Mr Tubbs

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 6 years

At 6 years old, Mr Tubbs is a relaxed, easy-going boy who has settled wonderfully into foster care. He is fully housetrained, can be left home alone for a couple of hours and travels well in the car. Mr Tubbs enjoys a lovely balance of activity and relaxation. He walks beautifully on the lead and is just as happy exploring the world as he is settling down for a snooze afterwards. His foster family describe him as smart, attentive and a joy to live with. A real softy at heart, Mr Tubbs loves spending time with people he knows. He enjoys fuss, cuddles and tummy tickles, and his enthusiastic wiggles are guaranteed to make you smile. Once he's comfortable with you, you may even be treated to a few gentle kisses. Mr Tubbs is a laid-back, affectionate lad who would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a calm and loving dog. Mr Tubbs is a wonderful boy whose favourite thing is spending time with his people. He is looking for a home with children of secondary school age and above who are comfortable around larger dogs. Mr Tubbs would like to be the only dog in the home so he can enjoy all the attention to himself. He is walked wearing a muzzle, and his adopters will receive support and guidance to continue his management plan. In return, Mr Tubbs will offer plenty of affection, companionship and those wonderful signature wiggles to a family looking for a loyal, laid-back best friend.

About Mr Tubbs

What life with Mr Tubbs looks like

Mr Tubbs is a medium-sized adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Evesham in Evesham.

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.

Note from the shelter: Currently overweight and on pain medication. Must be walked wearing a muzzle. Resource guards toys from other dogs.

🇬🇧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 Mr Tubbs, answered.

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