How do I contact the shelter about Ollie?

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

Can I adopt Ollie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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 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 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 Dog Aid Society of Scotland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ollie 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.

Ollie

Bichon Frisé · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Ollie is looking for a quiet home with a garden. Ollie needs a home where he can have company most of the time as he gets very anxious when he is left alone. Ollie prefers female company. He would love to go for lovely walks and get lots of attention. As Ollie is an older dog, he is covered by our Old Dog Scheme for any future vet bills he may need.* Ollie is excited when people come to the home, but will settle quickly. He may bark at unfamiliar people outside. Ollie will shy away from unfamiliar children that come up to him and has never lived with children so we advise any kids in his new home are visiting only. On walks, Ollie is either friendly or shy with other dogs, depending on the situation. He will chase cats. Ollie wears a harness and does not tend to pull on the lead. His recall depends on his mood! Ollie has some separation anxiety and likes staying close to his owner around the house. If left alone for too long, he will get very anxious and chew the fur on his side. We hope this behaviour does not continue in his new home, but if Ollie needs any vet treatment related to this, Dog Aid Scotland will cover the costs. He is nervous travelling in the car and he is also scared of the noise of the kitchen extractor hood. Ollie has behaved well when going to the vets in the past. He is fine with being washed but does not like being brushed. He has been to the groomers and tends to love the bath but can be nervous about the rest. Ollie is happiest when he is with his owner and he loves food! He is gentle, friendly and very affectionate. *OLD DOG SCHEME: Dog Aid Scotland’s Old Dog Scheme covers dogs rehomed at 8 years old or above. This means that we will cover costs for veterinary care for the dog for the remainder of their life within reason. We do not cover costs for routine treatments such as vaccinations, worming and flea treatment. If the dog requires special dietary food we will contribute 50% of the cost. This will alleviate the worry of the financial implications taking an older dog into your home. Older dogs make great pets!

About Ollie

What life with Ollie looks like

Ollie is a senior bichon frisé dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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.
