How do I contact the shelter about Write your will for free?

When you reach out, mention you saw Write your will for free on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Write your will for free if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope 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 Write your will for free 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 Write your will for free 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 Hope Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Write your will for free and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Write your will for free

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 21 years

Leaving a gift for Hope Rescue dogs in your will is an incredibly special way to ensure your love for animals continues as your lasting legacy. Every single legacy gift, no matter the size, makes such a difference to the dogs in our care, helping them to find the happiness they deserve now, and for many years to come. We all want to make sure our nearest and dearest are looked after should the worst happen, including our dogs. To support this, Hope Rescue has established free will writing programme. You can write your will for free with either Octopus Legacy, Nationwide Probate or Westminster Law. It’s easy to put off making a will, but it’s one of those important things we should all do. You are not obliged to leave a gift towards our work in your will but we do hope that, once you've looked after those closest to you, you may consider leaving a gift to Hope dogs. *Hope Rescue have made arrangements to cover the cost of simple Wills.

About Write your will for free

What life with Write your will for free looks like

Write your will for free is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hope Rescue in Pontyclun.

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.
