Frida

Rottweiler · Female · Adult · 4 years

About FridaFrida is a sweet girl who came to the centre as her previous owners could sadly no longer keep her. She is a sweet girl who can be a little on the shy side when meeting new people but is quick to realise everything is just fine. Frida loves her home comforts and is finding kennel life a little overwhelming so we would love to see her happily settled with a new family. Frida loves to be out and about on her walks, she would love a home here her family will take her on nice interesting walks and exciting adventures. Frida is a big girl and can be quite strong on the lead so we are looking for adopters who have experience with large breeds of dog. Frida is a very intelligent girl and has learnt lots of things in her previous home, she is fully house trained and can be left on her own for short periods. Frida is a fun loving girl who in her previous owners words thrives being part of a family and is up for plenty of adventures. Frida loves her snuggles and loves to be the centre of the family, she is loving, affectionate and very loyal. Frida will make her new family a wonderful best friend. Frida is best suited to being the only dog in the home and could live with children aged 14 years and over. Potential adopters will need to do a couple of meets with Frida before actually taking her home.

About Frida

What life with Frida looks like

Frida is a large adult rottweiler dog waiting at RSPCA York Animal Home in York.

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 Frida, answered.

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