How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Woodgreen Pets Charity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Teddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Teddy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Woodgreen Pets Charity 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 Teddy 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 Teddy 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 Woodgreen Pets Charity early rather than rehoming privately; they know Teddy 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.

Teddy

Yorkshire Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs settling in Can I be left alone? Yes Teddy wasn’t left much in his previous home and when he was, it was in the company of another dog. Since loosing his friend he may struggle a bit more with being left home alone so he will need a settling in period and any home alone training worked on, at his pace. Teddy has the potential to do a few hours. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Teddy has current medical conditions, namely conjunctivitis and he requires a dental, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? Yes Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? Yes, conditionally - Securely housed pets that he cannot access Additional information Teddy doesn’t show much interest in other dogs when he’s out on walks but will greet other dogs politely, then continue on his walk. He has always lived another dog who he was quite bonded to but he unfortunately lost her recently. Teddy has the potential to live with another similar sized dog again who, like himself, is on the calmer side and will give him space when he wants it. He wants a companion to relax with rather than a play mate. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Teddy can live with children aged 8+. He’s a sweet boy who enjoys being with his favourite people but he’s an older chap who is looking for a quieter life. What type of environment would suit me? Teddy will need a secure, private garden in his new home. This will help with his toilet training and give him a safe place to stretch his legs. About Teddy Meet Teddy.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a small senior yorkshire terrier dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

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.
