Adopt Clairo

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 2 years

A sweet and excitable girl, Clairo has lived in a home previously and her owners described her as having a fun and playful side. On coming in to Battersea Brands Hatch Clairo did struggle with kennel life and too some time to build her confidence once more, she has now found her feet and loves nothing more than running big laps in our paddocks. When it comes to meeting dogs, Clairo has not had much socialisation previously and therefore can show a mixture of emotions being stressed, overwhelmed and then becoming at times too much in her play style when around other dogs. The team at Brands Hatch has been supporting her with gentle introductions with dogs and although she is not at the stage to live with a dogs she would benefit from new owners who will continue to socialise her with them, keeping her walking routes quiet will help her with this ongoing training. Although Clario has previous lived with children due to initial worry and the exuberant play style she would be better suited to older teens who will give her space when needed and help with on going training needs. Clairo would love a private garden to remind her of her housetraining, giving her space to play and interaction with her new family. She absolutely loves her walks and given her age, she will benefit from regular walks to keep her happy and healthy. Clairo is food motivated which makes training both fun and rewarding – she’s a smart cookie who enjoys learning. She also loves mental stimulation games, so enrichment games and activities will go a long way to in keeping her engaged and in becoming a fun-loving companion. If you feel you have a home to offer Clario, Please do get in touch as per below: If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Karl , you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest. ch for the dog in question.

About Clairo

What life with Clairo looks like

Clairo is a large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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 Clairo, answered.

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