Shadow

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

This beautiful girl is Shadow, her family have had to make the sad decision to find her a new home because of her owners working commitments and a serious health condition. Shadow is a much loved family member living happily with a 9 year old and an older teenager who walks her daily which she absolutely loves. She also loves lots of cuddles and attention from the boys and her mum. Around other dogs she will jump around to get their attention and is very friendly wanting to play. When she was younger the neighbours did say that she used to bark when left alone. But now at 17 months of age, she can be left for 3-4 hours after exercise. Shadow still visits her mum and sister every month and loves chasing around and playing with them. She lives with a cat, but her owner isn’t sure how she would be with a new cat in the home. She hasn’t been introduced to livestock so her behaviour is unknown. With meeting new children she gets very excited at first but then settles down. Shadow is walked on a figure of 8 lead and is obedient when out walking, she does respond to a whistle and to her name and will sit when asked. She travels well, but can start to whine on long journeys. She is vaccinated and has just finished her season which means that she can be neutered in 3 months time, she is a very quick learner and a happy, healthy, loving girl. Shadow is currently in the London area and will be rehomed with her 5 weeks free Agria insurance and our Adoption Contract. If you feel that you could offer her the active loving home that she’s looking for please contact us. GSP Rescue UK Terms and Conditions apply. 💜🐾🐾 © GSP Rescue UK 2016–2026 GSP Rescue UK is a working name of German Shorthaired Pointer Trust, a Registered Charity in England & Wales No. 1172457

About Shadow

What life with Shadow looks like

Shadow is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK 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 Shadow, answered.

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