Albie

Male · Adult · 5 years

Albie is a sweet boy who enjoys a gentle fuss from his people and is usually quick to make friends. He takes great pleasure in the simple things in life and is never happier than when he's relaxing close to those he loves. Like any true Spaniel, Albie spends much of his time with his nose to the ground, investigating every interesting scent he can find. He's gradually coming out of his shell and growing in confidence, so he'll need a family who can continue supporting him on that journey. Albie is a 5-year-old Springer Spaniel who could live with another calm, respectful dog. While he enjoys the company of other dogs and would benefit from some social dog friends, he's still finding his feet and building confidence around them. He can live with secondary school-aged children and, as he's never been left on her own before, will need adopters who can gradually help him get used to spending short periods alone. Albie can also be a little unsure about travelling in the car, so he'll need a family willing to take things at his pace. Our Training and Behaviour team will be on hand to offer guidance and support before and after adoption.

About Albie

What life with Albie looks like

Albie is an adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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. Dogs Trust Shrewsbury 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 — Dogs Trust Shrewsbury 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Dogs Trust Shrewsbury 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.
