Teddie

Bichon Frisé · Female · Adult · 5 years

Teddie could live with primary school-aged children or older and may be able to share her new home with another dog, pending successful meets at the centre. She is a sweet-natured girl who would love to find a family who can enjoy all the fun, cuddles and companionship she has to offer. If you think Teddie could be the perfect girl for you, don’t forget to favourite her when submitting your application. Teddie is a 5-year-old Bichon cross who really is an all-round great girl. She settled into her foster home so quickly and has been a pleasure to have around from the get-go. She is a friendly, confident and playful girl who loves being around people and is always happy to receive some fuss. Teddie loves her toys and enjoys playing with them in the garden, as well as heading out for walks and exploring. She also enjoys spending time with her doggie friends and is always up for a bit of fun. When playtime is over, Teddie is just as happy to curl up on the sofa for a cuddle with her foster carer. With her lovely nature and easy-going personality, Teddie has so much to offer her new family. If you are interested in Teddie, please fill in an application form and don't forget to "favourite" her!

About Teddie

What life with Teddie looks like

Teddie is a adult bichon frisé dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ballymena in Ballymena.

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 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 Teddie, answered.

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