Robbie

Male · Young · 1 year

Robbie is a friendly, sociable young dog with a happy personality and plenty of playful puppy energy. He would love an active family to share walks, playtime and adventures with. Found wandering in a village, Robbie was never claimed by his owners. He is now staying in a foster home, where he is settling into family life beautifully. Robbie lives happily with two other dogs, including a senior Labrador, and a cat. He is also house-trained and is proving to be the most gorgeous companion. Robbie would suit a family looking for a cheerful, affectionate young dog. His new family should be ready to continue his training and help him develop into a well-mannered adult. He may be a suitable match for a family with children, subject to an assessment of compatibility. Robbie has had a wonderful start in foster care, but now he needs a permanent home where he can grow, thrive and be loved for life. Could you offer Robbie the forever home he deserves?

About Robbie

What life with Robbie looks like

Robbie is a young adult dog waiting at Starlight Barking Trust in United Kingdom.

A 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 Robbie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Robbie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Starlight Barking Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Robbie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Robbie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Starlight Barking 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Robbie 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 Robbie 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 Starlight Barking Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Robbie 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.
