How do I contact the shelter about Trevor?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. South East Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Trevor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Trevor if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — South East Dog Rescue 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 Trevor 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 Trevor 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 South East Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Trevor 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.

Trevor

Shih Tzu · Male · Adult · 6 years

Trevor is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu who came into SEDR as an unclaimed stray. He has been with us since August 2025 and we have spent a long time helping him unpack his troubles in kennels, before he moved into foster in February this year. He has absolutely blossomed in a home environment with those who understand his little quirks. He has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Trevor is looking for a calm, experienced home with confident owners who understand how to give him space and build trust at his pace. He cannot live with children. He is also unable to live with cats. He will do well in a quiet, structured home without lots of visitors When he first arrived, he was very frightened of people, and while he has come a long way, he can still be a little cautious when meeting new faces. 💛 Trevor’s PersonalityOnce Trevor knows you, he truly shines. He becomes an incredibly affectionate, cuddly little companion who loves nothing more than snuggling up beside you in the evenings. He forms strong bonds and is wonderfully loyal to his people.🐕 Social LifeTrevor absolutely adores other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful canine companion. He’s currently in foster with other dogs and loves having a friend to play with and learn from.⚠️ Things to Know • Trevor can be wary of new people and may nip if approached too quickly • He needs patient owners committed to continuing his trust-building journey • He can be a bit unsure about formal handling and may give a small grumble, but he is responsive and ultimately cooperative • Best suited to a structured, understanding home environment🌟 The Good Stuff • Very loving and cuddly once bonded • Great recall off-lead • Playful and social with other dogs • A genuinely good boy who wants to please Trevor needs a home who initially respect his space, and will be his advocate in keeping him safe around strangers, ensuring well meaning people out on walks or visitors do not try to stroke him before he is ready. Once he bonds, he bonds firmly without exception....but this takes time. He needs people who understand he has been traumatised in situations before coming into rescue, and he needs patience. Once you gain his love, you will have a best friend for life. Trevor was initially unable to cope with being groomed / shaved but his foster parents have worked incredibly hard on this and he now allows those he trusts to groom and clip him. Trevor does not like the vets! But his foster parents have worked hard with muzzle training which will be needed at vet appointments. Trevor is a dog who needs understanding and compassion...and in return he will become your absolute best friend and lap warmer!

About Trevor

What life with Trevor looks like

Trevor is a small adult shih tzu dog waiting at South East Dog Rescue in Greenhithe.

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.
