Adopt Albie

Pug · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hello... I’m Albie, and I’ve been told I’m ridiculously handsome and squishy!I came into rescue with my friend Eden after we were sadly left at a vet practice. I think Eden is absolutely brilliant and I’m very happy following her around, even if she sometimes acts like she could take or leave my company. I don’t mind though, I’m just a sweet boy who likes having friends around. I’m around four years old, and the humans say one of my best features is my adorable wiggly bum. Apparently, when I get excited to see people, my whole back end joins in. I just can’t help myself.I absolutely love cuddles, cosy naps, tasty snacks, and generally being adored. I’m a big fan of food, maybe a little too much of a fan if we’re being honest, so I’m currently on a diet to help me lose some weight and improve my breathing. It’s really important that my future family helps me stay fit and healthy so I can avoid any health issues and keep feeling my best.I’ll also need some surgery soon to help with my breathing, but through it all I remain a very happy, loving little guy who just wants affection and a comfy place to snooze.I could potentially live with older children who are gentle and kind. I may also be able to live with a cat, although I haven’t been cat tested yet, so slow introductions would be important. Unlike Eden, I actually quite enjoy having canine company and could happily live with another friendly dog.More than anything, I’m looking for a loving home where I can be spoiled appropriately (within my diet plan, of course), enjoy plenty of cuddles, and wiggle my way right into your heart.If you’re searching for a soft-hearted, affectionate companion with the sweetest little bum wiggles around... I think we might be perfect for each other. NAWT Hertfordshire Tylers Way Watford-By-Pass Hertfordshire Watford WD25 8WT Choose an item from our Amazon wish-list and it will come straight to us! Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Albie

What life with Albie looks like

Albie is a large adult pug dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. National Animal Welfare Trust 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 — National Animal Welfare Trust 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 National Animal Welfare Trust 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.
