Bella

Female · Young · 2 years

Bella is a 2yo Springer x Collie mix, who was surrendered to us after being abandoned by her owner with a family member who wasn’t well enough to care for her. Bella is, as one would expect from the two breeds, a very high energy dog. She is super friendly with all staff, happy to be examined by the vet and is unfazed by any other dogs walking past or speaking to her through her kennel door. We were advised Bella lived with another dog and multiple cats in her previous home but we haven’t spoken to her owner directly about this. She is finding the kennels incredibly stressful at the moment and a full assessment cannot yet be carried out. Bella is meant to be house-trained but the stress of kennels is making her repeatedly soil her kennel day and night, we are trying to remedy this with veterinary assistance. The adoption fee for all dogs is £210. 00. The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs. Applications will close once we find a suitable applicant.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a young adult dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

A 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 Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bella 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 Bella 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 Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella 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.
