Coops

Border Collie · Male · Young · 3 years

A quieter home environment would be perfect for Coops as he can get stressed by busy places, e.g. cafes etc. Coops requires direct access into his own private garden where he can play to his heart's content. He's able to be left home alone for around 4 hours a day. Animal Welfare licence number is AWE02, as licenced by Glasgow City Council. Coops is a 3 year old Collie who is looking for an experienced home with a family who can keep up with him! Coops was (probably) a footballer in a previous life, as he loves to kick his toys around! As a Collie, he is a total smartie pants and enjoys getting out for long walks, but he'd love to have a job to put his brain to. He also loves his enrichment, playing herding games, but whatever the challenge, this boy is up for it!

About Coops

What life with Coops looks like

Coops is a young adult border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Glasgow in Glasgow.

A 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 Coops, answered.

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