Tallulah

Chihuahua Β· Female Β· Adult Β· 8 years

Tutu is a very sweet Chihuahua who loves all the home comforts and spending time with her siblings. She would love patient, kind and caring adopters who can help her settle back into home life and shower her with all the love she deserves. She absolutely loves toys and playing with them. Once she gets to know you, her sweet, affectionate side comes out. Tutu would make a terrific companion! Meet Tallulah, an 8-year-old Chihuahua also known as Tutu. Tutu is looking for adopters who will put in the time to help her build her confidence, as she is the most worried of her siblings. She will need that extra bit of time for her to adjust and feel comfortable in her new environment, so her adopters should be patient with her. She could live with secondary-aged children. Tutu is currently kennel-sharing with some of her sisters and could be rehomed with one of them. However, she would not be suitable to go home with any other pets in the home.

About Tallulah

What life with Tallulah looks like

Tallulah is an adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Tallulah, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tallulah?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Harefield handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tallulah on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tallulah if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Dogs Trust Harefield 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tallulah 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tallulah isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Harefield early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tallulah 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 β€” 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.
