Bob

Collie · Unknown

he time, patience, love and understanding he needs to settle into his new home. Sadly, Bob has been returned to us twice because he hasn't been given enough time to settle in. We know that finding the right home is so important for him, and we're determined to find someone who understands that settling into a new environment can take time. Bob absolutely loves spending time out in the field with the other dogs, running around and enjoying himself. It's lovely to see him having fun! Bob is looking for an adult-only home with someone who can offer him a calm, patient and loving environment, allowing him to settle at his own pace without any pressure. Could you be the special person willing to give Bob the chance he deserves? ❤️ Please get in touch if you think you could offer Bob his forever home. 🐶

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is an adult collie dog waiting at Eden Animal Rescue in Temple Sowerby.

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. Eden Animal Rescue 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 — Eden Animal Rescue 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 Eden Animal Rescue 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.
