Suzie

Female · Senior · 10 years

Suzie is a real sweetheart who is often happiest settled comfortably on her bed, taking life at her own pace. She loves going on car journeys and enjoys seeing other dogs when out and about. She is also wonderfully well behaved in places such as cafés, where she is happy to settle quietly and watch the world go by. One of Suzie’s adorable little quirks is her love of soft teddies. She enjoys picking them up and carrying them around, which is guaranteed to make you smile! Suzie is a sweet, gentle 10-year-old Lhasa Apso who is happy to live with other dogs, although she would also be perfectly content as the only pet. Suzie can live with older primary school-aged children and, following her assessment, we feel she can be left for up to four hours. She also travels really well in the car.

About Suzie

What life with Suzie looks like

Suzie is a senior dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 Suzie, answered.

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