Adopt Sumo

Rottweiler · Male · Puppy · 18 months

Breed: Rottweiler / Newfoundland X Hey everyone, my name is Sumo, I am a lockdown puppy. I am a high energy boy and due to this and my size, I would not suit a household with children under 16 years old. I am a big boisterous boy and would be too excitable for smallies. I like my space and must be in a home as an only dog. Also, no small furies please, the temptation to chase them is too much for me. I am a bit nervous when I first meet new people and I may bark as I am unsure, but when I get to know you, I am just a big puppy truly affectionate and as mad as a hatter , I do love a snuggle. I still need some training on the lead as I am really strong. As they put it, I am a work in progress. I can tell they all love me though as I am a pure rogue.

About Sumo

What life with Sumo looks like

Sumo is a small puppy/kitten rottweiler dog waiting at Sera Husky & Animal Rescue in V31 WE16.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Sumo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sumo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sera Husky & Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sumo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sumo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sera Husky & 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sumo 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 Sumo 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 Sera Husky & Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sumo 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.
