Ronnie

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Ronnie is a confident little chap who is happy to meet new people when out and about. He would really thrive in a home where he can go for a couple of sniffy walks per day to keep his brain active. He is a smart boy who knows a few commands and will even jump into his harness for you when it's time to go out. Ronnie loves his tennis ball and can often be found cuddling with his teddy bears. Due to forming those strong bonds with his humans, Ronnie would love for his family to be around most of the time whilst he is settling into his new home. Once he feels safe, he settles really well in a soft bed. He really is such a sweet companion, just looking for his new best friend. This sweet boy is Ronnie, our 9 year old Yorkie X Jack Russell Terrier. Ronnie is a loving boy looking for a family who can give him all the attention he deserves. He forms really strong bonds with his humans and wants to spend as much time with you as possible. For this reason, he would love to be the only pet in the home, so he can have all the cuddles for himself. Ronnie is a wonderful boy and could live with younger secondary school aged children who are confident around playful dogs, as he can jump up when he's excited to meet you. He has lived with dogs before and is friendly out and about, but can be a bit intense sometimes and would benefit from owners who can help him build his dog social manners. For this reason, it would be best for Ronnie to be the only dog in the home, but he would definitely benefit from confident doggie friends.

About Ronnie

What life with Ronnie looks like

Ronnie is a senior yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

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 Ronnie, answered.

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