Banjo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

*Assessment ongoing, more information to follow* Meet Banjo, a handsome 2-year-old Cavapoo with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This friendly little guy is always happy to be involved in whatever is going on around him and loves being around people. He's quite the chatterbox too, and will happily let you know when it's time for attention, cuddles, or just a good conversation! Banjo is a fun-loving young dog who enjoys making friends and gets on well with other dogs. Whether it's a play session with canine pals or joining his humans for an adventure, he's always keen to be part of the action. While Banjo is incredibly affectionate, he can be a little unsure about certain types of handling and prefers things done on his terms. Because of this, we're looking for a home with children aged 10 years and over who can understand and respect his boundaries. With patient, dog-savvy owners who will continue building his confidence, Banjo will flourish into an even more wonderful companion. This lovable boy has so much to offer. He's friendly, entertaining, full of character, and guaranteed to bring plenty of joy and laughter to his new home. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep you company and ensure life's never out of tune, Banjo could be the perfect match.

About Banjo

What life with Banjo looks like

Banjo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Assisi Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Banjo, answered.

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