Roo

Chihuahua Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 6 years

Everyone meet our next resident …. Roo!πŸ’š This cracking little fella is 6 years old and he is chihuahua with a little bit Jack Russel. He is a lovely lad who makes everyone laugh. 😍 Sadly he’s in our care due to no fault of his own. The family had a tough decision to make after their child became allergic to him.πŸ’” Roo is only a dinky lad at 4kg but he is full of character. He is good with children and other dogs too! He really does think the world revolves around him. 🐢 This lad loves his walks and saying hi to everyone he meets. He is great in the car and happy to be handled as well.🐾 Roo was fab at the vets where he passed his full healthcheck. He’s now mircochipped, flead, wormed and started his vaccinations. He is booked in to be neutered too. βœ”οΈ Please do share this lad he can find a home filled with adventures!🀞 Remember to complete the form below if you’re interested in adoption;

About Roo

What life with Roo looks like

Roo is a adult chihuahua dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Roo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Almost Home Dog Rescue 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 Roo 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Roo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roo 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 β€” 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.
