Sol

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 8 years

Sol is a sweet boy who shows plenty of affection once he feels comfortable with his trusted friends but it can take him a little time to let his loving personality shine through. He really enjoys bath time and a good grooming session, which he finds calming and relaxing. To help him feel at ease, Sol would love for his new family to commit to visiting him a few times here at the centre so he can get to know you, just as you get to know him. Our training and behaviour team will be on hand to guide you through his needs and support his transition back into home life. Food enrichment is one of Sol’s favourite things, he loves kongs and snuffle mats, which help him feel more settled when he’s worried. Sol is currently on medication to support him with his anxieties, and this would need to be continued in his forever home. Meet Sol, a handsome boy who has recently come back into our care. He previously lived in a home for quite some time, where he became housetrained and learned to spend short periods on his own. Since kennel life can feel overwhelming, we recommend gradually building up any time left alone once he’s settled into his forever home. Sol is a sensitive soul who can find busy or noisy environments a little scary. He would thrive in a calm, adult-only household where he can take things at his own pace and feel safe. Having a quiet retreat for when visitors come over is important, so he has somewhere he won’t be disturbed. Because loud noises can unsettle him, Sol would do best in a peaceful home away from busy roads or heavy street noise. One of Sol’s greatest joys is toys, he isn’t fussy! He’ll happily chase a tennis ball in a game of fetch or proudly carry around his favourite soft teddies. A garden of his own would be the perfect place for him to play and relax. Sol is looking for a home as the only pet where he can enjoy all of the attention to himself.

About Sol

What life with Sol looks like

Sol is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

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 Sol, answered.

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