Dodger

Male · Young · 2 years

In the short time we have known Dodger, he appears to be very food motivated and picked up some training. Loves to destuff a fluffy toy, he is sharing his foster home with a cat, no concerns. They are not mixing with each other, yet in the same house. We feel Dodger could have dog walking friends as has been good when passing dogs on assessments. Pending successful meet at the centre Dodger could live with another neutered dog. Energetic dog that will walk for hours, he is looking for an active home who’ll include him in all their adventures, Dodger is a young dog (2 years 9 months) and will benefit from a family who enjoy training, he can be strong on the lead, he knows sit, lie down. He loves his treats, he prefers to be with people, He’d be suited to older children who are not fazed by energetic, bouncy dogs secondary school age is preferable.

About Dodger

What life with Dodger looks like

Dodger is a young adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cumbria in Cumbria.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Dodger, answered.

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