Romina is a lovely 6yr old girl described as being extremely calm, gentle and sweet. she is small size up to 30cm. Romina was rescued from the kill shelter last winter. she didnt look pregnant but the morning after she arrived she had given birth to 2 puppies. Her rescuer had 2 other puppies that needed a mother so Romina took them on aswell and raised 4 puppies. All the puppies have now found a home so its Romina's turn now.

About Romina

What life with Romina looks like

Romina is a small adult dog waiting at Penny 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 Romina, answered.

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