Nell

Labrador Retriever · Female · Puppy · 10 months

Nell has that wonderfully daft young-dog energy and can often be found zooming around after leaves as if they've personally challenged her to a race. When she's had enough of being busy, she'll proudly carry her LickiMat back to bed and rearrange her blankets into the perfect nest before curling up in a little ball. Nell is a lovely mix of playful youngster and oversized baby, and watching her confidence grow is incredibly rewarding. It may take her a little while to decide you're one of her people, but once she does, you'll have a loyal little shadow who wants to be involved in everything you're doing. Nell is a stunning 10-month-old Cane Corso x Labrador who is looking for a home where she can be the only pet. She could live with secondary school-aged children and, as she has never been left alone before, any time spent on her own will need to be built up gradually once she has settled in. Nell is still gaining confidence with car travel and can find the world a little overwhelming at times, so she would love patient owners who are willing to help her build her confidence and support her as she learns. Continued socialisation around other dogs would also be beneficial for her.

About Nell

What life with Nell looks like

Nell is a puppy labrador retriever dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Nell, answered.

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