Monkey

Mastiff · Male

​Monkey is like his namesake! He absolutely adores human company and will play with you or his toys for hours on end. He is a very strong boy and needs someone who will be able to walk him reliably on a lead. He does not like other dogs so needs to be an only pet in an adult only home. ​

About Monkey

What life with Monkey looks like

Monkey is a adult mastiff dog waiting at The Underheugh Ark in United Kingdom.

An 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 Monkey, answered.

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