How do I contact the shelter about Dancer?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dancer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dancer if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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 Dancer 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 Dancer 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dancer 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.

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

‘OLD DOG OF THE WEEK’ FEATURES NEW PHOTOS AND A FRESH WRITE-UP FOR AN OVERLOOKED OLDIE THAT HAS BEEN ON OUR WEBSITE FOR A WHILE BUT IS STILL WAITING FOR A NEW HOME. Please help Dancer by sharing this page! Playful boy Dancer is a 9-year-old Collie Cross in the care of Last Chance Animal Rescue in Edenbridge, Kent. He wants a peaceful but active retirement with no other pets or children to discombobulate him. Potential adopters will need to meet him a few times so he can make sure he feels safe enough with you to show his silly side sometimes. Dancer is a sensitive dog who wants to form a strong bond with his human. He can be anxious, especially about sudden noises, and it takes him a while to trust. When he does trust someone, he's both soppy and attentive. Last Chance Animal Rescue say, "When Dancer knows you he can be very affectionate and jump up for cuddles. Dancer loves to cuddle up to you on the sofa and gently nibble your fingers while getting belly rubs, if you stop stroking him he will paw at you for your attention… One of Dancer's favourite things to do is watch you make dinner in the kitchen in the hope that he could have some too! He especially loves cheese." Dancer likes to be near his human and will want to follow you everywhere, so he needs a home where he won’t be left alone for too long. He's an active boy who loves his long walks and exploring new places. He'll need an active owner and a garden of his own to run around and play freely off-lead every day. He can get protective of his owner when on lead and can nip if a stranger approaches, because of this you will have to keep a distance from others and their dogs, walking in less populated areas. He loves to play ball games and when alone he enjoys playing with soft, crinkly toys. You will often see him chucking them around in the air and tossing them side to side! Like many Collie-types, Dancer may have some nervous energy which needs an outlet in activity but once that's sorted, he is an incredibly rewarding dog as he's so devoted. He will seem to understand every word you say and (more importantly) believe you to be the most fascinating person ever for saying it. If you want to meet this special boy, please contact Last Chance Animal Rescue as follows: Or visit the rescue centre which is open – Wed to Sun, 11am-3pm (only closed Mon/Tues) Please say you saw Dancer featured as Old Dog of the Week on the Oldies Club website. This replaces Dancer's original page dated 10 April 2025.

About Dancer

What life with Dancer looks like

Dancer is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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.
