Tuva

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

14/11/2022 This stunning girl is nearly 3 year old Tuva, she was adopted 9 weeks ago through ourselves and has been doing amazingly well with this lovely family, she has learned so much and is so wonderful in so many ways. However she has recently been reactive to the families youngest daughter and this weekend she sadly bit her on the arm causing several puncture wounds. The family including the child are heartbroken at having to rehome her because they all have fallen in love with her, but seeing as this was unprovoked she has been moved to local kennels while we look for an adult only home for her. Tuva is a very loving GWP, she enjoys cuddles and lots of fuss and attention. She is much better walking on lead because she now ignores runners, cyclists and cars, she can still pull but nothing like she did which is a huge improvement in 9 weeks. Tuva is also now clicker trained which has really helped teaching her things like sit, paw, spin etc. she has also had some gundog training sessions which she really enjoyed. Off lead her recall to a whistle is very good, always a work in progress around stimulating areas, but still very good because she does always come back to you. Tuva loves to swim and is a strong swimmer. She is used to children out on walks and has routinely walked the school run with the children. Tuva settle with the resident female GSP, they have had occasional issues but are also happy to play and sleep together. Tuva can be a dominant female so a male canine companion might be more suitable, or a home as an only dog where she has the humans all to herself. She is neutered and fully vaccinated including kennel cough, she’s also fine to be left for 2-3 hours in the utility room after exercise. Tuva is fine with other dogs out on a walk and will happily play with them. She’s not trustworthy with cats so we won’t be Rehoming her with one. She hasn’t met livestock that we are aware of so her reaction is unknown, careful introductions would be needed, but being a very quick learner she could be fine. Tuva is currently in Goole in Yorkshire and will be rehomed with her 5 weeks free Agria insurance and our Adoption Contract. If you feel you could offer this beautiful girl the love and affection that she enjoys along with the long walks please contact us.

About Tuva

What life with Tuva looks like

Tuva is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tuva, answered.

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