GLEN

Collie · Male · Adult · 5 years

Although Glen was registered with the International Sheep Dog Society, it turned out that working life wasn’t the right fit for this modest fella with a heart of gold.Glen is a sweet and lovely, if a little shy, collie boy who would love to find a patient and caring forever home, where he would be allowed to settle in his own pace.He is calm-natured and well-behaved, and when he learns that you mean him no harm, he quickly volunteers to join in a game or two, chasing after balls or tugging at toys😊If you would like to welcome this mild-mannered boy into your heart and home, please get in touch here below.

About GLEN

What life with GLEN looks like

GLEN is an adult collie dog waiting at Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society in Waterville.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting GLEN, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about GLEN?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw GLEN on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt GLEN if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is GLEN 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 GLEN 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 Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know GLEN 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.
