Adopt Brock

Male · Young · 2 years

Brock really would like a home with a secure garden, this is what he is used too, he needs prompts and regular trips out to the garden to maintain a ‘clean’ housetraining, especially when a move to a new home could cause some confusion & disruption. Brock will seek out attention & fuss, he is very affectionate with his family. He likes to play with stuffed toys and will lick away at enrichment kongs/mats etc. Time alone will need to be built up slowly. Brock would like company of humans most of the day. City living or rural escapes will suit this good boy. Brock is a sociable dog, who is used to playing with other dogs as well as living with others. Brock thinks seeing other dogs is the most exciting thing.. ever! Brock is one cool cookie! He currently lives with other dogs and pending successful meet at the centre, could live with another neutered dog. He lives with children and would love older little people in his new home too. (Children who are dog savvy & understand when a dog needs space) He loves treats, walks, car rides out and adventures where he can sniff away! Brock or Broccoli as he is also called is a busy little guy who has so much love and companionship to give. We will not consider a home with cats for Brock. He is not cat friendly.

About Brock

What life with Brock looks like

Brock is a young adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cumbria in Cumbria.

An 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 Brock, answered.

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