Princess

Rottweiler · Female · Young · 1 year

Princess loves affection but she's looking for a family that is happy to take things slowly with her. She came into our care through no fault of her own and seems to lack confidence in a few areas. Princess was recently briefly rehomed but then began to be concerned about the male in the home, out of nowhere. We would advise that she have a few meets at the centre and for her family to allow her time to adjust to her new situation. She is a very sweet dog who loves to play and although she can be shy around new people, she's keen to say hello. She's food mad, so any titbits and snacks will quickly find yourself a place in Princess's heart! She's a little underweight at the moment but she does take her treats very gently despite this. Princess used to live with another dog but there were regular spats, so she's better suited to being the only pet at home, but with some chums for walkies. When she was younger, she was hit by a car so now is understandably worried by traffic so needs a home way from busy roads. Princess can live with older high school aged children but not other pets, although she will walk with some dogs. She is house trained but not used to spending time home alone.

About Princess

What life with Princess looks like

Princess is a young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Dogs Trust Merseyside in Liverpool.

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 Princess, answered.

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