Warner

Male · Adult · 6 years

Warner is a lovely, affectionate boy who can relax beautifully in his kennel, and once he has settled into a new home and routine, he should be able to be left for a few hours. He cannot live with cats, small furries, children or other dogs, so his new family will need to be able to provide him with the calm, predictable environment he needs. Any potential adopters will need to visit Warner here at the centre several times to build a bond with him before he goes home. In return, Warner is ready to bring his calm, affectionate nature, companionship and love to a family who can give him the understanding, patience and space he deserves. Warner is a handsome 6-year-and-10-month-old boy who is confident and friendly when meeting new people. He enjoys getting out and about, exploring his surroundings and taking in all the interesting sights and smells that nature has to offer. Warner is also confident meeting other dogs and would happily enjoy having walking buddies, but he would prefer to be the only dog in his home, as he likes having his humans and toys all to himself. Warner does have a prey drive, so he will need to remain on lead when out and about. He is looking for an adult-only home, ideally with someone who has knowledge or experience of the breed and understands that he needs his own space and time to relax and should be left alone when he chooses.

About Warner

What life with Warner looks like

Warner is a small adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Basildon in Wickford.

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 Warner, answered.

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