Frankie

Mixed Breed · Male

An energetic, brilliant 11-month-old Bearded Collie cross Border Collie seeking an active, adult-only home with structured boundaries. Meet Frankie! This handsome 11-month-old lad is a bright, high-drive Collie mix who has been in our care for quite some time now. He has made incredible strides in his training during his time with us, and with his first birthday just around the corner, we would love nothing more than to see him celebrating it in his very own forever home. Frankie is a handsome Bearded Collie and Border Collie mix who possesses all the intelligence, energy, and drive typical of his working breeds. Because he missed out on early guidance as a young pup, he needs a confident, decisive owner who can set clear boundaries, make decisions for him, and help him feel completely secure. To give Frankie the absolute best chance at success, Hay Animal Rescue Team will fund ongoing positive training support for him with Malvern Fabdogs. Adopters must be committed to using reward-based methods to maintain his momentum. Because of this tailored support, his new family will need to live within a two-hour drive of Malvern to attend sessions easily. Age & breed: An 11-month-old Bearded Collie x Border Collie male.

About Frankie

What life with Frankie looks like

Frankie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hay Animal Rescue Team 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 Frankie, answered.

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