Autumn

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Meet Autumn Autumn is a stunning young Collie, under three years old, with both beauty and brains in abundance. This lovely girl is friendly, affectionate, and enjoys spending time with her people. She walks beautifully on the lead and is a pleasure to have by your side. In the home, Autumn is calm, settled, and happy to relax, making her a wonderful companion. Like many Collies, Autumn has an active mind and enjoys keeping busy when out and about. She will thrive with a family who can provide plenty of mental stimulation, enrichment, and enjoyable adventures to keep her clever brain engaged. Autumn is good with other dogs and could happily share her home with a suitable canine companion. She is looking for a home with children aged 8 years and over who can enjoy all the fun and companionship she has to offer. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate best friend, Autumn could be the perfect addition to your family.

About Autumn

What life with Autumn looks like

Autumn is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Autumn, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Autumn?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Autumn on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Autumn if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Autumn 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 Autumn 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Autumn 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.
