Casso

Shar Pei · Male · Adult · 4 years

Casso is looking for a home with a loving and active adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in at his pace and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is looking for an adult only home, with adopters who understand that he can be aloof at times and will read when he is feeling uncomfortable and give him time and space to himself when needed. Casso is a friendly boy, but can be quite intense with other animals, so is looking to be the only pet in the home. He has a little training under his belt, knows his name and does a lovely “sit”, he doesn’t show much interest in training, but can be enticed into short, sweet sessions with the help of a tasty treat. He would like a home with a private garden to explore and potter off lead at his leisure. He can settle alone so could be left for up to 4 hours, this should be built up gradually once he has had time to settle into his new home. Casso will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet her within 48hrs of being shortlisted. One of a kind boy Casso is a 4 year old Shar Pei cross who is beautiful both inside and out. He can be aloof at first, but once he has grown a bond with you he will become your best friend. He is just a huge teddy bear that likes a fuss, he acts like a cat and rubs himself all round your legs, he especially likes a back scratch and will back himself into you if you stop too soon. Casso doesn’t have much time for toys, he would much rather play a game of chase with his favourite people, he runs like he’s been caught in slow motion zoomies, although he’s definitely going super speedy in his mind! This quirky guy is ready to find his new home.

About Casso

What life with Casso looks like

Casso is a extra-large adult shar pei dog waiting at Dogs Trust Canterbury in Chestfield.

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 Casso, answered.

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