Champ

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Hey there I'm Champ.My owner has now found himself having to work away from home for long periods of time and knows that's not fair on me, so he has asked for help through The Home Direct Scheme. The team at the centre will be trying to find me a suitable home and will conduct all of the meetings.I am a cracker of a dog - very good looking with the best temperament that you might find! I am so friendly, a real big softie!!! I am great with all people including children, and can live with cats and other dogs, so I literally tick lots of boxes!!!I am not huge.....but I am a bouncy, young, larger sized dog so will need someone who can hold me on the lead and who wont get pushed over easily if I jump up for some extra big cuddles and kisses. I am full of energy so will need a new owner who is up for some fun and adventures each and every day as I have a lot of energy to burn.I am used to always having someone around so wouldn't like to be left alone for long periods. If you did, I would probably get bored very quickly and bark a bit.At home I like to sleep on my very own arm chair or sit beside you, or even on you......if I can get on your lap!So come on everyone, I have lots of sloppy Champ kisses ready and waiting xx NAWT Cornwall Wheal Alfred Kennels Wheal Alfred Road Hayle Cornwall TR27 5JT 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 Champ

What life with Champ looks like

Champ is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

An young 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 Champ, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Champ?
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 Champ on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Champ 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 Champ 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 Champ 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 Champ 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.
