How do I contact the shelter about Tilly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Bridgend 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 Bridgend 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 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 Bridgend 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Tilly

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

Tilly is looking for an active and committed home that can provide her with the exercise, routine, and mental enrichment she needs to thrive. She’s a bright and people-focused girl who will benefit from ongoing training around lead walking, calm greetings, and settling when excited. She already knows a few tricks, is very engaged with people, and is likely to enjoy learning new things, especially when food or toys are involved. Tilly will need some encouragement with her toilet training and prefers to toilet on a walk or on grass only in the garden. Tilly is comfortable sleeping in her crate, and can be left for short periods once settled into a routine. Tilly also enjoys having cosy quiet time and loves burrowing under blankets when relaxing after a busy day. Tilly would suit adopters who enjoy fun, interactive dogs and are prepared for all the energy and entertainment that comes with a young terrier. With structure, patience, and lots of positive experiences, she has all the potential to become a wonderfully loyal, loving, and entertaining companion. Tilly is a lively and affectionate young Jack Russell Terrier with lots of personality and a huge love for people. She’s an energetic, playful girl who enjoys being involved in family life and will happily join in with whatever you’re doing. Tilly loves attention, games, toys, sniffy walks, and splashing in streams, and she would likely enjoy activities that keep both her mind and body busy. Like many young terriers, Tilly can become overexcited at times and is still learning how to channel all of her enthusiasm appropriately. She may jump up or become vocal when greeting people or during play, so she’ll need owners who can continue helping her learn calm manners through positive reinforcement training. She can initially be a little unsure in some new situations, but she warms up well when given time and gentle introductions. Tilly enjoys the company of other dogs and has shown friendly, playful behaviour when meeting them, although she can become overstimulated if play gets too exciting. Tilly can live with children and has previously been friendly and playful with younger family members, though due to her excitable nature she would be best suited to dog-savvy children.

About Tilly

What life with Tilly looks like

Tilly is a extra-large young adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
