How do I contact the shelter about Sasha?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Oakwood Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sasha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sasha if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Oakwood 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 Sasha 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 Sasha 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 Oakwood Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sasha and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Sasha

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Sasha originally travelled to the UK from a shelter in Romania, with her sister Bella by her side the whole way. These public shelters in Romania are extremely overcrowded, very short on funds for food, the dogs have barely any shelter from the harsh weathers and sadly dog attacks are becoming more and more regular. These 2 babies wouldn't have stood a chance if they'd have stayed much longer. Since arriving with us Sasha has shown to be very affectionate with staff and volunteers and very playful with toys and dog friends. Sasha has had several viewings during her time with us but she can be very fearful of strangers. She will bark at new people and hide away in fear. Unfortunately, no one has been able to look past this which is really sad because there is the most sweetest, loving, playful and cheeky girl behind all of that fear, she just needs someone that is going to give her patience and understanding. She's just a baby and has spent all of her life in shelters and kennels, she's never known a family of her own and before Oakwood, people didn't always mean positive experiences for Sasha so it's of no suprise that she doesn't trust everyone straight away. We need someone that is able to see past the fear barking and in return, you are going to get to get a beautiful girl full of love and character that will stand right by your side and be the best friend that you could ask for. Sasha has gone through everything in life with one thing that has been a constant for her.. her sister Bella. It would be the most amazing happy after for them both if they could be adopted together but we do realise that this is a big ask and so we'd also be looking at the option of them being adopted seperately. Sasha loves playing out with her dog friends and shares a kennel with her sister however, she does show a lot of guarding traits towards the others . Sasha has been seen to guard her food and toys and will snap at and make the other dog go away, she will proect whatever is hers. For these reasons, we believe that Sasha will be best as an only dog in the home . We'd be open to looking at her living with a second dog however, this would need to be very carefully managed from day 1 as it could cause of a lot of upset in the home and especially with the current dog if they end up getting bullied by her. It would need to be a dog of similiar size or larger than her. Sasha loved the cat when cat tested. She was very gentle with him, gave him lots of sniffs and was even cleaning him. She showed no prey drive. Sasha is still just a baby, she currently shows moderate energy levels but she has recently started going out on walks which she is absolutely loving Sasha has never in her life been left fully alone as she's always had the company of other dogs. There's a possibility that Sasha could suffer with superation anxiety until she gets used to being alone, this will need to be worked on and built up slowly Sasha has recently started lead training and is absolutely loving it Sasha has no form of basic training. She will also need toilet training in her new home

About Sasha

What life with Sasha looks like

Sasha is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Oakwood Dog Rescue in Kingston upon Hull.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
