How do I contact the shelter about Will?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Woodgreen Pets Charity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Will on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Will if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Woodgreen Pets Charity 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 Will 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 Will 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 Woodgreen Pets Charity early rather than rehoming privately; they know Will 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.

Will

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 5 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs some support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled Will’s behaviour when left is unknown to us. Any home alone time for him will need to be built up from scratch, then adjusted according to how he responds to it. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Will has current and historic medical conditions, namely Hip dysplasia (mild), Lipoma (fatty lump) and requires dental (this will be done at Woodgreen), that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Will did not have the chance to socialise with dogs and so doesn’t know how best to interact with them. He seems to ignore other dogs, meaning he could potentially walk with other dogs who also show no interest in him. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? We don’t have any history of Will with children. He is a very wiggly boy and can get very excitable, because of this if his future household has children they should be 8 years +. What type of environment would suit me? Will has lots of energy and loves to play! So he will need a garden with 6ft fencing in his new home where he can run around and let out this energy. Especially as he cannot go off lead in public. About Will Will is a lovable Labrador who is rediscovering the world after spending a long time in kennels. Full of enthusiasm and affection, this sweet boy is looking for a patient and understanding home to help him continue building his confidence and enjoying all the adventures life has to offer. Will absolutely adores being with his people. Whether you’re heading out for a walk, relaxing at home, or planning a day out exploring, he’ll be happiest right by your side. He forms strong bonds with those he trusts and has so much love to give. Having spent a significant amount of time in kennels, Will has missed out on some important social experiences. He is currently very under-socialised around other dogs and can find these interactions challenging, so he’ll need ongoing support and confidence-building in this area. For the right adopter, helping Will learn that the world isn’t such a scary place will be an incredibly rewarding journey. Like any true Labrador, Will loves his toys and is always ready for a game. He has plenty of energy and would thrive with an active owner who can provide regular exercise, exciting adventures, and lots of mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, training sessions, scent work, and exploring new places will all help keep this clever boy happy and fulfilled. Will is looking for a home that can offer patience, consistency, and plenty of love as he continues to find his feet in the real world. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, affectionate companion who will be devoted to his family and ready to make up for lost time.

About Will

What life with Will looks like

Will is a small adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

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.
