Bett

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 5 years

Bett is a failed working dog who came to us from her owner, she prefers to chase sheep, rather than herd them! She’s been a kennel dog all of her life but is pretty clean in her kennel here. Bett & Moss are siblings and exercise together in the yard but we’re told she is unpredictable around other dogs. She will chase cats and other small furry creatures. She loves cuddling all the staff and volunteers at the kennels, was happy to be examined by the vet but has never been around small children. Bett is quite anxious about getting a lead on and going for a walk, she has never walked on a pavement or been to a cafe so and will need further training from an experienced dog owner who will be prepared to take time introducing her to domestic life. The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs. Applications will close once we find a suitable applicant.

About Bett

What life with Bett looks like

Bett is a small adult border collie dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

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 Bett, answered.

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