Zippy

Female · Young · 3 years

Zippy was found as a stray and this has understandably knocked her confidence. In the short time she has been with us, she is improving daily and we are starting to see her wonderful character shine through. We are positive that once settled into her new home, she will be a dream. Zippy will need some help with housetraining, although has been trying her best to keep her kennel clean. She will also need further confidence building with travelling in a car. Zippy does enjoy spending time with people but is also happy to be left to her own devices with access to a safe space so could be left for a couple hours in her new home with room to build up. Zippy is searching for a patient family that can help her grow in confidence. She is a worried girl but is definitely starting to come out of her shell. For this reason, she'd like an adult only home as the only pet currently. Zippy can have doggy walking friends. Zippy is currently out in a foster home.

About Zippy

What life with Zippy looks like

Zippy is a young adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Evesham in Evesham.

An young 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 Zippy, answered.

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