Gidget

Border Collie · Female · Puppy · 3 months

Meet this bundle of fun Gidget! Gidget is a very lively and friendly pup. She loves to jump around for a fuss and doesn’t stay still. Gidget came into our care as a stray so we don’t have any background information on her. She could also be a cross breed so could grow bigger than a standard border terrier. Terriers are known to have cheeky personalities so she needs a family that is happy to work with her and train her as she is growing up. She is going to need an active family that can take her on lots of adventures to introduce her to the world. Due to her boisterous character she would be best suited to children who are 14 years and over – subject to a successful meet.

About Gidget

What life with Gidget looks like

Gidget is a small puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Cheshire) in Warrington.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Gidget, answered.

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