Rocco

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

Everyone meet our next poundie …. Rocco!💔 This lad was stray and no one came forward to claim him. Sadly we aren’t surprised due to the state of him! Rocco is 3 years old and a lurcher who has clearly had a hard time so far in life. Yet is so sweet and gentle, you’d never know! ❤️‍🩹 Sadly this lad was adopted a year ago an and has now come back to due family’s circumstances changing.😔 This lad loves nothing more than sleeping by the fire with a full belly of food. He is great with humans of all ages and he’s is housetrained.✔️ Rocco walks well on lead using his head collar, travels well and is happy to be handled. He’s been great around the house and loves visitors! He would make a great family addition. 🏡 He’s been vaccinated, flead, wormed and mirco chipped. Rocco is neutered too. Thankfully his scars have all healed well and his skin is looking good. When he first arrived last year form the pound he was so skinny and in need a lot of TLC!😔 Rocco is good around dogs when he’s off lead and he has been going to regular socialisation groups with a wide range of dogs. When on lead he can get excited when he’s sees them but he is a lurcher after all!😂He just wants to meet everyone!🥰 Please share this amazing gent so can find his forever humans who will care and love him for the rest of his life!🏡 Remember to complete the form below if you’re interested in adoption:

About Rocco

What life with Rocco looks like

Rocco is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

A 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 Rocco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocco?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rocco if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Dog Rescue 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rocco 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 Rocco 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 Almost Home Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocco 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.
