Bruno

Male · Young · 2 years

Bruno is a handsome Dobermann cross Weimaraner who is interactive, lively and keen to explore. He has previously lived in a home so has many basics already in place and is looking for new owners who can continue to enhance on these skills, his love for toys and food will help with any training going forwards. Our team have advised that he is keen to please and will respond to his handler, he loves to play with toys and be around people, sometimes needing to be encouraged to keep his feet on the floor. As he can be excited he is best to live in a home with teens, he could live with a dog but they will need to be able to cope with his play style. Bruno has shown to be vocal and intolerant at times towards entire male dogs so his new owners will need to be happy to support him with some training in this area and keeping him on lead or a longline when out and about. In his previous home he was housetrained, but we have noticed that this has slipped a little since being in kennels, this could be due to finding kennel life a little stressful, so a garden to run around to let of some energy and help with house training reminders would be preferred for him. We have seen that Bruno has been quite stressed with us, and previously did become extremely anxious when left alone in the home or when one member of his family left, therefore his new home will need to be prepared to build up his leaving hours very slowly, being around all the time to begin with, to help him settle in to his new home.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a large young adult dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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 Bruno, answered.

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