Russet

Pomeranian · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Meet Russet, our handsome Pomeranian cross! This bright young boy is full of character and absolutely loves his toys, especially soft and squeaky ones. Russet is a loving boy who enjoys spending time with his people and can be very excited to see them. As he is still young, meeting new people can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, and he may respond by jumping up or lightly mouthing when he gets excited. Although Russet previously lived with other dogs, he has shown us a more worried and conflicted side when meeting dogs here at the centre. We have been taking things at his pace, gradually expanding his world and helping him build more positive experiences around other dogs. He can be quick to use his voice when he feels unsure, so he will need patient owners who are happy to continue building his confidence. Russet could potentially live with tolerant dogs who can be a positive role model for him. He will also need his own private garden where he can feel safe and comfortable while exploring, as well as a quieter home in a low dog populated area. Having someone around for most of the day initially would help him settle into home life and build his confidence. Russet is a wonderful young boy with so much to offer, and we would love to find him a home where he can feel safe, understood and loved. Our rehoming team will talk through all of his training and support needs with potential adopters, both in person and throughout the rehoming process. ng form and feel you can meet Louie's needs as stipulated above, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Russet

What life with Russet looks like

Russet is a small puppy/kitten pomeranian dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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 Russet, answered.

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