Remy

Cocker Spaniel · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Remy is not your typical confident, outgoing puppy and will need a special family who are prepared to help him navigate the world at his own pace. Having had limited exposure to everyday life, he will need gentle introductions to new people, places, sights and sounds, with owners who can help him discover his surroundings without overwhelming him. Remy cannot currently be left alone, so his new family will need to be around to support him while he settles in and gradually build up his leaving hours as his confidence and independence develop. If you have the experience, patience and understanding to help a worried young puppy blossom into a happy and confident companion, Remy could be the little one you are looking for. Remy is a 3-month-old puppy who has had a very sheltered start to life and is still learning about the big, wide world around him. He can be shy and worried when meeting new people and dogs, so he will need experienced, patient owners who understand that building his confidence will take time, kindness and plenty of encouragement. Remy is already beginning to trust his carers and is starting to show an interest in toys, as well as enjoying spending time in his secure outdoor playpen. He will benefit from living with a calm, well-socialised resident dog of a similar size who can help show him the ropes (resident dog must be fully vaccinated and female dogs must be neutered). Remy could live with secondary school-aged children who understand his needs and will give him the time and space he needs to settle.

About Remy

What life with Remy looks like

Remy is a large puppy cocker spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Basildon in Wickford.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Remy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Remy?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Dogs Trust Basildon handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Remy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Remy if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Dogs Trust Basildon whether they will for Remy, what they require (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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Remy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Dogs Trust Basildon lists Remy as vaccinated and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Dogs Trust Basildon, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Remy isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Dogs Trust Basildon about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Remy 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.
