Albie

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Albie is a sweet and friendly cross breed medium sized boy aged 8yrs old. Safe Rescue have him patiently waiting in his foster home in Norwich, Norfolk, for his forever family. Albie was saved after being found abandoned in a field in Romania 5 years ago and then lived happily with his new family here. Sadly he has now been returned as he found it hard to adjust to a new baby arrival. He is happy in the company of other dogs but could also live quite happily as an only dog. He has previously lived with cats too, so could share his new home with feline friends. Albie would like an adult family which is calm and peaceful. He does not like loud noises or sudden movements. He adores his walks and loves being stroked and groomed. He is such a gentle and loving boy and will make a wonderful addition to his new family. Please note – Safe Rescue have a policy that all dogs adopted from them must wear a slip lead on walks. Please only enquire about Safe Rescue dogs if you are happy to always use a slip lead – extendable leads are not acceptable to Safe Rescue. All dogs have to be collected and a crate must be used. Full details of their rehoming policy are on Albie"s home page here. If you have a calm, adult home that could welcome in gentle Albie, please contact Safe Rescue below Tel/Message: or between 9am-5pm Mon-Fri and 9am-4pm Sat Email: Please mention that you saw Albie on Oldies Club website.

About Albie

What life with Albie looks like

Albie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

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 Albie, answered.

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