Sally

Female · Senior · 9 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs some support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled Sally came to us as a stray so we do not know what she is like left home alone. Therefore any home alone time will need to be built up gradually at her pace. Do I have any medical conditions? History of Sally has a historic medical condition, namely blood in urine which was resolved, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Sally will want to be the only dog in her new home. At Woodgreen she has greeted dogs she has met in a calm manner, however she doesn’t seek out these interactions. She is a lone ranger and doesn’t need canine companionship to be her best self. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? We do not have any knowledge of Sally around children as she was a stray. Therefore, if there were children in the home they would need to be at least 8 years old, who will understand her calm energy and give her space when she wants it. What type of environment would suit me? Sally will need a secure, private garden with tall fencing, as she shown she is an agile lady. This will give her a safe space to explore and sniff at her own pace, and also help with her housetraining. About Sally Meet Sally – a gentle, mature lady who enjoys her tasty snacks and leisurely walks. She loves relaxing in a comfy spot and taking in the world around her. Although she’s an older lady, she recently surprised everyone by making an impressive jump over a baby gate! Sally may enjoy a slower pace these days, but she still has plenty of spirit and determination.

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a small senior dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

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 Sally, answered.

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