Reggie

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 4 years

Reggie is a lovely 4-year-old Labrador with a sweet nature and lots of personality. He enjoys calmly exploring his surroundings, sniffing new environments and checking in regularly with his people for fuss and reassurance. He has been friendly with everyone he has met and approaches people with relaxed and waggy body language. Reggie enjoys affection but is also happy doing his own thing, often choosing to relax nearby after having a cuddle or bum scratch. He has lovely manners with handling and settles calmly for things like having his lead and equipment put on or taken off. This handsome boy enjoys an active lifestyle and would love adopters who can include him in walks, adventures and ongoing training. He is very food motivated, which makes him eager to learn and great fun to work with. Reggie can sometimes make poor choices around non-food items and may pick up or chew things he shouldn’t if left unsupervised, so he will need a home that can help manage this safely while continuing his training and enrichment. With the right guidance and support, Reggie will make a fun, loyal and loving companion for a family ready to help him thrive. Reggie is a friendly and affectionate Labrador who is looking for an active home where he can enjoy lots of adventures, enrichment and quality time with his people. He loves food, playing fetch and exploring the world around him, and would thrive with adopters who are keen to continue his training and build his confidence. Reggie is looking for a home where he can be the only dog. Although he has lived with other dogs previously, he can become worried around some dogs, particularly if they are very vocal or overwhelming. He would benefit from a calm and understanding home that can continue helping him feel more comfortable around dogs at his own pace using positive training. Reggie could live with children pending successful meets at the centre. He has spent time around children of various ages, including young children, and has been described as gentle around them. Reggie travels really well in the car and happily settles in a crate for journeys. He can be left for short periods and generally settles quickly, but leaving hours may need to be built up gradually while he adjusts to his new home. Reggie is looking for adopters who are happy to continue his ongoing training and provide him with plenty of mental stimulation, exercise and companionship.

About Reggie

What life with Reggie looks like

Reggie is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Dogs Trust Newbury in Newbury.

An 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 Reggie, answered.

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