How do I contact the shelter about Sookie?

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

Can I adopt Sookie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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 Sookie 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 Sookie 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sookie 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.

Sookie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Cute Sookie came into the care of Dogs Friends in March 2025 as part of a mother-daughter pair. After a year of trying to find a home together, it has been decided to try to find them separate homes. Due to being a pair for so long, her new home will need to be a little special. Meantime, she is in foster care in Weston-super-Mare. Sookie is a Chihuahua and is 8 years old (born April 2018). She is incredibly sweet and clearly feels a lot of emotion but seeks to please. Her eagerness to please makes her very receptive to training. She craves attention and cuddles and isn’t shy to show you when it’s time for strokes. When she’s ready and really happy, Sookie loves nothing more than grabbing a toy and initiating play time. Once Sookie has welcomed you into her circle, she is incredibly people-oriented and fiercely loyal. Because she is used to having her mother, Piper, by her side, Sookie ideally needs a home where someone is around most of the time, particularly during her settling-in period. Sookie is looking for a pet-free, adult-only home with a family committed to her ongoing training. She is dog reactive, but she has been working on this with the Rescue's trusted behaviourists and expected to thrive with ongoing training. Sookie has a prey drive and cannot share her home with cats, birds or other small animals. Despite being a Chihuahua, she is very “springy” and requires a secure garden with 6ft fencing! Sookie is generally in good health. She has a sensitive stomach managed with a consistent diet of single protein. Please note: Dogs Friends' catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire). For Sookie, they are ideally looking for a home within a commutable distance from her behaviourists in Brent Knoll, and this will be discussed further with successful applicants. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you cannot resist this cute and special lady, please contact Dogs Friends as follows: Please read the Dogs Friends’ Adoption Information and access their online application form or Email: Please mention you saw Sookie on the Oldies club website.

About Sookie

What life with Sookie looks like

Sookie is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

An 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.
