How do I contact the shelter about Maisie?

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

Can I adopt Maisie if I live in another country?

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

Maisie

Border Collie · Female · Senior · 9 years

Maisie is a nine-year-old Poodle Cross Collie with a fun-loving personality and a huge amount of affection for both people and dogs. She loves spending time with her human and canine friends and is always ready for her next adventure. Maisie is instantly friendly and loves meeting new people. She'll happily wander over for fuss and attention before heading off to explore her surroundings. Food is definitely one of Maisie's favourite things, and she's always happy to earn a tasty treat. Maisie loves being out and about, discovering new places, and meeting other dogs. She can sometimes get a little overexcited when she spots a potential new friend, but she's a sociable girl who enjoys canine company and currently lives happily alongside other dogs. Travelling is no problem for Maisie either. She happily jumps into the car and settles well for journeys, making her an excellent companion for days out and adventures further afield. Maisie is looking for a family who can continue helping her channel her enthusiasm into her training. She's a bright, social girl who loves people, dogs, food, and fun, and she has so much companionship and affection to offer in return. Maisie is looking for a home that can match her enthusiasm for life and continue helping her develop her training skills. She would thrive with adopters who enjoy getting outdoors and can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to explore. As Maisie can be strong on the lead when she's excited, she is looking for confident handlers who can continue working on her loose lead walking and recall using positive, reward-based training. Maisie could live with primary-school-aged children and older who are comfortable around dogs and enjoy being involved in her training journey. She may also be able to live with another dog following successful introductions, as she enjoys the company of other dogs and currently lives happily alongside canine companions. Although Maisie settles well when left, she has not often been left for more than a couple of hours. Any leaving hours should therefore be introduced gradually as she settles into her new routine.

About Maisie

What life with Maisie looks like

Maisie is a extra-large senior border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Newbury in Newbury.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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.
