Puffy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Puffy is a playful and energetic dog. He enjoys playing fetch and tug-of-war and likes to zoom when he is happy. He is looking for adopters who will give him the home he deserves. Puffy will make a great companion! Meet Puffy, our very own Wookiee! Puffy is looking for active owners who can continue his ongoing training and adopters who are happy to work on his dog socialisation and help manage his emotions around other dogs. As Puffy's dog socialisation improves, with training and introductions, he may have calm walking friends, but for this reason, he should be the only dog and pet in the home. Puffy can live with secondary-aged children, who are gentle and calm and can give him time and space as and when he needs it. Puffy can take some time to settle initially, so he will need owners who are patient and are around to help him settle. He would appreciate minimal leaving time of 1-2 hours, with the potential for this duration to be built up gradually to 4 hours over time.

About Puffy

What life with Puffy looks like

Puffy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Puffy, answered.

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