Bam

Collie · Female · Young · 1 year

Bam is a gorgeous girl, and cannot wait to find her forever home! She is incredibly foodie, which is very helpful with any training her new family will want to do with her. She has shown some interest in balls, and will chase them but hasn't quite got the hang of a fetch! She would love a Collie family that know what a young pup needs. She is not house-trained, so may need some help and structure around this but she will make a wonderful companion for an active family. We can't wait to see this beautiful angel in her forever home. Meet gorgeous Bam, a 1-year old Collie looking for her forever home! Bam is able to live with another dog in the home, and children over secondary school age. Bam is such a sweet, gentle girl. She is super affectionate and absolutely loves her people! She can be a bit underconfident and conflicted with handling at times, but comes around very quickly and loves a cwtch. Bam also really loves other dogs, but can be worried initially if they're quite bouncy! She does love a zoom around and a play once she's gotten used to them. Bam walks well on lead, and is excited to get out and about to explore, though some things can spook her a bit still. Bam is a young girl, who would love a chance to build her confidence and get stuck in with some training to enrich her busy brain! Her perfect family would be a very active one, that can take her for fun adventures and partake in some fun breed specific activities once confident enough!

About Bam

What life with Bam looks like

Bam is a young adult collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

An young 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 Bam, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bam?
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 Bam on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bam 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 Bam 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 Bam 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 Bam 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.
