Tilly

Beagle · Female · Senior · 9 years

Tilly is our 8-year-old Beagle who has been a delight to get to know at the centre. She's friendly with everyone she meets and loves spending time with people. Tilly's favourite thing in the world is a tennis ball, and she'll happily enjoy a game of fetch, often trying to carry as many balls as possible at once! She also loves exploring and following her nose, taking in all the interesting scents around her. Tilly is very food-motivated, knows how to sit and offer a paw for a treat, and has been great for handling. She's a fun-loving, affectionate girl who would love a home where she can enjoy plenty of company and adventures. Tilly is looking for a home with children of upper primary school age and above. She would like to be the only dog in the home but would benefit from continuing positive social experiences with other dogs out on walks. Tilly has the potential to live with cats, pending careful introductions, and is looking for a family who can build leaving time up gradually as she settles into her new routine.

About Tilly

What life with Tilly looks like

Tilly is a senior beagle dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

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 Tilly, answered.

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