Bourbon

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Bourbon is a sweet boy, he has gone through a lot of change in his life and may not have had the best of starts so can understandably be nervous of new experiences. Once he knows you, he likes a gentle fuss, loves playing with toys and has enjoyed the opportunity to explore different places including a walk in nearby woodland. He will make a wonderful companion to a patient and understanding family that can offer him the love he deserves and help him with his ongoing training. Bourbon is a 6 year old Rottweiler X. He is currently kennelled with another dog, Honey, who he could join a home with as they are bonded. If being rehomed separately, he will need to be the only dog in the home as he is worried around other dogs and can be avoidant and conflicted and he will need to be kept on lead when outside of the home for this reason. Bourbon could join a home with children of Older Secondary school age who can appreciate he can be nervous and may want space. He would like her own secure garden and would like someone at home with him most of the time initially and for leaving hours to be built up once settled.

About Bourbon

What life with Bourbon looks like

Bourbon is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Snetterton in Snetterton.

An 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 Bourbon, answered.

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