Teddie

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Senior · 9 years

Teddie and bestie Frenchie are such a dream pair of dogs. Always up for a cuddle, they're very affectionate and great to have around. Teddie often has to step back and let Frenchie in first as she's rather pushy, but Ted takes it all in her stride and happily waits her turn for a fuss. She loves to snuggle down into her bed and doesn't mind Frenchie sharing, and she has done really well with a set routine in her foster home. Teddie is great with other dogs, always happy to say hello and make a new friend and seem to really like being part of a group of dogs. She has bonded nicely with her foster family and really enjoys human company also, especially when she's in a cafe or down the pub! Teddie and Frenchie are just so sociable, they're an absolute joy to have around. Teddie is looking for a home with BFF Frenchie, and they can live with other dogs and older primary aged kids. Both dogs are house trained but Teddie really struggles when left home alone so would be best suited to a multi-person household. She has some recurring ear infections but is currently just on ear cleaner for this

About Teddie

What life with Teddie looks like

Teddie is a senior cocker spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Merseyside in Liverpool.

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 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 Merseyside 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 Merseyside 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 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 Merseyside 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.
