Tango

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

🐾 Meet Tango 🐾 Tango is a beautiful Cocker Spaniel girl, around 4–5 years old, and she is an absolute sweetheart. ❤️ It has taken Tango a little while to build her trust with us, but we are watching her blossom every single day. A little more of her personality is beginning to shine through, and it is just lovely to see. When she meets new people, Tango can still become that frightened little girl again. She needs someone who understands that confidence doesn’t happen overnight and that everything will need to be taken at her own pace. But this girl has so much potential. 🥰 Tango is looking for a quiet, settled home where she can continue to learn about life in tiny, positive steps. 🐶 Another dog in the home is absolutely vital for Tango. We will not consider a home where she would be the only dog. 🏡 A super-secure garden is essential. 👧 Children must be 14+ and able to respect that Tango needs her own space and time. Tango is still learning that the world can be a safe and happy place. For her, it will be baby steps — patience, reassurance and lots of love. We know that somewhere out there is the person who will understand that, and who will be incredibly proud of every little milestone this beautiful girl achieves. ❤️🐾

About Tango

What life with Tango looks like

Tango is a very small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Tango, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tango?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tango on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tango if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tango 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 Tango 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tango 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.
