Adopt Wallace

Shar Pei · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Wallace is a big hearted, loveable boy. He is looking for a committed and experienced home. He forms strong bonds with people and has a sweet affectionate nature that wins over everyone he meets. Staff describe Wallace as a friendly, slightly dopey boy which only adds to his charm. He walks nicely on the lead and enjoys getting out and about, making him a great companion for someone who likes regular walks and spending time outdoors. Wallace is quite a vocal lad and isn’t shy about expressing himself, so his new home will need to be understanding of this trait. He is under socialised around other dogs, so will need careful, controlled introductions and ongoing training to help him build confidence and appropriate skills around other dogs. When Wallace first arrived with us, he required veterinary care for a blockage and Entropian (a condition affecting his eyelids), both of which have now been successfully treated. He was always such a good boy whilst at the vets although a little wriggly. He has recovered well and is ready to move forward into a loving home. Due to his breed mix and training needs, Wallace will require an experienced owner who is committed to continuing his training and socialisation. He would benefit from a private secure garden. Wallace will need to be the only dog in the home. As Wallace came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years

About Wallace

What life with Wallace looks like

Wallace is a large puppy/kitten shar pei dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) in Manchester.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Wallace, answered.

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