Adopt Lilly

Collie · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Everyone meet our next residents …. Lilly and Willow!💔❤️‍🩹 These girls came in to our care as they couldn’t be trained for working on a farm. This is due to the breeding of double merles and it resulting in these girls having issues around hearing and possibly eyesight too. 💔 Thankfully our vets stepped in and refused to put them to sleep. They called us as they are happy, healthy pups in all other ways. 💖 Huge thank you to their foster for stepping up.🌟 Thankfully their foster has a lot of experience of the breed and currently has a pack of three collies to teach them way of normal life. 💙 Lilly and willow are 9 weeks old and are very typical puppies in most ways. They are playing, barking, eating, sleeping and getting themselves into trouble!😂 At the vets, they were good girls. Both have been mircochipped, flead, wormed and started their vaccinations. They will be under contracts for spaying when they are ready and the time is right!✔️ Both girls are lovely however have their own characters and we know they have different wants and needs. ❤️‍🩹 Lilly is completely deaf and has possibly sight issues in one eye. However she can see and is doing awesome. 🌟 Willow is mostly deaf and doesn’t seem to have any sight issues. She’s doing amazing well!🌟 Obviously these girls needs homes where they have humans who understand the needs of deaf dogs and the different training needed too. You’ll get full support from our behaviourists, as do all the adoptive dogs from Almost Home Dog Rescue. ✔️ However these are going to need more input than the average puppy who need a lot already. You can apply for these girls but we will be matching you to the pup we feel is most suited to you as we know their characters. 💛 When applying please consider the timescale of this huge commitment as well as input needed. We feel both girls are going to have great lives ahead of them. They don’t let anything hold them back!🐾🐾 Please do give them a share so we can find them the right homes!🏡 Remember to complete the form below if you’re interested in adoption:

About Lilly

What life with Lilly looks like

Lilly is a extra-large puppy/kitten collie dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lilly, answered.

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