How do I contact the shelter about Flossie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Angels 4 Dogs Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Flossie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Flossie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Angels 4 Dogs 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 Flossie 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 Flossie 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 Angels 4 Dogs Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flossie 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.

Flossie

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 8 years

Could you be my perfect match? Hello! My name is I can live with Dogs Cats Children MY story Flossie came to us as an emergency case. She had been taken to the vets with a life threatening condition that her owners were not prepared to treat. So after a week and already nearly dead Flossie was signed over to us. We never thought for one minute Flossie would survive but she wanted to live so badly. She fought and fought and after 5 days she was well enough to come home to her foster. We have spent the next few months getting Flossie back to full health and seeing many specialist along the way. Finally Flossie is to a stage where she is ready to find her forever home. The only one last problem is Flossie has hip dysplasia. On vet’s advice this will be managed with pain medication and hydrotherapy. As a rescue we will happily cover the costs of hydrotherapy and any on going issues related to the hips but everything else would be down to you the adopter. This is what Flossie’s current foster mum has to say: Flossie is an all round entertainer, she loves everyone, especially small children . She gets on well with the resident cats but did have slow introductions as she wants to play chase and they don’t, now there are lots of head rubs and kisses on demand. She sleeps really well, completely house trained, she will join in the neighbourhood bark fest but is quiet when you tell her. She loves her food and yours ( don’t leave it in her reach she's a typical Lab!) she takes off quickly on her walks but slows down as soon as you tell her. She thinks she is a cat -chases birds and will squeeze on the sofa with them. There is no personal space where you are she wants to be with you a lot -she is a typical Labrador absolutely adorable! MY PERFECT HOME Flossie will need a secure garden with 6ft fencing and no gaps at all. As with all dogs on going training will be needed. Flossie needs to be the only dog, she can live with cats and children 12+. OUR ADOPTION PROCESS 1 Fill in application form Please fill in the form as honestly as possible.

About Flossie

What life with Flossie looks like

Flossie is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Angels 4 Dogs Rescue in United Kingdom.

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.
