Twigs

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Twigs is a stunning 4 year old lad who originated in Italy where he spent a year in a pound after being found and before coming to the UK and living for the last 18 months with his lovely family. He is a sweet, gentle boy who is finding living in a busy family home too stressful. He is very much loved but the family have had to make this really sad decision to try and find him a home where he can relax and doesn’t need to be worried all the time. Twigs has a lovely garden but is afraid to go out there especially if it’s a windy day, the families children are banned from playing loud games and ball games because they don’t want to cause him more anxiety. Traffic is also a worry to him when he’s at home and he can also be afraid of many household noises like the vacuum cleaner, washing machine, tv etc. Twigs happy place seems to be out on a walk. He loves running, hunting and chasing around, he can be timid meeting other dogs but will also engage and play with some. His other favourite place is curled up on the sofa having lovely cuddles when the house quietens down.

About Twigs

What life with Twigs looks like

Twigs is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK 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 Twigs, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Twigs?
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 Twigs on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Twigs 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 Twigs 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 Twigs 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 Twigs 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.
