Adopt Uno

Chihuahua · Male · Senior · 11 years

Meet Uno! This sweet little man arrived at Battersea with several other dogs. Uno is a senior boy who we have limited information on from history, but has shown a sensitive side and can be overwhelmed by life, so is likely to have had limited exposure to the world outside of his home and his bubble of doggy friends. Uno is a worried boy but has shown to have a real zest for life and a pep in his step! He is gaining confidence with every day that goes by! Although he can be unsure of new people, he tries really hard to trust, and once he gains a bit of confidence he has shown to enjoy affection from his known people - even pawing at them when they stop fussing him. New owners should have some experience of dealing with the Chihuahua breed, or a dog of a sensitive nature. This will give owners a realistic expectation on how he will be in the home. His new owners must know that he will need sometime to build his confidence and settle into his new life. Uno is looking for a home that will introduce him to the world around him gently, as well as a loving, quiet home that can help him build on his confidence in. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Uno, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Uno

What life with Uno looks like

Uno is a senior chihuahua dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Uno, answered.

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