Adopt Reggie

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 1 year

Reggie is looking for a loving home with adopters who have experience around bigger, bouncy dogs, and who are willing to put the time, love and effort into continuing his training and keeping him mentally and physically enriched. He will need to live with older secondary school aged children, and needs to be the only pet in the home with understanding owners who can work on his desensitisation around other dogs. Reggie loves his toys, and will quite happily take himself off with his favourite tennis ball and sploot on the floor with it. Reggie will need to meet his adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted. Reggie is the ultimate dream for all the big dog lovers out there! He’s still a big, bouncy puppy who is about to spend his 1st birthday with us, and is the perfect mix of Rottweiler and Labrador (adorable, right?). Under his boisterous, goofy personality, Reggie has a sweet, sensitive and snuggly side, and he loves being a big lap dog and having all the cuddles. He’s a clever boy who will do just about anything for a tasty treat, and already knows some of his basics including ‘sit’ and ‘paw.’ Could you be the perfect home for this young boy?

About Reggie

What life with Reggie looks like

Reggie is a large young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Dogs Trust Canterbury in Chestfield.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Reggie, answered.

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