Lazarus

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Lazarus is a dutch herder x about 5-6 years old. he s a very loving boy that enjoys a cuddle.Quite strong on the lead but that could be worked on. He gets on well with other dogs and has lived in a multi dog foster home but would need to be fed separately. He has been waiting for over a year for a home of his own and we would love to help him find it. He weighs around 17 kg so not huge but he can be a bit like a bull in a china shop to start with. He just needs someone to give him a chance to settle down and finally feel like he is home. He is id chipped neutered and vaccinated. Could you be the person he is looking for to make his dream come true ?

About Lazarus

What life with Lazarus looks like

Lazarus is an extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at item in Alston.

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 Lazarus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lazarus?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. item handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lazarus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lazarus if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — item 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lazarus 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 Lazarus 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 item early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lazarus 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.
