ROCKY - KENT

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

This young man is looking for a VERY SPECIAL home. Rocky spent the first 5 years of his life on a yard with a kennel and a run. He was looked after by a guy employed to keep watch. About a year ago a young lad wa employed to work on the houses being built, and he got to know Rocky letting him out every morning. Rocky spent his days watching the workers build the houses. The gates were open and he never left, just watched the world go by. Sadly at the end of last year te houses were completed and the last one sold, so the owner said that he would shoot Rocky as he was no longer needed. The young lad who had got to know him couoldn't let that happen so took him home, and early this year he came into our kennels. It has taken a while for him to trust and want to spend time with te staff. He has his favourites and with those he is as soft as butter and a delight. If unhappy he will let you know. If you have a home that needs an outdoor dog please consider Rocky. With the right introductions to his new handler he will be the most amazing companion. He needs a home with few visitors, happy to live out, as never lived in a home. He would like a child and cat free home. He is walked with a couple of the dogs at kennels whom he has been slowly introduced to but we know he has not actually lived with another dog. We know that we are asking for a miracle, but we believe that there is a home out there for this lovely lad..... is that you ??

About ROCKY - KENT

What life with ROCKY - KENT looks like

ROCKY - KENT is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at German Shepherd Dog Rescue in United Kingdom.

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 ROCKY - KENT, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ROCKY - KENT?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. German Shepherd Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ROCKY - KENT on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ROCKY - KENT if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — German Shepherd 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is ROCKY - KENT 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 ROCKY - KENT 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 German Shepherd Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know ROCKY - KENT 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.
