Isla & Ivan

Mixed Breed · Female

Isla & Ivan were abandoned in a layby between Crieff & Aberfeldy, Ivan is a Cocker Spaniel who had no microchip, Isla’s microchip says she’s a Papillon (she is not) and also that she’s around 8 years of age but the microchip details are still being investigated. Given the horrific conditions these dogs were found in, no-one would be looking to claim them and if they tried, they wouldn’t get them back! The dogs were so matted and covered in dried faecal matter that it was kindest to have them sedated at the vets and shaved. The pairing suggests they’ve probably been used for breeding Cockapoos and Isla certainly appears to have had a few litters. Despite the cruelty shown to them, these two wee darlings have known affection, have clearly walked on a lead and are house-trained so there’s no excuses for the condition they were found in. Isla is very barky towards other dogs but Ivan is too interested in humans to care. Ideally we would rehome them together but we may separate as long as they both go on the very same day so one is not left behind. We do not know their suitability around cats or children. The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs. Applications will close once we find a suitable applicant.

About Isla & Ivan

What life with Isla & Ivan looks like

Isla & Ivan is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

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 Isla & Ivan, answered.

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