Adopt Tosca

Pointer · Female · Young · 2 years

Tosca is a very intelligent girl who loves to learn and enjoys her walks. She would need a home happy to continue her training around other dogs. Tosca is an enthusiastic girl who loves to have fun brain games and enrichment in the home. She would love to go for walks in quiet areas where she can work on her training out and about. Tosca is a sweet girl who loves to be around people, to have cuddles on the sofa and to play tug and fetch with her toys! Meet the gorgeous Tosca. Tosca is an (approx) 3-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer. She could live with secondary school age children and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Tosca would need her own private garden so she can play and relax.

About Tosca

What life with Tosca looks like

Tosca is a young adult pointer dog waiting at Dogs Trust Salisbury in Newton Tony.

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 Tosca, answered.

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