Tanner

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Young · 2 years

Tanner arrived with us as a stray locally but we have been able to chat to his first owners in England. He’s lived with kids but is just too boisterous for them so needs more hardy kids that are harder to knock over. He’s a friendly happy boy with all humans, even the vet! He’s ok with other dogs out walking about but can be a bit full on and other dogs find him just too much. He’s going to chase cats or any other small furry or feather creature out of excitement but then will likely squish them! This boy doesn’t ever sit still and needs a new owner with a good sense of humour and plenty of patience to teach him some manners and give him the mental stimulation he so craves. He’s house-trained but wasn’t ever left alone for long and might have a wee nibble of household items if left alone too long! *please note that this photograph is deceptive, he is around 20kgs so not as small as the photo might lead you to believe The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs.

About Tanner

What life with Tanner looks like

Tanner is a small young adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

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 Tanner, answered.

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