Snoop

Lurcher · Male · Young · 1 year

Snoop is an affectionate, people loving boy who enjoys being close to his favourite humans. Once he's settled, he's happiest playing with toys, having cuddles on the sofa, giving kisses, or showing off tricks he already knows. He's a clever lad who loves learning and has picked up commands including sit, down, stay, place, touch, recall and walks lovely on lead, but his brains and boredom can lead to some cheekiness, like rummaging on the worktops for anything tasty. Out and about, Snoop has been a pleasure to walk. He's enjoyed social walks with several other dogs, walking calmly alongside them. He's happy to watch livestock, traffic and other distractions before moving on, and has made fantastic progress with his confidence. The only area where Snoop needs understanding is that he can become over-aroused when food rewards are involved or clear boundaries are not set when he's super excited. If he knows treats are available, he can become overexcited and may jump up or mouth in an attempt to get them. However, when treats aren't part of the picture, this behaviour is rarely seen. We've found that Snoop responds much better to calm, consistent handling, praise, toys and clear boundaries rather than constant food rewards. He's a dog who likes to know exactly what's expected of him. Snoop also enjoys his toys (perhaps a little too much!) and will happily entertain himself, although soft toys don't tend to last long around him, so sturdy enrichment toys are recommended! Snoop struggles with separation anxiety in the home, although he has settled very well into kennel life with very few issues. We believe this is because he thrives on routine and structure, so his new family should be prepared to continue building his confidence at home and not rush leaving him alone for long periods. Snoop isn't looking for perfection, he's looking for someone willing to understand him. In return, you'll gain an incredibly clever, funny, affectionate young Lurcher who has so much potential and so much love to give. With the right guidance, we truly believe Snoop will make an amazing companion.

About Snoop

What life with Snoop looks like

Snoop is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Animal Concern Cumbria in Egremont.

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 Snoop, answered.

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