Roarie

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Handsome Roarie would make a family very happy! He enjoys being around his people and getting fuss over the sofa. He enjoys his favourite toy, ROPE BALL! If you could offer Roarie a quieter home life and would be happy to share the sofa with this cuddly boy, he could be your pawfect match! Say hello to Roarie, an almost 10-year-old Staffy. He is looking for his forever home with a sofa where he can cuddle up with his family. Roarie would love to live in a quieter residential area as he can be worried by loud noises. He should be the only dog and pet in the home. When meeting any visitors, he will need to be introduced to them outside of the house and ideally have a way to be kept separate from the front door. Roarie does have a history of being around a child, so could live with secondary children. The age could be lowered if the children are dog-savvy. Roarie does have some medical considerations including a previous cancer diagnosis; adopters will receive a call with our vet team to discuss all of the details.

About Roarie

What life with Roarie looks like

Roarie is a senior staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Roarie, answered.

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