Adopt Oscar

Beagle · Male · Senior · 9 years

Hello everyone, I'm Oscar.I am hoping to find a new home where I can see out my senior years. I am a Beagle cross and definitely have a lot of the Beagle traits, but am a larger size, more like a Hound really.I can walk well, but as soon as pick up a scent my nose does go into overdrive and I become quite strong and pully, hence why I am wearing my snazzy headcollar. I will be honest and let you know that I don't have any recall skills so will need to remain on a long line unless in a secure area. This also means I will need a secure garden to prevent me from being mischievous and escaping.I am a really lovely boy though, with a great character who enjoys a real fuss and lots of cuddles. I am good to handle and am great around children. I enjoy exercise and will be hoping for a new owner who will be taking me on lots of walks, when I return home I like to retreat to a space just for me and have a good old snooze.I am not used to being left alone for too long, and am a bit of a food thief so make sure you keep things out of my reach. I am not really bothered by much apart from the windy weather - that scares me a bit!I have never lived with another dog but I am very friendly and really enjoy playing with dogs that I meet so this may be a possibility for me.I just hope there is a home out there with space for a fabulous companion like me xx Oscar xx NAWT Cornwall Wheal Alfred Kennels Wheal Alfred Road Hayle Cornwall TR27 5JT Choose an item from our Amazon wish-list and it will come straight to us! Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a senior beagle dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Oscar, answered.

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