Adopt Toffee

Poodle · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Toffee is looking for a quiet rural home that can continue her training. She would like company most of the time and a secure garden with grass in her new home. Toffee is excited to welcome people to the home, she will jump and bark initially but settles quickly and will lie down. She may occasionally bark at unfamiliar people when out and about but is more likely to do so if they are with another dog. Toffee is scared of children and has growled at young kids in the home so we are looking for a home with no children, living there or visiting. Toffee travels well, she is used to a dog seat in the back and enjoys looking out the window. Toffee is a bit scared when a dog runs up to her, particularly larger dogs. She may have a brief sniff of them and then continue walking. She does not have an aggressive nature, but she may bark if she sees a dog in the distance. Toffee is good on the lead and does not pull. Her recall is okay but she is easily distracted, particularly by rabbits or squirrels. This should be worked on in her new home. Toffee will tolerate being washed but will only allow her back to be brushed – she does not like to be brushed on her legs or her paws being touched. But she can tolerate this if given plenty of treats and breaks. She has been okay at the groomers but is always given a natural calming tablet beforehand. She is also very afraid of fireworks. Toffee is nervous at the vet but is fine being examined. She is fine being left for a few hours and does not seem to have separation anxiety. However, she can bark when left in an unfamiliar place such as a hotel room/holiday home. Toffee barks at loud, unfamiliar sounds outside the home. Toffee has not been to boarding kennels before. Toffee thrives on attention, love and treats. She is a real lap dog and is very happy to curl up beside you. Toffee loves going for walks and enjoys exploring and sniffing around. She behaves well in public settings too (such as cafés) and enjoys the attention. © 2025 Dog Aid Scotland (SCIO Charity No. SC001918) Web Design by Techincal Services Scotland. Need a website?

About Toffee

What life with Toffee looks like

Toffee is a adult poodle dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland in United Kingdom.

An 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 Toffee, answered.

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