Adopt Moss

English Bulldog · Male · Young · 3 years

Personality:Moss is a super friendly, fun boy. He can be shy at first but quickly comes out his shell, Once he does, he really enjoys human company and having lots of fuss and cuddles. Moss also enjoys spending time in the office and makes everyone laugh with his fun, funky personality. Behaviour:Moss is a lovely boy to walk, low energy and happy to plod along next to you. Moss is calm around other dogs and will ignore them on a walk. Although he has made doggie friends here on site and gets excited to see them. We are not sure how he might be left alone but we think that he could learn to left gradually. Housing:Moss cannot be rehomed to PO2 area. He would benefit from a private garden and he would need to be the only Pet in the home. Children/pets:Moss could live with children 15+ if they are calm and used to being around dogs. He would need to be the only dog in the home, but he can have doggy friends outside the house. and he cannot live with cats.

Moss does have a low grade heart murmur, and two luxating patella’s, there is no immediate medical intervention needed, he has also had BOAS surgery to help with his breathing and on a hypoallergenic diet.

About Moss

What life with Moss looks like

Moss is a young adult english bulldog dog waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark in United Kingdom.

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 Moss, answered.

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