Tic Tac

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Tic Tac is a lovely boy, who would love for his new family to be home with him for most of the time while he settles in. He will also need a bit of support with his toilet-training, but he's a very clever boy and we think he'll pick this up in no time! Tic Tac is an active lad, who would love to get out and about with his new family! He loves getting his nose down for a sniff, and would love to be kept busy with enrichment. Tic Tac will be a wonderful companion and we can't wait to see him thrive in his forever home. Meet handsome boy, Tic Tac! Tic Tac is a 2.5-year old Boxer looking for his forever home. Tic Tac would like to be the only dog in the home, but would like to make social doggy friends out and about! Tic Tac is able to live with children secondary school aged and over, as he can be a bouncy boy! Tic Tac is a sweetheart with so much love to give. He has a very good response to his name, learns super quickly and absolutely loves his food! He enjoys playing with his toys too, and having a lovely sniffy walk. He walks well on lead, though can pull a little bit when excited. Tic Tac loves a good play about and then a snooze, and would love cuddling up on the sofa with his people. Tic Tac can be a bit vocal when seeing some dogs out and about but is doing really well at giving focus to his handler. He is very friendly, and is great with all handling. Tic Tac will suit an active home that are willing to take him on fun adventures and keep him busy! He will make a brilliant addition to his forever family.

About Tic Tac

What life with Tic Tac looks like

Tic Tac is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

An young 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 Tic Tac, answered.

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