Bumble

Male · Puppy · 1 month

Bumble and siblings are lovely little pups that are full of fun and mischief. They love playing and learning about the world around them. These pups will require an active home where they can go on many adventures as they will grow to be energetic dogs. If you think Bumble or his siblings would be a great addition to your family and you are committed to putting the time and effort into a young pup, simply fill in an application and don't forget to 'Favourite' them! Bumble and his siblings are looking for their forever home. These cuties are currently only 6 weeks old, meaning they will be ready for adoption at 8 weeks old. They will require all forms of basic puppy training from house training to lead walking and much much more! These pups are believed to be Collie X Spaniel crossbreeds, they will grow to medium/large size and will be intelligent, active dogs. They will require lots of mental stimulations, enrichment and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. Bumble and siblings can live with other dogs, pets and children.

About Bumble

What life with Bumble looks like

Bumble is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ballymena in Ballymena.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Bumble, answered.

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