How do I contact the shelter about Lola?

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

Can I adopt Lola if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Harefield 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 Lola 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 Lola 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 Dogs Trust Harefield early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lola 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.

Lola

Shar Pei · Female · Adult · 7 years

A true foody, Lola enjoys anything that keeps her belly satisfied— whether that’s dinner time, food-based enrichment activities, long-lasting chews, or being rewarded with tasty treats during training. However, as food is so important to Lola, she prefers to enjoy her favourite thing in peace, so an undisturbed area of the house to feed her would be recommended. While she’s an independent-natured girl, once you’ve earned her trust, Lola will make for a loyal and loving companion, who’ll become increasingly affectionate and enjoy gentle fusses or bum scratches. Her other most-loved pastimes include investigating the woods on a long-line, utilising her clever brain with fun training, and showing off her tricks! She is a dog that will never fail to make you smile- she has so much character! If you are looking for a sweet independent- but loving girl, Lola is the right girl for you! Loveable lady Lola is looking for understanding adopters, who could take the time to get to know her gradually, and who have the interest to teach their furry friend new skills. A sensitive pooch at times, Lola is seeking a family, who lead a quieter, yet active lifestyle. Her ideal home setup would be somewhere calm and peaceful, where she can settle in at her own pace and enjoy a zoom about in the garden. Lola has been building up her confidence around walking where other dogs are nearby. However, she can be overwhelmed when other dogs come too close to her and would best be suited to quieter walking areas, away from the hustle and bustle of busy town centres or dog parks. Lola must be the only pet in her new abode and will need to wear her muzzle when out in public. She is fully muzzle-trained and has learnt to wear this using positive reinforcement training. She could live with dog-savvy older secondary aged children. Lola would benefit from a secure and private garden that she can enjoy with her family. Lola has some medical considerations that will be discussed with our vet team upon a booking.

About Lola

What life with Lola looks like

Lola is a medium-sized adult shar pei dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

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.

Note from the shelter: Must wear muzzle in public, has medical considerations requiring vet discussion, needs food resource guarding management

🇬🇧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.
