Rocky

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

*Still under assessment* Meet Rocky! Rocky is a handsome 6 year old black lab cross who is looking for his new home! Staff noticed that his legs looked a bit longer than they should for a lab, and after speaking to a vet it is believed he has some Lurcher crossed in with him. Rocky is a wonderful dog with a gentle soul and plenty of love to give. At six years old, he has left the chaos of puppyhood behind but still enjoys getting out and about for walks, exploring new places, and spending quality time with his people. With his Labrador nature, Rocky is loyal, affectionate, and enjoys being part of family life. His suspected Lurcher heritage gives him an athletic side, and he loves stretching his legs and enjoying the outdoors. After a good walk, however, he is more than happy to settle down and relax beside you for a fuss and a cuddle. Rocky is looking for a home where he can continue to thrive and be treated as a valued member of the family. He would suit an owner who can provide him with regular exercise, companionship, and plenty of affection. Whether it's countryside adventures, beach walks, or simply curling up at home together, Rocky is happiest when he is with his people.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Assisi Animal Sanctuary 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, answered.

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