Estelle

Rottweiler · Female · Adult · 4 years

Meet Estelle! (36kg) She is an absolute sweetheart. She’s the kind of girl who greets you with a huge smile and her adorable wiggly bum, just so happy to see you! She absolutely loves affection and head rubs and is happiest when she’s spending time with her people. She has such a lovely, gentle nature and is a very sweet girl who will quickly worm her way into your heart. Estelle also loves getting out and about. She enjoys long walks, exploring her surroundings and having plenty of time to stop for a sniff along the way. She knows her basic commands, but her new family will need to continue working with her and provide some further training to help her become the very best version of herself. We truly believe that whoever gives Estelle her forever home will feel like they’ve won the lottery. She has so much love to give and is going to make a very special companion for the right family. Estelle has so much love to give, and we would love to see her find the forever family she deserves – somewhere she can finally put her paws up, enjoy life and know she is home. She would benefit from a private secure garden. Estelle has socialised well with other dogs while in our care, so she could potentially live with another dog of similar size following a successful meet and greet (must be neutered). As Estelle came into us as a stray, we have no previous history on her, so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.

About Estelle

What life with Estelle looks like

Estelle is a large adult rottweiler dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) in Manchester.

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 Estelle, answered.

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