How do I contact the shelter about June?

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

Can I adopt June if I live in another country?

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

June

Border Collie · Female · Puppy · 5 months

June is looking for a home with another confident and sociable dog, as she has gained so much confidence from having a canine companion around. Her new family will need to be patient and understanding, giving her the time she needs to continue building her confidence at her own pace. June will benefit from ongoing support with general confidence building, particularly when experiencing new places and situations. She will also need help to become more comfortable walking on lead in the outside world and car journeys, with plenty of positive experiences and gentle encouragement. As a young and energetic pup, June will enjoy a family who can provide plenty of play, enrichment and training. She can live with secondary-school-aged children who can understand her needs and give her space when needed. If you're willing to give June the time she needs, you'll have the privilege of watching her grow into an even more confident and trusting companion! June is a 5-month-old Terrier cross who has come on leaps and bounds during her time in foster. She was extremely nervous when she first arrived, but with the support of her foster carers and the company of another dog, she has grown in confidence and really started to show her playful personality. June is an energetic and fun-loving puppy who enjoys getting stuck into playtime and is a big fan of her toys. She has particularly benefited from having another dog around and has gained a lot of confidence from watching and learning from them. As such, another dog in the home is a must for June. Although June has made fantastic progress, she is still a young pup and will need her new family to continue helping her build her confidence. In particular, she will need gentle encouragement to feel more comfortable walking on lead and experiencing the sights, sounds and bustle of the outside world. Her new family will need to be patient and allow her to progress at her own pace. If you would be interested in June, please fill out an application form and don't forget to "favourite" her!

About June

What life with June looks like

June is a large puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ballymena in Ballymena.

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.
