Adopt Frog

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

About FrogLovely lad Frog came to the centre via the local stray Dog service. He was extremely nervous and very shy when he first came to us, with lots of gentle training and TLC Frog has matured in to a smashing dog. Although he is so much more confident with the staff here at the centre he still can be a bit anxious and head shy when meeting new people. Adopters will need to carry on with the gentle socialisation training that has been started at the centre. Frog loves to run off lead in our secure compounds and loves playing with a ball, he still has to master the concept of bringing the ball back to you but being a lurcher it more the thrill of the chase for him. He also loves being in the comfy room getting snuggles from the staff, he has learnt that hands are a source of comfort now and not pain. Frog really is a very sweet boy who has missed out on so much in his young life. He is now ready to face the big wide world and all it has to offer. With his family by his side to keep him safe he looking forward to a brighter future. Frog is very sociable with other dogs and he is actually much more confident around them, he is suitable to live with another dog of similar energy levels after a successful meeting at the centre. He could live with children aged 14 years and over.

About Frog

What life with Frog looks like

Frog is a large young adult lurcher dog waiting at RSPCA York Animal Home in York.

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 Frog, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frog?
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 Frog on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frog 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 Frog 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 Frog 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 Frog 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
