Will

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 7 years

Will is lovely, lively dog who’s full of bounce! Because he can get a bit boisterous and is a strong boy he would be best living with adults only or with sensible older children. He loves playing with teddies and squeaky toys always get his tail wagging! He often likes to just hold a toy in his mouth, which is very cute to see! Will may make doggy friends whilst on walks, but he isn’t overly interested in them and would like to be the only dog in his new home. If you think Will sounds as wonderful as we think he is make sure to add him to your favourites! Will is a really sweet 7 yr old Labrador Cross with lots of energy! He’s super friendly and enthusiastic to meet new people whilst out and about with lots of waggy tails and wiggles! He’s looking for an active home with adopters who can manage a strong dog and are willing to continue with his training (he’s a very quick learner!)

About Will

What life with Will looks like

Will is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

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 Will, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Will?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Leeds 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 — Dogs Trust Leeds 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 Dogs Trust Leeds 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.
