Olly

Male · Adult · 7 years

Olly came into our care after his owner sadly passed away. We don’t really know what he’s like in a home, but he’s a laid-back gentleman who is fully housetrained. Time left alone would be best built up from scratch, but he jumps into a car so trips out could be welcomed instead. Olly is not one for lots of toys or play at the moment, just a good mooch around followed by leaning into his carers for fuss. Meet Olly, our 7 year old Boxer cross Mastiff! Don’t let his size fool you, he’s the sweetest boy around. He can live with children of primary school age as long as they’re happy around a larger dog. Olly can also live with dogs as long as they get on well during in-centre meets first. Cats are a bit of an unknown but he definitely has a potential, pending a successful scent swap. This would be in a home that can introduce them gradually, keeping them separate to begin with.

About Olly

What life with Olly looks like

Olly is a adult 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.

🇬🇧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 Olly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Olly?
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 Olly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Olly 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 Olly 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 Olly 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 Olly 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.
