Fay

Female · Young · 2 years

Fay was quite shy on arrival but has gained confidence and is now playful and friendly, although she can get nervous about new things. She is still learning but walks well on a lead and takes most things in her stride, including seeing people and other dogs. She loves to play and run around but then settles down for a nap or to have a cuddle. She would benefit from further training and a friendly male dog in the home. She gets on well with the other 5 dogs in her foster home. Older children. No cats or small furries

About Fay

What life with Fay looks like

Fay is a small young adult dog waiting at Heathlands Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An 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 Fay, answered.

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