Stan

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Stan Stanley is a stunning 35kg soon to be 7 year old fella who is being rehomed through no fault of his own. Sadly his owner has died and after his passing Stanley has had to move into a new home. In this home he has more boundaries than in his previous home and he becomes aggressive when trying to remove him from rooms in the house. He has just become a bit too much for his new owner to handle. But he is so lovely and affectionate that they feel that he could still be a loving companion to someone else who has the time and outdoor space to give him what he loves and is used to. Stanley does suffer from seizures roughly once every 3/4 months, but he is not on any medication for this and it does not affect his quality of life or that of his owners. The family have been to the vets about this and they advised that as long as he only has up to 6 seizures a year then he will be okay and doesn’t need any medication. He loves affection and sitting on peoples laps, he likes playing fetch with a tennis ball and also loves going for walks. He has recently been trained to walk very well off lead and he has a good recall. Stan is fine around children of all ages and has lived with a 5 year old who he has grown up with and she is now 12. Stan is great with other dogs out on walks and is currently happily living with a 3 year old springer spaniel. He does have the potential to chase cats so his owners think that it would be safer not to rehome him with cats. He hasn’t met any livestock so careful introductions would be needed.

About Stan

What life with Stan looks like

Stan is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An 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 Stan, answered.

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