Mist

Border Collie · Female · Young · 3 years

We are looking for a very special home to take on young Mist. She was born deaf and therefore is going to need an experienced person who is not only used to the quirks of the breed but will also be fully committed to training. She is super smart and is already responding well to certain hand commands and will do brilliantly on a one to one. She is great with people, really friendly, playful and gentle for her age. With other dogs she is good meeting them outside but has certain issues in the house particularly around food which would make having an existing dog problematic. Although there may be challenges to overcome in the early days, Mist would give her love back ten fold and she would be so rewarding and a devoted companion.

About Mist

What life with Mist looks like

Mist is a young adult border collie dog waiting at Kit Wilson Trust for Animal Welfare in United Kingdom.

A young 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 Mist, answered.

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