How do I contact the shelter about Storm?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Canterbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Storm on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Storm if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Canterbury 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 Storm 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 Storm 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 Dogs Trust Canterbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Storm 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.

Storm

Male · Adult · 4 years

Storm is looking for a home with active adopters who can take him for sniffy adventures in quiet walking areas, or for a run around in a private field, a family to keep up with his training. He could live with college/sixth form aged children who are confident around a large dog, who will play with him nicely and will give him space to rest when he needs. Storm can sometimes find being in close proximity to dogs a little worrying, so would like to be the only pet in the home so he can have all of the attention to himself and no neighbouring dogs, although he could have friendly and polite walking friends who will help him to continue growing his confidence around other dogs. Storm is a super clever guy and already has some training under his belt, he knows his name and does a lovely “sit”, “down” and “stay”, he is also currently doing muzzle training as he will be going home on a lead and muzzle disclaimer. He is looking for a home with a private, secure garden for him to potter about and have off lead time in. Storm can settle in the home as long as he has had a walk and has enrichment to keep him busy, he could be left alone for up to 1-4 hours, but this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle in. Storm will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home with the potential for home visits to make sure he is settling in well, so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted. Super smart and handsome boy Storm is a 4 year old Shepherd cross Dobermann who loves to play and train new skills in equal measure. He is a sucker for a squeaky toy, especially a ball and adores a good zoom around, throwing the toy in the air, catching it and bounding around with it in his mouth. When out and about he is quite an independent and busy boy, exploring and sniffing everything he can find, he will approach when he fancies, but if you are sat on the sofa he will happily climb up beside you, or sometimes sploot out and nudge you out of the way for ultimate comfort. He loves a good scratch just behind the ears and he gets all wiggly and silly if you get the right spot. This gorgeous boy is ready to find his new home.

About Storm

What life with Storm looks like

Storm is a large adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Canterbury in Chestfield.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Requires muzzle training, separation anxiety, needs multiple meet-and-greets before adoption

🇬🇧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.
