Romeo

Lurcher · Male · Puppy · 18 months

Meet Romeo the handsome 2 yr old Lurcher who has a heart full of love and looking for adventure. This charming boy is full of energy and fun, always ready to head off for a walk to explore new places, whether it’s a countryside stroll or a little village wander, he would love to join you! But don’t let his adventurous side fool you, Romeo also loves cuddles, if he has stretched his legs with a run or walk, he can turn into a champion snoozer who loves nothing more than having a long, cosy nap beside you. Romeo travels well in the car and enjoys meeting new people, greeting everyone with his friendly and affectionate nature. He could happily live with children aged 12 and over who understand when he needs a little downtime after his adventures and who won’t mind his size – he doesn’t always realise it himself!While Romeo cannot live with another dog in the home, he is able to socialise with dogs out on walks. He can sometimes become vocal around other dogs because he gets excited and wants to play, so his new owners will need to continue working on his lead manners and social skills. Romeo would benefit from continuing his positive training to help him stay calm and focused when passing or greeting other dogs. He is still young, eager to learn, and has lots of potential with the right guidance.In the office environment, Romeo has been clean and house trained and has been able to be left alone for an hour which could be built up slowly built up once he builds confidence in the home. As with any rescue dog, he may need a little time and patience to fully settle into his new home, but he is a clever boy who responds well to consistency. This gorgeous boy is looking for a loving home where he can enjoy exciting adventures by day and cosy cuddles by night. Romeo has so much love, character, and companionship to offer, and whoever welcomes him into their family will gain a loyal best friend who will make every day brighter.

About Romeo

What life with Romeo looks like

Romeo is a puppy/kitten lurcher dog waiting at Pawprints Dog Rescue in Stretton-on-Dunsmore.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Romeo, answered.

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