Adopt Blake

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 4 years

Border Collie , Male , 4 years 2 months old Blake is a sweet boy who loves attention and affection. He is the first to come and give you a huge hug and never stops wagging his tail. Blake has come to us as a failed farm collie, so has never lived indoors and is in need of an experienced collie owner. He will need an owner that can help him transition into a house dog. He can be destructive with his blankets and toys sometimes, but we feel this is more boredom. He is learning new things quickly, and has already got the hang of fetch and it's now his favourite game. (Blake has been to to homes where he has coped well with house training after a few days) Blake is a typical working collie and has bags of energy and a smart brain that needs to be put to use. He is ok with other dogs but can get over excited and nip. He is strong on lead but learning fast. Like a lot of collies on a walk, he will lay flat down and watch traffic as they pass and if over stimulated will try and bite car wheels. He also gets very over stimulated around sheep and will not listen when in working mode. He would be best in a home with children over 12 years and with people who have the time and dedication to help him become an amazing boy.

About Blake

What life with Blake looks like

Blake is a extra-large adult border collie dog waiting at Animal Care Lancaster Morecambe in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Blake, answered.

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