Ollie & Willow

Irish Setter · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Ollie and Willow are an inseperable pair of charming Gordon Setters. Ollie is 4 yrs old and Willow is 2 yrs old. They have been well brought up and have good manners, they have good recall, travel well and like most Gordons are wary of dogs not known to them but they are not reactive. Very sad circumstances mean this lovely pair are seeking a new home through no fault of their own. A home where a knowledge of the breed is preferable as Gordon setters can be strong willed and quirky.

About Ollie & Willow

What life with Ollie & Willow looks like

Ollie & Willow is a adult irish setter dog waiting at Independent Setter Rescue in United Kingdom.

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 Ollie & Willow, answered.

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