Brooke

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Brooke is a beautiful 2 year old neutered girl, who came to us after she unexpectedly attacked the 11 year old male Cocker that she had been living with for 9 months, up until that point they had been great friends, she was also living with her male sibling and has been fine with him, but after this attack we had her moved into a local kennel to be assessed. Even though this seemed to be a one off incident while she’s been in this home, we will only rehome Brooke as an only dog to stop this from happening again, because her owner has no idea why this happened. Her breeder couldn’t help and suggested that they euthanise Brooke. Brooke had been wonderful up until this, her owner describes her as having a lovely nature, a loving girl, full of beans with a great recall, fine with other dogs and good off lead, who loves to play ball games. Natalie one of the team has been to meet Brooke at the kennels and said that she was a big powerful girl at 30kg, who loved to play with her ball and bring it back to you. She is fit and well proportioned and very elegant covering ground like a dream. She refused a treat after initial introductions, but then did take them gently. She also showed a good level of obedience with sit, down, paw, around to side, heals to a treat off lead, will stay while you move away and throw a dummy, she is strong on lead so Natalie used a Gencon to help with the pulling. she was unresponsive to school children, horses and another dog they met out on a walk, which is great. Brooke has been left for several hours at home with the two males and has been fine except for the occasional bark. She has been fine around livestock and all the children that she’s met including their 1 year old granddaughter. Her owners daughter has worked on Brooke’s recall and she recalls very well to the whistle, she has also introduced her to Canicross which Brooke really took to, she either sleeps in her crate at night or on the adult daughter’s bed with her GSP brother. Brooke can be wary of meeting new men, but after a few moments and some tasty treats she quickly trusts them. She is a great traveller and will quickly lay down and snooze quietly. Beautiful Brooke is currently in the Hampshire area, she will be rehomed with her 5 weeks free Agria Insurance and our Adoption Contract, if you feel that you can give her the attention and ongoing training that she loves please contact us.

About Brooke

What life with Brooke looks like

Brooke is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

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.

🇬🇧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 Brooke, answered.

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