How do I contact the shelter about Gunner?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Freshfields Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gunner on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gunner if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Freshfields Animal Rescue 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 Gunner 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 Gunner 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 Freshfields Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gunner 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.

Adopt Gunner

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

by Kennels | Mar 3, 2026 | Dogs, Liverpool, Male, New Resident Liverpool, Dogs, Liverpool, Male, New Resident Gunner came into our care in February, as his previous owner were going to be evicted so was taken to the vets to be euthanized. The vets could not bring themselves to put to sleep a perfectly healthy dog so got permission from the owners to rescue him. Luckily, Gunner was given a second chance and in less than 24 hours, he found himself at Freshfields ready to find his forever home. Unfortunately, due to how Gunner came to be in our care, we have a limited known history of him in terms of his behaviour in a home. Following on from behavioural assessments and just spending time with this amazing dog, we have learnt so much about him: – Gunner is house trained and makes no mess in his room when left overnight. – Gunner is a gentle giant; he has never shown any aggression or nervousness towards people. – He loves his food and has no known allergies or intolerances. – He is currently quite unsure around other dogs and can get a bit giddy. With more exposure and training, this will definitely improve and is something our kennels team are working on. Gunner walks nicely on the lead however at over 34kg, he will need someone with the strength to be able to manage him and he may only be suitable in a household with older children. Gunner is a very energetic, enthusiastic and affectionate dog. He loves greeting you anytime you join him on the yard or in his room. He’s extremely playful and can be occupied for hours with all sorts of toys – he especially loves a game of tug of war. Gunner can walk for hours with staff and volunteers and especially loves trips to the nature reserve near Freshfields. He would truly be a loyal companion, would encourage you to spend time with him outside and letting him see and explore more of the world. Gunner is vaccinated, up to date with flea and worm treatment and has been neutered while on site with us. Gunner is not even 4 years old, he deserves to live a fun, full life outside of kennels. We know the right person is out there for him. If you would like to know more or have any questions, please email the kennels teams directly on .

About Gunner

What life with Gunner looks like

Gunner is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool.

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.
