to give Quinn his great life. Sadly, things are still too busy, and they feel he doesn’t get the time he deserves. Before the pandemic, Quinn was used to about 2 hours of exercise a day but he doesn’t get as much time spent on him now. Snuggling next to anyone who is sitting down is one of Quinn’s favourite things! He loves a comfy sofa but will get off if asked. He sleeps in his basket in his owners’ bedroom and has the run of the house largely when they are out. He can be left for 3 – 4 hours after a good walk, though looks worried at first. Quinn is not keen on other entire males since being attacked a few times when he’s been on lead. This has not made him reactive at all and he’ll happily walk by other dogs, even if they are reacting to him. But his mum tends to keep a distance from other dogs now. He likes any female dogs and will happily play for a minute or two, and then carry on minding his own business. He would suit a home where he is the only dog and we may consider a home with a confident, sociable female.

About Quinn

What life with Quinn looks like

Quinn is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An 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 Quinn, answered.

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