English Setter · Male · Young · 3 years

English Setter cross3 years old NeuteredNegative to all Mediterranean diseasesCan live with dogs and dog-savvy kidsHas not been cat tested Dennis is a bright, happy young boy currently living in Serbia, he’s almost always spotted zipping around the enclosure with his tongue hanging out in pure joy! He adores being outdoors, so a secure garden where he can explore, play, and relax would make him truly thrive.Dennis has a long-standing dislocated hip, he’s been fully assessed by a specialist veterinary team in Serbia. They’ve confirmed that his hip has healed in place over time, he moves comfortably, and he isn’t in pain. He’ll just need an adopter who can keep an eye on things and ensure he stays healthy and supported.Although he can be a little shy at first, Dennis has a gentle nature and a real love for fresh air and adventure. With patience, kindness, and some basic training, he’ll blossom into a wonderful companion. As he’s never lived in a home before, he’ll need someone to guide him through the basics, but the reward of watching him grow in confidence will be huge.Dennis is ready for a family who can offer him understanding, stability, and plenty of outdoor fun! If you’re looking for a sweet, active boy with a big heart, he might just be the perfect match for you.

About Dennis

What life with Dennis looks like

Dennis is a extra-large young adult english setter dog waiting at Settusfree 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 Dennis, answered.

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