Eddie

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 7 years

Eddie is a truly gorgeous Border Collie with a wonderfully gentle, loving nature and a heart full of affection. He is looking for a calm, quieter home (no flats) with a secure garden of his own to potter around and enjoy. He would be happiest away from the hustle and bustle of busy towns. We would love his new owners to have Border Collie experience. Eddie is an absolute sweetheart to share a home with. He is not destructive and can happily be left for short periods. After his walks, his favourite thing is to curl up in a cosy spot on the sofa for a well-earned snooze. Eddie adores being part of the family and has so much love to give—he will happily soak up cuddles and affection, then enjoy a playful moment with his favourite toys. He can become a little excited when visitors arrive and may jump up to offer an enthusiastic hello, but this friendly boy does not bark and simply loves meeting people. Eddie still loves his walks and is a wonderful companion to have by your side while out and about. He walks beautifully on either a harness or just his collar and lead. He is also very good off lead, with excellent recall. When people or other dogs approach, he will usually carry on happily or may stop for a polite, friendly hello. He is generally very good with other dogs, although he may show a little more interest in females. If another dog snaps at him, Eddie may respond, but he would never go looking for trouble and will listen when asked to stop. Beneath it all, he is a loving, loyal boy who will bring so much joy and companionship to the right home. Web Design by Technical Services Scotland. Need a website? Enquire Here

About Eddie

What life with Eddie looks like

Eddie is an adult border collie dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland in United Kingdom.

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. Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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 — Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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 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 Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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.
