Slipper

Cockapoo · Female · Young · 1 year

Slipper is a sweet lady who enjoys playing with toys and splashing around in a paddling pool. She has come from a multi dog household, hoarding situation, so whilst she has lived in a house before she hasn’t experienced home life and a normal routine. She has come on a long way whilst at Woodside. We are working on building her confidence and teaching her how to cope with things like handling, grooming, new things and places. This will also need to be carried on in a new home and may take her a while to adjust. Slipper is looking for owners who are kind and patient, and who will help her to continue to learn and adjust to living in a home environment. In order for her to build a bond and trust, Slipper will require multiple meets at the centre with any potential owners. She is also on medication to help with her anxiety and this will need to be carried on in the home. Our resident vet and behaviourist will liaise with Slipper’s new owner to decide if she needs to stay on the medication or if she can be weaned off it gradually. Slipper needs to be the only pet in the home and can live with children aged 16+.

About Slipper

What life with Slipper looks like

Slipper is a young adult cockapoo dog waiting at RSPCA Woodside in United Kingdom.

An young 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" — 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Slipper, answered.

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