Pointer · Male · Young · 3 years

Could you be my perfect match? Hello! My name is I can live with Dogs Cats Children MY story Stanley came to us after he was found dumped with an old leg injury possibly from a car accident. He has had X-rays and he has been given the all clear from the vet and no further treatment is needed. He is pops to hydrotherapy to help build up the muscles in the back leg but he does just fine on it. We are happy to cover the cost of hydro fro him.You would have no idea Stanley had an old leg injury. He is a happy, bouncy, loving Pointer ❤️He is high energy and will need lots of mental stimulation as with any Pointer! So enrichment and brain games will be your best friend. He has met other dogs and is ok and not reactive with them but in a home he can be a bit of nuisance to resident dogs which irritates them 😅 we feel he would likely be just fine as an only dog as he loves his cuddles and fuss and is keen just to learn and train really! We would say no cats too, he is likely to chase them and older children as he is excitable. Stanley walks with lots of the kennel volunteers but has a special soft spot for Babara and Michelle who give him lots of cuddles and biscuits, they cannot speak more highly of him and what a lovely lad he is! Stanley desperately needs a sofa of his own as he has been in kennels most of this year sadly! MY PERFECT HOME Stanley will need a secure garden with a 6ft fence. He has been in kennels for a while now so you will likely need to get him used to the toilet routine and going out regularly. Expect some accidents! As with all dogs on going training will be needed and he does train very well! OUR 1 Fill in application form Please fill in the form as honestly as possible.

About Stanley

What life with Stanley looks like

Stanley is a medium-sized young adult pointer dog waiting at Angels 4 Dogs Rescue in United Kingdom.

A 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. Angels 4 Dogs 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 — Angels 4 Dogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Angels 4 Dogs 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.
