Warner

Male · Adult · 6 years

If you're looking for a friendly, relaxed companion with a loving personality, Warner could be the perfect addition to your family. He is comfortable being left alone for short periods initially, with any longer absences built up gradually as he settles into his new home. Whether he's joining you on outdoor adventures, enjoying quality time with his family, or simply leaning in for a cuddle, Warner is a wonderfully adaptable boy who takes life in his stride. He is ready to bring his calm, affectionate nature to a home that will give him all the love and companionship he deserves. Warner is a handsome six-year-old Husky and German Shepherd Cross with a confident, easy-going nature and a heart full of affection. He loves meeting new people and greets everyone with a wagging tail, happily soaking up all the fuss and even jumping up for cuddles. Warner has lived alongside his lifelong best friend, Oakley, and while he is independent enough to live on his own or with another suitable dog, it would be wonderful if they could find a home together as Oakley takes a great deal of comfort and confidence from him. Warner is exceptionally calm around other dogs, remaining relaxed even if they are reactive, and is equally happy spending time alongside them or doing his own thing. He could also live with sensible primary school-aged children.

About Warner

What life with Warner looks like

Warner is a 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.
