Joey

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Joey is a 5-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 favourite people. Always ready for an adventure, Joey 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, intelligence and energy to good use!Joey would thrive in a home where he can be the only pet, allowing him to enjoy all the attention to himself. He has formed strong bonds with his people and would benefit from adopters who can continue helping him build confidence and independence, supporting him as he learns to relax when spending time on his own.Joey is a lovely boy with lots of energy and can be quite bouncy when he's excited, so a household with slightly older children would help set him up for success.If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who'll join you on every adventure and always be ready for the next game, Joey could be the perfect match for you.

About Joey

What life with Joey looks like

Joey is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Joey, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Joey?: 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 Joey on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Joey 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Joey 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 Joey 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 Joey 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.
