Evie

Labrador Retriever · Female · Young · 2 years

Evie will thrive with adopters who understand that building trust takes time and who are happy to let her set the pace. A quieter home in a small residential area, with a secure garden to help continue her house training and give her a safe space to settle, would suit her perfectly. Evie would benefit from someone who is around for most of the day initially, allowing her to adjust gradually before being left for longer periods, and she'd love opportunities to make a few steady dog friends who can help build her confidence. She will need an adult only home or one with sensible older teenagers as long as they can recognise and respect her body language. Thoughtful introductions to visitors and calm walking locations will help her continue to blossom. Evie is a two year old Collie Cross with a lot of love to give! Behind Evie's nervous exterior is an incredibly sweet girl looking for an understanding home and patient adopters who are willing to go slow and work at her speed. She's a lovely walking companion who stays close by your side, happily taking in the world at her own gentle pace, and she's always keen for her adventures to continue. She travels well in the car too, making countryside walks an ideal way to explore together. Evie may need someone willing to go slowly at first, but she'll repay that kindness with quiet loyalty, growing confidence and a special bond that only becomes stronger with time.

About Evie

What life with Evie looks like

Evie is a small young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shoreham in Shoreham by Sea.

An young 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 Evie, answered.

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