How do I contact the shelter about Spirali?

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

Can I adopt Spirali if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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 Spirali 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 Spirali 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 Battersea Dogs & Cats Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Spirali 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.

Spirali

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Meet this handsome boy Spirali! We do not have a previous history for Spirali so do not know whether he has been in a home environment or not.. Spirali has shown to struggle with kennel life and can be vocal when he seeks out human attention. He will therefore need a family who can help him settle and adjust to home life with ease and help him gain some independence and confidence. Spirali has shown to be super eager to please with training and responds really well to all basic training which will help him gain the life skills he needs to mature into a well rounded gentleman. He can be playful with other dogs but also has a worried, sensitive side to him. He has, however, shown to respond well to a role model dog which has helped him learn some nice social skills and he is taking it all on board. He would be able to live with another dog who can be that role model figure and who is also tolerant of a large goofball! New owners will need to help him learn some manners as he does not always have 4 paws on the floor when meeting people. He is a social butterfly and loves to interact however he needs to do so in a more polite manner. He has shown a great response the basics which is helping him to learn how to be calm with people and this will need to be continued in the new home. Spirali loves to sniff! He enjoys having a good sniff around natural outdoor spaces such as woodlands and we would encourage new owners to continue to provide these types of activities that will allow him to use his nose as enrichment , These activities encourage him to be calm and more relaxed on lead. Loud noises can unsettle him and cause him stress so we would initially advise short walks in quiet places to help build his confidence with the outside world, particularly in his settling in period. Spirali will need a private garden to help with house-training, offlead training and exercise. Due to his coat type he will also require ongoing grooming visits and some time at home with a brush to ensure he can maintain a wonderful knot free coat! This lovely youngster could potentially live with older children that can be part of his training. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Spirali, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Spirali

What life with Spirali looks like

Spirali is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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.
