Kevin

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Young · 1 year

Looking for an active, fun, sweet boy? Look no further than Kevin! He is bundle of energy and sometimes does not know how to appropriately manage his energy so can become destructive when over stimulated. This is managed by giving him appropriate outlets of this behaviour and teaching calm and settling behaviours. Kevin loves being out and about and would be an amazing adventure buddy, he loves people and other dogs. He can be a little strong on the lead but just because of how excited he is. Whilst some dogs may shy away from busy areas, Kevin is full steam ahead to say hello to anyone he can. Kevin is looking for a home where his family can be around all the time to start with and slowly build up time alone, he would prefer to be in an adult only home however a family with dog savvy teenagers would be considered. Kevin adores playing with other dogs and we think he could benefit from living with an older established dog(s) that could show him the ropes of living in a home – however being only recently neutered, it would need to be neutered females or males only for now. Kevin has had an unsettled few months and we are looking for a family with a lot of dedication who want an active dog that requires ongoing training – you will also get the support of our behaviourist should you need. We know in the right home Kevin will thrive and show of his funny character and be an amazing addition.

About Kevin

What life with Kevin looks like

Kevin is a young adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Pawprints Dog Rescue in Stretton-on-Dunsmore.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Kevin, answered.

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