Bosco

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 2 years

With the right understanding and guidance, Bosco has so much potential to grow into a wonderfully loyal and rewarding companion. Bosco is a stunning 1 year old Rottweiler with a bright mind and a big personality. This handsome boy is incredibly smart and loves nothing more than earning tasty treats while showing off what he has learnt. Bosco does have a sensitive, anxious side, so is looking for a calm, adult only home. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home but he can happily enjoy the company of calm doggy friends while out on walks. He can take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he feels comfortable Bosco's cheeky fun-loving nature really shines through. Bosco isn't comfortable with lots of handling so is learning to wear a muzzle for vet visits and grooming. His new family will need to be patient and committed, attending multiple visits to the centre and working closely with our training team to support Bosco as he moves into his new home. Bosco would love his own secure garden where he can relax, play with his toys and explore at his own pace.

About Bosco

What life with Bosco looks like

Bosco is a large young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

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.

Note from the shelter: Sensitive and anxious, requires muzzle for vet visits and grooming, needs patient and committed family with multiple pre-adoption visits

🇬🇧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 Bosco, answered.

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