Adopt Stevie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Breed: Cane Corso Crossbreed Age: 1 Year 6 Months Approx Stevie is a very handsome Cane Corso crossbreed who came to us after an urgent plea from the dog pound. He was an unclaimed stray; his time at the pound was up and he only had a few hours to find a rescue space – thankfully we had a kennel available, and he came to us to find his forever home. Stevie was a little larger than we had anticipated! He’s underweight, but still weighs 38kg. However he has one of the softest, goofiest, loveable personalities! He’s super friendly and affectionate – he loves people, and makes friends with everybody! He walks reasonably well on the lead, and enjoys his walks… he’s not really into playing with his toys yet, he prefers to follow you around for a fuss during his off lead time.

About Stevie

What life with Stevie looks like

Stevie is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society 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 Stevie, answered.

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