Adopt Reggie

Chihuahua · Male · Senior · 10 years

Introducing Reggie, he's a 10 year old Chihuahua that is looking for a forever home to call his own! Reggie is proof that the best things come in small packages, brightening everyone's day with his endless character and signature trot. He is more than happy to head for a potter and he travels well in the car too, being happy to adventure out and about. Reggie enjoys a fuss from his people, making him a great companion for some snuggles on the sofa once he's comfortable with you. This little fella is sure to bring plenty of laughs and joy to a home that is patient and understanding with him, giving him all the love that he needs to thrive! Reggie is looking for an adult only home where he can lap up all the attention! He can be a vocal when meeting dogs so would like to be the only dog in the home, though he has been social with some dogs out and about, especially the ladies! Reggie cannot share his home with cats but small furries may be considered if kept separately from him. Reggie can be a little nervous meeting new people so adopters will need to be able to separate him from unknown visitors to the home. He is uncomfortable for vet visits so is looking for a family that are confident in managing this with guidance from our behaviour team.

About Reggie

What life with Reggie looks like

Reggie is a small senior chihuahua dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

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 Reggie, answered.

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