Archie

Mixed Breed · Male

🥰 Meet Archie – Our Gorgeous Silver Lab 🥰 Archie is just one year old and has already received lots of interest, but we really want to find the right experienced home for this lovely boy. Archie came to us through no fault of his own and was initially very anxious and frightened. He spent his first few days shivering at the back of his kennel, but with patience he has come around brilliantly and we're now seeing the fun, playful and affectionate boy underneath. ❤️ He is very clever, eager to learn and highly treat motivated . Once Archie knows and trusts you, he bonds extremely well and is a confident, fun-loving youngster. Archie is good with other dogs but can be anxious when meeting new people and then become over-excited once he relaxes. He therefore needs someone who will take the time to build his trust rather than expecting to meet him and immediately take him out. He is a strong boy on the lead and needs an active home where he can be trained, worked and mentally stimulated . We are looking for an adult-only home with someone around for part of the day , who is prepared to continue his training and socialisation. Archie has so much potential and we would love to see him out of kennels and enjoying the life he deserves. 🏡🐾

About Archie

What life with Archie looks like

Archie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Helpline Dog Rescue 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 Archie, answered.

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