Stanley

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Handsome Stanley came to us from the pound where he was taken as a stray and not claimed. He is a lively young lad who can walk nicely on a lead but when he does pull he is strong and it is usually when he sees another dog or a furry/feathered critter. Stanley can be reactive towards dogs and he would best suited as an only pet but he can walk nicely along side calm dogs. He can’t be homed with cats or small furries. Because of his unknown history, we will home him with children over the age of 12 years old. He is a beautiful boy with a good appetite (mind your fingers sometimes) and he is very clean in his kennel. He curls up very sweetly in his bed. He enjoys squeaky toys but unfortunately they don’t last very long. Stanley can be an affectionate boy and enjoys a fuss. He does a perfect sit and gives a his paw. This boy has been with us since the end of March now. He deserves a loving forever home to call his own.

About Stanley

What life with Stanley looks like

Stanley is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Leicester Animal Rescue in United Kingdom.

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 Stanley, answered.

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