Rolo

Unknown Β· Young Β· 1 year

Boxer 13 months old Evening everyone, my name is Rolo and I am a very beautiful young Boxer, even if I do say so myself πŸ’™ I am currently staying with my lovely foster family and this is what they say about me; Rolo is a delightful example of a very energetic and happy go lucky Boxer, he likes to make doggy friends wherever he goes whether they want this or not but he is learning to walk past calmly if everyone is on lead. Rolo is respectful when he is told off by a dog but will ask to play again 2 minutes later – he says he just forgets but we are sure he just wants to try and charm everyone into playing the day away. Rolo has got some basic commands but can forget these if he’s distracted, he really wants to be a super good boy and tries to do everything his humans ask. Rolo loves people. Any people at all, big, small, young and old, he is a ready made best friend. Rolo would love to find an active family who are looking for a dog to have oodles of fun with, he would love a family wh

About Rolo

What life with Rolo looks like

Rolo is a large young adult dog waiting at HW Animal Rescue in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible β€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Rolo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rolo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. HW Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rolo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rolo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” HW Animal 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 Rolo 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rolo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with HW Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rolo 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 β€” 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.
