Meg

Border Collie · Female · Senior · 9 years

Meg is almost 10yrs old, she has been neutered. Sadly Meg has been returned to our care after 7yrs in a home following the sudden death of one of her owners and the other being too ill to care for her due to being house bound.Meg is a calm friendly girl and should be suitable to live with children over 8yrs old. She is housetrained and although has been used to someone being at home with her when she has been left alone she has been fine. She does sometimes bark at other dogs when out walking so would benefit from being introduced to calm non reactive dogs. Travels ok in a car, chases cats.HOMING FEE £280

About Meg

What life with Meg looks like

Meg is a senior border collie dog waiting at Border Collie Trust GB in United Kingdom.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Meg, answered.

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