Jeremy

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Hello my name's Jeremy.I’m a big, handsome Dogue de Bordeaux with an even bigger heart. Beneath my impressive size and wonderfully wrinkly face is a gentle, affectionate boy who simply loves being around people. Whether we’re heading out for a stroll or relaxing together afterwards, I’m happiest when I’m by your side.I’ve become a bit of a staff favourite here, and I like to think it’s because I’m such a good boy. I greet everyone with my big squishy face, plenty of affection, and the kind of soulful eyes that somehow convince people I definitely deserve one more treat. (They’re usually right.)I’m looking for a family who will cherish me for the gentle giant I am. Someone who sees beyond my size and knows that underneath it all is a soft-hearted boy who just wants to be loved.If you’re searching for a loyal companion, a devoted best friend, and a dog who’ll make everyone he meets fall in love with him, then I think we should meet. I have a feeling you’ll become my biggest fan! NAWT Hertfordshire Tylers Way Watford-By-Pass Hertfordshire Watford WD25 8WT 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 Jeremy

What life with Jeremy looks like

Jeremy is a extra-large adult dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jeremy, answered.

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