Adopt Paddy

Labradoodle · Male · Adult · 5 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled Paddy hasn’t been left home alone much in his history, he should be able to be built up to a few hours after a settling in period and his home alone training being worked on. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Paddy has a current medical condition, namely a gait abnormality, 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. Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? Yes, conditionally - A bold, dog savvy cat following correct introductions Can I live with small pets? Yes, conditionally - Securely housed small pets that he won't have access too Additional information Paddy isn’t interested in other dogs, he is comfortable sharing space but doesn’t get much from other dogs. He can have visiting dogs who won’t pester him and will happily do their own thing. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Paddy can live with children aged 11+. He is polite when meeting new people but once he’s built a relationship with you, he’s an affectionate boy who will bury his head in your lap for fuss. What type of environment would suit me? Paddy needs a secure, private garden in his new home so that he’s got a safe space to play and relax in. About Paddy Meet Paddy, a sweet and sociable boy with a big heart. He loves playtime with his favourite toys. Paddy can be a little sensitive on walks, particularly around loud noises but loves trotting around out and about otherwise. Once he feels secure, his affectionate and playful nature really shines through. Paddy will make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a loyal and fun friend.

About Paddy

What life with Paddy looks like

Paddy is a large adult labradoodle 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. 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 Paddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Paddy?
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 Paddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Paddy 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 Paddy 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 Paddy 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 Paddy 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
