Adele

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Adele is the one with most white on her, in the pics Introducing... adorable Adele! Adele is still just a youngster at 2 years old, she has spent her whole life living in shelters in Romania and at Oakwood Dog Rescue. We had a plea from a volunteer rescuer that had just been at the Romanian shelter stating that there were 2 pups there that were completely withdrawing into themselves and were starting to shut down. They were very worried that these 2 babies wouldn't survive the winter as they were already so frail, and temperatures had already dropped to -5 degrees. It usually gets to -20 during their winter months. In the photos, Adele is attached to Beyonce's side. Over time though, these 2 girls have made many new friends and are no longer reliant on each other. They both now kennel share with different dogs and are settled and happy with their groups. Adele has never lived in a home before and so would require time, patience, understanding and lots of positive based training to help her learn the ropes of home life. Adele loves playing out with the other pups and adult dogs. She is a very nervous girl and gains confidence from being around other dogs, she would need at least one other dog in the home and they would need to be of similar or larger size than Adele. Adele is has met a cat whilst in our care. She was off lead and showed no prey drive. Please note - it was a very confident cat that she met so if she were to meet a cat that was skitty and ran, it is likley that she would chase due to a dogs natural instinct to do so. Adele loves nothing more than running around our fields and yards with all of her doggy friends. She's not ready to come inside a minute before the kennel shift is over. Adele has moderate to high energy levels at present. Adele has never before lived in a home. She will need to be left for minimal periods to begin with so she can settle in and realise that she is safe. This time alone (with another dog) can be built up so she'd be able to be left up to around 4 hours Adele is not yet lead trained. She is still very unsure about being handled and so lead training will come once she has built a bond with her new family Adele has no form of basic training. This will all come in time once she has settled and learnt to fully trust her adopters

About Adele

What life with Adele looks like

Adele is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Oakwood Dog Rescue in Kingston upon Hull.

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 Adele, answered.

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