Bear

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 1 year

Bear is a wonderful one-year-old Rottweiler with a huge personality and a fantastic sense of humour. He is the kind of dog who keeps everyone smiling with his playful antics and affectionate nature. Bear absolutely loves attention and enjoys a good fuss from his favourite people. He is a very clever boy who already knows a range of tricks and thrives on learning new things. Despite his size, Bear walks nicely on lead and travels brilliantly, happily jumping straight into the car ready for his next adventure. Bear is looking for a home with children of upper secondary school age and above. He has had limited socialisation with other dogs and is continuing to build his confidence, so he would be happiest as the only dog in the home while his social experiences are continued in a positive and controlled way. A home without cats would suit him best, although small pets could be considered if kept separate. Bear would benefit from adopters who can give him time to settle into his new surroundings, with his time left alone built gradually. In return, he will be a fun, loyal and rewarding companion who brings plenty of laughter and love to everyday life.

About Bear

What life with Bear looks like

Bear is a extra-large young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

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 Bear, answered.

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