Breagha

Female · Adult · 5 years

Affectionate lass Breagha is looking for her forever person. Breagha is a clever, funny, playful and affectionate dog in the home environment. She is a talker and will tell you how she feels. She loves to play with her ball, with tug of war toys, or will happily sit with a yakkers chew stick. She is an active dog and does enjoy long walks (she has completed 3 munros!) but can find these stressful in dog-busy environments. Her reactivity is dog specific, so some dogs she isnt bothered about at all, but those that she is, she reacts strongly to. Breagha is a nervous girl, so gets a fright from things that move suspiciously like the hoover, or sandwich boards! She can be spooked by people appearing suddenly around a corner for example. Breagha has resource guarded treats and toys at a young age which would result in growling. This has been worked on and has not happened for several years. She would suit somewhere where she is the only dog, there are no children and no cats. She would thrive in a rural environment and a calm peaceful home. Breagha is prescribed reconcile for her anxiety from the vets. Her current owner will provide three months medication to cover Breaghas transition in to a new home and settling in period. If you feel you could offer Breagha the loving home she deserves please contact the office directly on or click on “Request to adopt Breagha now”.

About Breagha

What life with Breagha looks like

Breagha is a large adult dog waiting at DAWGS.

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 Breagha, answered.

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