Rossi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Rossi is a lovely Lurcher lad who is 10 years old and has settled well into his foster home provided by Dogs Trust Merseyside . He greets his carer excitedly each time she comes home. He would love to find a home with a family that will give him time to trust them and help him continue to build his confidence at his pace. Rossi loves to be brushed and spoken to gently and will sleep contentedly in his own bed. That seems to be his safe space and he should be left to himself if he’s in there. He is a friendly boy who can get overwhelmed easily. Rossi may not be as fast these days but he's still an active boy for his 10 years. He enjoys being outside and is very interactive when off his lead and will often seek a nice scratch from his handler. He prefers quiet spaces and parks as he doesn’t like busy roads. Rossi is a senior gentleman and his behaviours and habits can seem complex at times, but he’s just a worried dog who needs someone to guide him. Rossi can live with children over the age of 14 but no other pets. He is house-trained and can be left alone for up to three hours without worry once he's settled in. He travels well in the car and will happily jump in. He has minor luxation of both patella that doesn't bother him. Rossi lived with other dogs previously and when in kennels he seemed to feed off their stress and become reactive himself, but in his foster home he has made a friend, though it’s taken a while. He generally ignores other dogs but can be reactive if they’re nearby and he is uncomfortable. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you'd like to give Rossi his loving, forever home, please contact Dogs Trust Merseyside as follows: Apply: via their website – click here Please mention you saw Rossi on the Oldies Club website.

About Rossi

What life with Rossi looks like

Rossi is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Rossi, answered.

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