Adopt Annie

Border Collie · Female · Puppy · 7 months

Annie is a super sweet girl, with a lot of potential to be an amazing family dog! She is very intelligent, and would love to be taken to fun agility or activity classes where she can use her brain. Annie is sweet with other dogs, but can be a bit vocal at a distance in true puppy fashion. She is such a lovely little dog with lots of fun to be had! She will make her new family incredibly happy. Meet the sweetheart, Annie! Annie is a 5-month old Border Collie looking for her forever home. Annie is a super sweet, playful puppy looking for an active home that are able to offer her the enrichment and stimulation she needs on a daily basis. Annie would like to be the only dog in the home while she gains confidence, as she hasn't socialised with many dogs and needs some work on this. Any children in the home should be 8yrs+. Annie is quite bouncy and excitable so would benefit going home with a family that are interested in training. Annie would love fun, enriching activities such as Sheepball and Agility to keep her mind and body busy. Annie loves to have a cuddle with her people, and will enjoy a fuss from new people. She is a very clever girl with bags of potential and would love a fun, active home where she can be kept busy. Annie is not currently house-trained, so will need some help with this as well as walking on a lead, as this is still a bit spooky! Annie loves to explore new places, sniffing out all the best smells! She will love to live in a rural area where she can enjoy all the best sniffs!

About Annie

What life with Annie looks like

Annie is a puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Annie, answered.

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