Harley

Poodle · Female · Young · 2 years

Harley is a gorgeous 2-year-old Miniature Poodle with a huge personality and the happiest, bounciest approach to life. She is extremely friendly and social with everyone she meets, greeting people with full-body excitement and plenty of enthusiasm. Harley loves being around her people and is happiest when she can be involved, whether that’s following you around the house, curling up beside you on the sofa, or enjoying gentle contact and fuss. Harley is a playful, energetic girl who loves her rope toy, tug of war, fetch and being chased around in a game. She has a cheeky sense of fun and may try to tease you with her toy before darting away again. She also loves running around the garden, sniffing, playing and burning off some of her energy, so she would really enjoy a garden of her own where she can zoom about safely. Out and about, Harley is bright, curious and excited by the world. She likes to stop and watch people and would love to say hello to everyone she passes. She can be bouncy and energetic on lead. At home, she is still learning to feel secure when left alone, so she will need a patient family who can build up her alone-time gradually and help her settle at her own pace. She settles beautifully overnight when sleeping in the bedroom with her foster carers and loves having her bed nearby while they work. Harley can live with primary school-aged children and could share her home with dogs and cats who are comfortable around a bouncy, energetic dog. If you’re looking for a bright, affectionate, playful little shadow who brings joy and energy wherever she goes, Harley could be a wonderful match. AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.

About Harley

What life with Harley looks like

Harley is a extra-large young adult poodle dog waiting at Dogs Trust Dundee in Dundee.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Harley, answered.

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