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.

‘OLD DOG OF THE WEEK’ FEATURES NEW PHOTOS AND A FRESH WRITE-UP FOR AN OVERLOOKED OLDIE THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR WEBSITE FOR A WHILE BUT IS STILL WAITING FOR A NEW HOME. Please help Squid by sharing this page! Bizarrely named, comedian of a dog Squid is a 10-year-old Beagle x Staffy boy in the care of RSPCA East Sussex, Southend & District Branch. He finds himself looking for a new home through no fault of his own and is used to being at the centre of a loving family. Squid can live with dog savvy children from age 10. He's a sturdy and bouncy boy who just wants love and fun. He wants to be the only pet at home and he needs human company most of the time. He loves fuss and attention! RSPCA Essex South say his talented at, "…stealing sofas, warming laps and supervising snack preparation from an uncomfortably close distance. Squid is built like a gym lad who skipped leg day and has absolutely no idea he is not a tiny puppy. His hobbies include sniffing things with intense dedication, power walking like he is late for an important meeting, sitting directly in the middle of the room and receiving bum scratches like they are part of his employment contract. "Squid loves people and would happily spend every hour of the day glued to your side like a slightly chunky emotional support potato. He would prefer to be the only pet because after being attacked twice by other dogs he has officially retired from the social scene and now prefers a peaceful drama free household. "He is not a constant barker but he will occasionally like to announce things such as someone walked past the house, a leaf moved suspiciously or dinner being approximately 7 seconds late. Squid offers loyalty, comedy, cuddles and the kind of daily entertainment money simply cannot buy." If you'd like to get to know this cheeky chappy, 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.

About Squid

What life with Squid looks like

Squid is a very small 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.
