Adopt Amber

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

We don't know much hisory about Amber other than she was rescued from a public shelter in Romania. When we agreed to her, we were told that she has a best from called Roxy and they've been giving each other so much confidence and so they travlled together.Amber can be very timid, and sometimes quite vocal, if she doesn't know you but she warms up quickly and has amazing potential to be a great dog for a home with no younger kids. We've not yet done a huge amount of dog mixing with Amber as of yet, but from what we've seen, she can be quite dog selective. She loves her bestie Roxy but even then, they've had a couple of squabbles started by Amber. We would consider Amber living with another dog but it would be based on the right match. The dog would need to be large in size, definately no smaller than her. Amber has not been cat tested. She's not yet comfortable on a collar and lead and so it wouldn't be safe to cat test her at this time. Amber is an active girl, she loves been out in the fields playing with her friends. When she's lead trained, we think she's going to love some long hikes. Amber has never been in a home and so any time alone would need to be slowly built up over time. Amber does accept a collar / harness and lead. She is showing great potential, she just needs her confidence building. Amber has no form of basic training.

About Amber

What life with Amber looks like

Amber is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Oakwood Dog Rescue in Kingston upon Hull.

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 Amber, answered.

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