Dancer

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Dashing Dancer is a very handsome 9yr old Black and Tan Collie Cross, currently under the care of Last Chance Animal Rescue in Kent. He was rescued from a Welsh pound and it is thought, from his breed and behaviour, that he was once a farm dog. So if you live in a rural environment, away from the hub of urban living, then perhaps this wonderful boy might be the perfect fit ! Once Dancer knows you he is extremely affectionate and loves nothing more than a good cuddle and fuss. He adores his walks and exploring new places with lots of new smells. When on the lead and approached by people he doesn't know, he can be protective of his human and has nipped if anyone enters his space. He doesn't feel comfortable around traffic, so a quiet rural home would be ideal for Dancer, where he doesn't have to meet new people. Dancer needs an adult only home where he is the only pet. He will make an extremely loyal companion for the right person. Could that be you ? If you'd like to know more about Dancer or could offer him a loving home, please contact Last Chance Animal Rescue below Or visit the rescue centre which is open – Wed to Sun, 11am-3pm (only closed Mon/Tues) Please mention that you saw Dancer on the Oldies Club website.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dancer, answered.

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.
