Bob

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 8 years

Bob may need some support and training around getting in the car for travelling as he can be worried about getting in. He is not overly bothered by other dogs (he's more interested in making human friends!) but we feel he could share his home with another placid dog that isn't too overbearing for him. If you're looking for a lovely dog to bring into your home make sure to add Bob to your favourites! Bob is a beautiful 8 year old Collie with lots of love and fun to bring to a home! This playful boy loves his walks and is absolutely adorable. He isn't one for too much fuss, but is really friendly and social with people . Bob is not used to being on his own, so he will need owners around all the time initially to help him settle in and find his paws. From there adopters can gradually build up the time he's being left alone. He is a lovely boy who is great company and an amazing house guest! He's house trained and has a spotless kennel!

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is an adult border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

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 Bob, answered.

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