BILLY - SURREY

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

This is now urgent........31.10.26 Meet this lovely lad Billy Black and Tan Short haired Vaccinations not up to date and microchipped Entire 2 .5 years old Children: Has never met children so we feel adult only home or older children used to excitable GSD’s. Dogs; Billy is reactive to other dogs, although in his first home he did live with a sibling until he was a year old. He will lunge and bark when on a lead, but this is because he is totally unsocialised and really doesn’t know what to do. He recently managed to get out of his harness and ran at another dog, but the injury was very minor. Cats: Again, he had never lived with cats until his current home. He currently resides with 3 but is kept separate. There was an incident with the elderly cat who was traumatised but not injured by Billy. This tells you a lot about his temperament. Livestock: He hasn’t seen livestock, but care should be taken if out in the countryside. Strangers: Just like an over excited puppy, he will jump up if allowed but will get down and settle when told. Walks: Billy is muzzle trained as lived in a very built-up area. He accepts the muzzle without issue. He will bark and lunge at dogs and foxes, but he is great with humans. Billy is a lovely boy who feeds of firm calm cues and that is what jhe is looking for in his new home. He needs someone willing to give him a chance and put in the time to train and socialise him. He will be a brilliant friend and companion for that special family with the time and energy to continue his training get him out on lots of regular walks, play lots of games including mental stimulation and developing his social skills as he is a clever boy and eager to learn. Please don't overlook this lovely lad he deserves a chance.

About BILLY - SURREY

What life with BILLY - SURREY looks like

BILLY - SURREY is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at German Shepherd Dog Rescue in United Kingdom.

A 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 BILLY - SURREY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BILLY - SURREY?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. German Shepherd Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BILLY - SURREY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BILLY - SURREY if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — German Shepherd Dog 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is BILLY - SURREY 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 BILLY - SURREY 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 German Shepherd Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know BILLY - SURREY 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.
