Albert

Male · Adult · 5 years

Albert is such a sweet boy, who is ready to find a cosy and loving home all of his own. It's important he's given lots of time and patience to settle in. He may need some support in areas such as housetraining and we recommend any time being left is gradually built up. This sweet boy has so much love to give and will blossom with his forever family. Little Albert is a 5 year old Schnauzer who quite a nervous and frightened boy. He's on the search for a patient family who can take things slow with him and let him find his paws. Albert is looking for a quiet home with upper secondary aged children who can understand his worries. He could happily live with another similar sized, calm and polite dog following a meeting here at the centre. We don't know too much about Alberts past, but he finds things such as walking on lead a little scary, so it's important he has a safe secure garden to explore and play in whilst he settles in.

About Albert

What life with Albert looks like

Albert is a adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

An 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 Albert, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Albert?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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.
