Doris

Mastiff · Female · Puppy

Doris is our girl with a big personality and plenty of energy! She is a fun-loving, enthusiastic dog who is always ready for her next adventure. Being a young dog, Doris has lots of energy to burn and will need an active home that can provide her with plenty of exercise, enrichment, training and, most importantly, lots of love and patience. She would thrive with someone who enjoys getting out and about and can help her learn how to channel all that youthful enthusiasm in the right way. Doris is an affectionate and characterful girl who loves being involved in whatever is going on. She can be excitable and may need some guidance with her manners, but with the right person by her side, she has all the potential to become a wonderful companion. Her ideal home will be one where her new family understands the needs of a young, energetic large breed and is committed to continuing her training and helping her grow into a happy, confident adult dog. Doris has so much to offer and is looking for someone who will see past her youthful exuberance and give her the positive training, time, structure and companionship she deserves. Could Doris be the energetic, lovable addition your family has been waiting for? Doris' ideal home: - Family with experience or confidence around large breed dogs. - Time to spend continuing her positive training and socialisation. - Will need to someone around most of the day and gradually learn how to be left alone at a pace she is comfortable with. - Can live with children 10+ - Can live with well matched dogs - Needs a secure and private garden with 6ft fencing

About Doris

What life with Doris looks like

Doris is a large puppy/kitten mastiff dog waiting at RSPCA Coventry and District Branch in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Doris, answered.

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