Buddy

Collie · Male · Young · 2 years

Buddy is a lovely boy who likes a fuss and enjoys his walks and opportunities to play. He is currently worried by car travel and will need direct access to walks from his new home without the need to travel in a car and will need his new family to continue his training around cars which he has been doing well with at the centre. Buddy is a 2 year old Borzoi X Collie. He is a friendly boy looking for an active home that can keep him mentally and physically occupied. Buddy has the potential to live with another dog pending successful meets at the centre. Any children in the home should be of older Secondary School age and above (14+) as he has been known to show some frustration related behaviours such as jumping up, humping and mouthing if overstimulated or frustrated. He is not suitable to live with cats or small furries. Buddy is a high energy boy and would like access to a secure garden to provide space for play, this could be communal. Buddy is not used to being left and will need someone with him most of the time initially, any leaving hours will need to be built up slowly once settled in the home

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a small young adult collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Snetterton in Snetterton.

An young 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 Buddy, answered.

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