Squid

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Meet Squid, a 10-year-old Beagle x Staffie (on the chunkier Staffie side) who’s looking for a new sofa to claim as his own through RSPCA, Essex South . He’s come from a loving family home through absolutely no fault of his own, and is now on the hunt for his next humans. Squid is looking for a home where he will be the only pet and any children are aged 10yrs+ and understand that he can get a little excited and bouncy at times. He thrives on human company and love and affection, so the more Squid time he gets, the happier he will be. Squid loves his walks, can be a little strong on the lead but is great company. He was attacked in the past by other dogs, so is naturally cautious and worried around other dogs and likes to keep his distance, so perhaps a home where there are nice walks nearby that aren't too crowded and overrun with other dogs would be perfect. In summary, Squid is a loving, loyal, slightly chaotic, very devoted companion who will reward the right home with loyalty, laughs, and plenty of noise. If you think you may be Squid's perfect match, or would like further information, please complete the RSPCA Essex South, Southend & District Pre-Adoption Questionnaire here , or Email: am to 4pm Monday to Friday) – Applications cannot be taken on the phone unless you do not have access to the internet. Please mention that you saw Squid on Oldies Club website.

About Squid

What life with Squid looks like

Squid is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club 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 Squid, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Squid?
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 Squid on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Squid 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 Squid 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 Squid 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 Squid 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.
