How do I contact the shelter about Phillip?

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

Can I adopt Phillip if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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 Phillip 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 Phillip 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Phillip 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.

Phillip

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

What a wonderful little chap is Phillip – Big body on little legs and a personality that everyone falls in love with ! Phillip is around 8yrs old and a cross breed boy who originates from a shelter in Romania. He was a little star there and on numerous visits by Safe Rescue was seen happily wandering about freely. However, as he is getting older it was felt that he now needed a warm loving home in which to spend his retirement years. He is being fostered in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. Phillip gets on well with other dogs both in and out of the home. He could live happily as an only dog or alongside others, but what he really loves is his humans and will make the most loyal companion. He adores his little walks and is slowly getting used to the lead as this is a really new thing for him, but he is improving everyday and gradually realising that going on the lead means exciting trips out with his humans ! Phillip can initially be a little hesitant with strangers but once his trust is earned you wouldn’t find a more loyal friend. He has become a little rotund whilst at the shelter as he wasn't getting walks, so will need to increase his fitness levels and lose a few pounds in his forever home. Phillip would like an adult home environment with no cats and most importantly humans that will love him and give him the affection he has never known. Please note – Safe Rescue have a policy that all dogs adopted from them must wear a slip lead on walks. Please only enquire about Safe Rescue dogs if you are happy to always use a slip lead – extendable leads are not acceptable to Safe Rescue. All dogs have to be collected and a crate must be used. Full details of their rehoming policy are on Phillips home page here. ——————————————————— If you can give Phillip the loving home he truly deserves, please contact Safe Rescue below: Tel/Message: or between 9am-5pm Mon-Fri and 9am-4pm Sat Email: Please mention that you saw Phillip on Oldies Club website.

About Phillip

What life with Phillip looks like

Phillip is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club 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.
