How do I contact the shelter about Tailor?

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 Tailor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tailor 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 Tailor 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 Tailor 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 Tailor 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.

Tailor

Male · Young · 1 year

Tailor is looking for a calm and predictable home with minimal visitors, especially to begin with, he would like active adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures and provide him with fun and mentally stimulating enrichment to keep his brain busy. He can live with college/sixth form aged children who are confident with a large, playful dog and understand when he is feeling uncomfortable and can give him space to rest when needed. Tailor can be a little frustrated around other dogs, so is looking to be the only pet in the home with no visiting pets, so he can enjoy all of his adopter’s attention to himself, he would be happy with calm and friendly walking buddies to help him socialise. Tailor is a clever boy and has lots of training under his belt, he knows his name and does a lovely “sit”, “paw”, “touch” and “down” to name a few, he is eager to engage in training as long as there are no distractions. He will be going home on a lead in public disclaimer so access to a private, secure garden is a necessity so he can have time pottering and exploring at his leisure off lead. Tailor could settle in the home, so could be left for up to 1-2 hours, he is only young still so this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle in. Tailor will need to meet his adopters multiple times with the potential for home visits prior to going home 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 busy and affectionate Tailor is a 1 year old Labrador/German Shepherd cross with a lot of love to give. This young lad is keen to explore the world around him, he loves to sniff and play; squeaky toys and balls are his favourite, he will bound around after them when thrown. He can be worried meeting strangers, so will take time to warm up to new people, but once he knows you he loves a snuggle on the sofa and will wander off when he has had enough. He is a foodie boy, he will take any treat on offer, but he especially likes soft treats and paste, he takes treats gently from the hand. This pawsome lad is on the look out for his new home.

About Tailor

What life with Tailor looks like

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

An young 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.

🇬🇧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.
