How do I contact the shelter about Albert?

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

Can I adopt Albert if I live in another country?

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

Albert

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

Albert is a sweetheart, who can be a bit spooked by sudden movements and noises so would prefer a quieter home environment. He can be a bit wary of males, so will need a bit of support with his confidence in his new home. Albert would prefer for his new family to be home with him for the majority of the time at first, as he doesn't love being left alone. Once comfortable with his people, he is an angel and adores a cuddle. He loves to play with toys, though has shown some low level guarding around this and high value treats, so would need management of this in the home and a solid 'drop & swap' to ensure he isn't challenged for any resources in the home. Albert is a wonderful young chap with so much potential, and we know he'll make his new family very happy. Meet Albert, a beautiful 2 -year old Labrador looking for his forever home! Albert is a lovely boy, who absolutely loves attention! He is very playful, active and eager to have treats. He can be a bit worried meeting new people initially, so would prefer to live with sensible secondary school aged children and over. Albert does need a bit of work on his social skills, so would prefer to be the only dog in the home, but is happy to make friendly female friends out and about. Albert prefers walks in quieter areas as he can be a bit reactive to other males. Albert will need a bit of confidence building in some areas, but will be a wonderfully affectionate boy to his family. He is fully house-trained, and loves a good bit of cheese or pate when he's being a good boy. This will also be a great aid in any training! Albert is good on lead, though can pull when excited and would love an active family that can take him on fun adventures. Albert loves to play fetch with his toys and has a real love of tennis balls. We can't wait to see this handsome chappy living it up in his forever home!

About Albert

What life with Albert looks like

Albert is a young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

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.
