Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 5 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Link will need ongoing training and support around strangers in his new home, which we will help guide you through. Can I be left alone? Yes In Link’s previous home, he would be comfortable being home alone for a full working day. Link shows great potential to be able to be left alone for this length of time again, with the right support and guidance in his new home. Do I have any medical conditions? History of Link had a historic medical incident, he ingested a foreign body requiring surgical removal, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? Yes, conditionally - Securely housed small pets that he won't have access too Additional information Link is generally indifferent around other dogs and will happily walk past them, but if another dog barks at Link, he will bark back. Link doesn’t get much from other dogs, much preferring to engage in some training with his people when he’s out on walks. He would prefer walking in quieter area’s where off lead dogs won’t constantly be running over to him. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Link is looking for an adult only home with no young visiting children due to his worries around strangers. He will need all family members to be involved with his training and advocate for him when out on walks. Link enjoys affection from his favourite people, often enjoying a snuggle on the sofa. Other times he can be independent and prefers his own space and company. He loves nothing more however than learning new tricks and training with his favourite people! What type of environment would suit me? Link will need access to his own private and secure garden, with 6ft fencing, to play, explore and relax in. About Link Link is a typical Labrador in the sense that he adores his walks, or he’s often found taking a dip in a lake, rolling around on his back or showing off his repertoire of tricks! Underneath, Link is a worried boy and is looking for an understanding and patient home who can continue his training around strangers. Link forms strong bonds and will be the most amazing companion; he’d be great as a jogging partner or exercise buddy. Link would love an quiet home with plenty of access to quiet spaces to explore. He is a super smart boy who is always up for learning new tricks and having fun!

About Link

What life with Link looks like

Link is a small adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

An 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 Link, answered.

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