Kallie

Female · Adult · 5 years

Kallie is not just pretty and affectionate, she is also lively, fun and intelligent. She knows a bag full of tricks including a sit, stay, down, and wait. She enjoys playing with soft toys and she loves to have a game of fetch with you in the garden. If you’re up for an adventure, Kallie is ready too. She enjoys long, rural walks in the countryside and if the walking route involves a dip in water, then even better! She likes to visit the beach and hike across the moors. Kallie likes her space around other dogs and although she can gradually make doggy pals to walk alongside, she is not fully comfortable around other dogs and has learnt to wear a muzzle, so you have that peace of mind when out and about. After her walks, when it is time to chill in the home, she adores snoozing alongside you. She likes to watch nature programmes and will either share a bed with you or cosy up in her own bed. Five-year-old Kallie is a pretty little flat-coated Retriever cross looking for a loving home. She could share her home with secondary school aged children, and she is looking to be the only dog in the home. She has a chase drive and will therefore need a home without cats and small furries, and she will need her garden to be safe and secure. Kallie is housetrained and happy to be left at home alone for a few hours at a time. She is happy to travel in the car to go with you on a long hike, she loves long adventure walks. She would best suit a quieter home as until she gets to know the visitors, she can be nervous. Kallie does well away from the hustle and bustle and will need her home and walks to be out of town.

About Kallie

What life with Kallie looks like

Kallie is a small adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe in Ilfracombe.

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 Kallie, answered.

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