How do I contact the shelter about Jet?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Canterbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jet on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jet if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Canterbury 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 Jet 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 Jet 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 Canterbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jet 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.

Jet

Border Collie · Male · Young · 2 years

Jet is looking for a home with active adopters who can take him for sniffy adventures in quiet walking areas, or for a run around in a private field, a family to keep up his training. He would like a calm and predictable home with only adults who will play with him nicely and will give him space to rest when he needs. Jet finds being in close proximity to dogs worrying, so would like to be the only pet in the home so he can have all of the attention to himself and no neighbouring dogs, he would prefer walks in quieter areas so he can explore at his leisure. Jet has some training under his belt, he knows his name and does a lovely “sit”, he is currently working on his muzzle training as he will be going home on a lead and muzzle disclaimer. He is a clever boy, but gets distracted easily so could engage in training in short, sweet sessions with the help of a tasty treat and lots of praise for encouragement. He is looking for a home with a private, secure garden with 6ft fencing for him to potter about and have off lead time in. Jet can settle nicely in the home so could be left for up to 4 hours, this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle in. Jet will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home with the potential for home visits with our behaviour team to make sure he is settling in well, so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted. Playful boy Jet is a 2 and a half year old Collie/Labrador cross who loves his toys. He will chase and bound around after toys that are thrown for him and will bring them back to be thrown again, he likes to carry a toy around with him for comfort. When he is settled and has built a bond with you he likes a fuss, bum scratches are his favourite and he does a little wiggle if you get the right spot. He enjoys a good outdoor adventure, especially in the woods where it is quieter and he can sniff and explore at his leisure. This beautiful boy is ready to find his new home.

About Jet

What life with Jet looks like

Jet is a young adult border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Canterbury in Chestfield.

An young 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.
