How do I contact the shelter about Delores?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Newbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Delores on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Delores if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Newbury 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 Delores 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 Delores 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 Newbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Delores 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.

Delores

Rottweiler · Female · Young · 1 year

Delores is full of personality and has so much love to give. She adores being around people and will happily follow you from room to room before curling up beside you for a snuggle on the sofa. During her time in a foster home, she took her time exploring her new surroundings but quickly began to settle, seek out affection and invite her foster carer to play. She absolutely loves toys and is very good at entertaining herself, although tug of war is one of her favourite games to share with people. Delores can get carried away when she is having fun, so she will benefit from structured play sessions and calm breaks to help her manage her excitement. She is also a big fan of food and treats, which will make positive training especially rewarding. She will sit beautifully for a treat and usually takes them very gently. Delores is curious when out on walks and enjoys taking in everything around her. Because she cannot rely fully on her hearing, she may occasionally jump towards her handler for reassurance when something surprises her. She travels brilliantly and would love to have a home that would take her on adventures as Delores can be a social butterfly. She has shown lovely, playful body language around other dogs and enjoyed walking alongside another dog at the centre. With the right match, she could enjoy having a confident friend to play with and join her on adventures, and be her ears for her. Delores is looking for a patient and understanding family who can see just how wonderful she is beneath all that youthful enthusiasm. In return, they will gain an incredibly affectionate, fun-loving companion who will fill their home with playtime, sofa cuddles and plenty of character. Delores is a truly special young Rottweiler cross who has completely stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. She is a sweet, playful and affectionate girl who is looking for a home with adopters who can help her continue building her confidence and learning how to manage all her excitement and zest for life. Delores has very limited hearing, so she may not realise when someone is approaching or about to touch her. Her new family will need to make sure she can see them before handling her and use visual cues to communicate with her (training provided at the centre). This may also mean that new places can feel a little overwhelming at first, but with reassurance, treats and time to explore, she soon starts to relax. She can become very excited when meeting people and may jump up or mouth gently during greetings. Calm introductions, structured play and ongoing positive training will help her learn more appropriate ways to say hello. Delores may be able to live with confident, dog-savvy teenagers as her playful and boisterous nature could be too much for younger children. Delores would love a private, secure garden and a quieter household with limited visitors while she settles in (initially). We are looking to place her in a home with another confident and playful dog that could be her ears. Any time left alone will need to be introduced gradually, as she may initially bark or scratch at the door, although she has already shown that she can begin to settle with patient, gradual practice.

About Delores

What life with Delores looks like

Delores is a large young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Dogs Trust Newbury in Newbury.

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.
