Stitch

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Stitch is a 3 year old Labrador Collie cross looking for an active home to call his own.This energetic boy loves nothing more than running, playing and spending time with his people. Always ready for an adventure, Stitch would thrive with a family who can keep both his mind and body busy. We think he'd be a fantastic candidate for activities such as flyball, where he can put his enthusiasm and energy to good use!Stitch would thrive in a home where he can be the only pet, where he can enjoy all the attention and continue building his confidence to help him feel secure when relaxing on his own.If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will be by your side every step of the way, Stitch could be the perfect match for you.

About Stitch

What life with Stitch looks like

Stitch is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Stitch, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stitch?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. National Animal Welfare Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stitch on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Stitch if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — National Animal Welfare 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Stitch 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 Stitch 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 National Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stitch 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.
