Eddie

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 6 years

Eddie is a gorgeous lad and is definitely one for the Collie lovers! He is very typical of his breed, and is a very intelligent boy. He would love a private garden to relax in and lots of lovely walks around him to keep busy. Eddie & Gus love each-other, so would love to be rehomed together. Eddie is happy to be left for 4-6 hours with a break, once settled, but would love for his people to be around as much as possible. Eddie is a fun-loving, playful and affectionate chap who will make his new family so very happy! Meet handsome chappy, Eddie! Eddie is a 6-year old Collie who would love to go to his forever home with his brother, Gus. Eddie is able to live with children secondary school aged and over and would love to go to a high energy, potentially even working home. Eddie is a typical Collie - full of beans! He is a registered working Collie and would love to be kept busy with enrichment, sniffy walks and training. Eddie is super friendly with new people and will be expecting a fuss! He is great with travelling in the car and is fully house-trained! Eddie and Gus will benefit from living in a quieter, more rural setting where they can thrive. Eddie walks well on lead, loves his walks and a good off-lead run about. He loves to play with his toys and absolutely loves his food. He will be a brilliant addition to the home!

About Eddie

What life with Eddie looks like

Eddie is a adult border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

An 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 Eddie, answered.

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