Rodney and Sidney

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 2 years

Two bonded brothers looking for an active home Born in October 2024 They are 51% labrador, 15% cocker spaniel and 34% poodle! Need an active home with someone committed to continuing their training Could live with older ‘dog savvy’ children Any enquiries please email Please read through our adoption policy first. You can find it here Rodney & Sidney are a pair of very bonded brothers who are looking for a home together. They were originally bought as Cocker Spaniel x Labradors, DNA tests indicate that they are 51% labrador, 15% cocker spaniel and 34% poodle! They were born in October 2024 and are now fully vaccinated and castrated. Although they look very similar their characters are quite different. Rodney is very outgoing and definitely a bolder character, while Sidney is a bit more reserved and more of a ‘thinker’. Their basic training is coming along, and they are learning to walk well on their harnesses. They do get excited in new situations and with new dogs, but that’s just inexperience and they are learning all the time. Their ideal home would be an active one with people prepared to continue their training and socialisation. They could live with older ‘dog savvy’ children, and would love a home with lots of outside space where they could run around and play. To register interest or ask further information please email: and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Any rehoming will be subject to our usual homing checking and adoption procedure.

About Rodney and Sidney

What life with Rodney and Sidney looks like

Rodney and Sidney is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Ryedale Dog Rescue in United Kingdom.

An 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 Rodney and Sidney, answered.

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