Yoru

Labrador Retriever · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Yoru is looking for a home with experience of dogs, ideally the Pointer breed or similar. He would love a garden to relax in, go for long walks and would love to learn scentwork – he has a great nose! He would prefer his new home to give him company most of the time – Yoru may show separation anxiety in his new home, but our Welfare Team would be available to give support. Yoru is friendly but can be nervous of other people and dogs. He may struggle with social cues from other dogs but he is not aggressive. He would love to socialise with other dogs on a more regular basis. Yoru will pull on the lead, especially at the start of a walk, but walks well off-lead in safe areas and his recall is very good. Yoru is anxious when he travels in a car or on public transport, he will whine. Yoru can be anxious in the waiting room of the vets but ends up loving the attention from them. He does not bark often. He will tolerate a bath and being brushed. Yoru has been to the groomers before and was well-behaved. Yoru is scared of balloons and sometimes small dogs and he does not like cats. Yoru is happiest when he is playing fetch and loves to swim. He is very active and bubbly when he is outside, he loves it. Yoru can be silly and goofy but also likes to snuggle up to you while inside and have a calm moment; he can be really empathetic. He is a smart boy with a good nose and would love to do some scentwork with his new home. © 2025 Dog Aid Scotland (SCIO Charity No. SC001918) Web Design by Techincal Services Scotland.

About Yoru

What life with Yoru looks like

Yoru is a small adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Yoru, answered.

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