Lucky

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

Big soft lad Lucky is looking for his forever home. Lucky is a very friendly, loyal and loving dog. He loves cuddles, loves attention and he loves to play. He absolutely loves water! Lucky loves going for walks, he is good on the lead and doesnt really pull. He’s spent time with other dogs and is very sociable and playful, he generally likes bigger dogs and can be wary around smaller breeds. Although he has never lived with another dog he could potentially after a successful meet. We feel a large enclosed garden would be beneficial as he likes to run around and play. Lucky has been brought up around a young child and we feel he would happily live in a family home. He has not been cat tested. He likes travelling in the car and is happy being left for around 4 hours. If you feel you could offer Lucky the loving home he deserves please contact the office directly on or click on “Request to adopt Lucky now”.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at DAWGS.

An young 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 Lucky, answered.

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