Freddie

Collie · Male · Adult · 5 years

Hi everyone, my name is Freddie and I am a very handsome Collie x Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I am currently living with my loving family who have had to ask the team here to help me find me a new home through the Home Direct Scheme due to a change in their current circumstances. It will be very sad for us all, but they are only thinking of my best interests. All meets will be conducted by the team here at the Centre.I am such a lovely boy, and everyone I meet falls in love with me! I am well mannered, well behaved, and a really clever chap! I can be a bit nervous at times and will seek plenty of reassurance from my owner, and you will find that I don't really know the meaning of personal space as I stick to you like glue. But I am the best companion you could wish for and give amazing cuddles.I have a Collie brain so really enjoy play that makes me think and work, so we will have great fun doing things like "find it" and scent work. These activities keep me happy, occupied and tire me out more than any walk will do. I am ball mad so that will need restricting and I love routine, but I am such a fun dog to have around. I am good as gold to leave at home when needed and fully house trained.I can be a bit reactive to other dogs, especially larger male unneutered ones, but am easily managed and can walk on past without too much bother. I am going to need to be the only dog in the home, and can't live with cats either. I do suffer with a hay fever type allergy but this is manged well and doesn't cause me too much trouble..I travel well in the car and have been used to a campervan so we could go on all sorts of adventures together. So if you have space on your sofa and bed for a gorgeous boy like me, please do give me a chance x x NAWT Cornwall Wheal Alfred Kennels Wheal Alfred Road Hayle Cornwall TR27 5JT Choose an item from our Amazon wish-list and it will come straight to us! Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Freddie

What life with Freddie looks like

Freddie is a adult collie dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Freddie, answered.

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