Meggie

Mixed Breed · Female

Meet Meggie, a friendly nine-year-old Border Terrier looking for a calm, quiet home where she can enjoy the next chapter of her life. She weights just 8.7kgs. Meg has previously been used for breeding, and now it’s her turn to be cherished. At nine, she still has plenty of life and enthusiasm left! She remains active and would love a home with gentle adventures, regular walks and a cosy spot to relax alongside her favourite people. Until recently, Meg lived with her 15-month-old son and a cat. She mostly enjoys the company of male dogs, so a home with a suitable male companion could be an option, subject to careful introductions. Meg’s current owner can no longer provide the care and exercise she needs and is surrendering her locally. Born in the UK, Meg is not currently neutered. This lovely girl has so much companionship to offer. Could you give Meg the peaceful home, care and affection she deserves? Most of our dogs have been found abandoned as young pups, discarded as unwanted litters, as is often the case in Portugal where neutering is not as common as in the UK. After rescue, all of our pups spend time in private shelters and foster homes, meaning they arrive happy, healthy and well socialised. UK Registered Charity Number 1183775

About Meggie

What life with Meggie looks like

Meggie is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs N Homes Rescue in London.

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 Meggie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Meggie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs N Homes Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Meggie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Meggie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs N Homes 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Meggie 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 Meggie 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 N Homes Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Meggie 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.
