BRIAN

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Brindle Brian is a real character (in the best way!). If you love big, daft, soft brindles, then look no further than our Bri! He is 7 yrs old and is possibly Staffy x Rottweiler, or Mastiff and is a very handsome boy with the best smile! To give an idea of his size – he weighs 34kg. Brian has so much personality and has also clearly had lots of training before – he knows lots of commands, and even sits at the kerb to wait to cross the road! He is immaculately clean in his kennel, so we are confident that he’s fully housetrained. Brian walks well on lead and loves to get out for a walk. He does bark at dogs if they’re too close, but we believe this to be over excitement/frustration. He needs some sensible management around other dogs, and will need to be the only pet in the home. Brian is just one of those dogs that you can’t not love – he really deserves a home and we know how much joy he will bring to his new family. ** PLEASE FILL IN A PRE ADOPTION FORM IF YOU CAN GIVE BRIAN HIS FOR

About BRIAN

What life with BRIAN looks like

BRIAN is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Helping Yorkshire Poundies in United Kingdom.

An 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 BRIAN, answered.

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