How do I contact the shelter about Jack?

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 Jack on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jack 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 Jack 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 Jack 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 Jack 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.

Jack

English Bulldog · Male · Young · 3 years

Hey everyone, pleased to meet you my name is Jack.I am a very handsome Bulldog. You may be able to see from my photos that I am blind in my right eye - but this doesn't affect me too much so don't let it put you off. I just need you to go nice and slow, and give me time to see things coming using my good side. I am quite noise sensitive which means I am worried by loud bangs and noises and can get scared easily by these so will need a home in a nice quiet location.I am a super affectionate boy and love human company, my little stubby tail just doesn't stop wiggling! I can get a bit too excited at times though and may be a bit humpy or mouthy.....I'm just being honest!!! I can snap out of it quickly though and I promise I will make a great companion for somebody.Although I don't want to walk miles, I am totally up for getting out and about and going exploring together. I can settle well into my lead walking but will just need someone who can cope with my strength as when I see other dogs I will try and pull towards them. After the initial excitement of going out, I love nothing more than having a good old sniff, so a nice garden would be ideal for me.I can be reactive towards some dogs, I'm a bit hiss and miss to be honest, and I have had an incident with a dog in the past, so I will need responsible owners who will keep me on a lead and help me get muzzle trained for some extra safety and your piece of mind.I am good at being left home alone for a few hours - you will most probably find me curled up sleeping on the sofa when you return.I am great to handle but due to just needing a bit of care around my eye, a home with teenage children of 16 plus, or adults who won't be so fast moving and noisy would be best for me. I am looking for a home through the Home Direct Scheme due to my current owners health, so I will still with him until a suitable match for me is found. All meets will be done at the Centre.

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a young adult english bulldog 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. 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.
