Peggy

Border Collie · Female · Puppy · 10 months

Meet Peggy! Peggy is looking for an active and loving forever home. When she first meets new people, she can be a little nervous, but once she gets to know you, her affectionate and loving personality really shines through. She absolutely loves cuddles, belly rubs and spending time with her people. She is a very energetic, playful and high-energy young dog who will need a home that can keep up with her. An active home who enjoys plenty of walks, playtime, training and enrichment would be ideal for her. She can get over-excited and does tend to jump up, so she will need continued training and consistent boundaries to help her learn appropriate greetings. On walks, she can become very excited and spins on the lead, so her new adopter will need to continue working patiently on her lead manners. With time, consistency and positive training, she has plenty of potential to become a fantastic walking companion. She will need patience while she builds confidence around new people. She is a young dog with lots of love and enthusiasm to give. She may need a little time to settle and gain confidence, but once she feels comfortable, she is friendly, affectionate and full of fun. If you are looking for an energetic young companion and are prepared to put the time into training she could be the perfect dog for you. Peggy will need a private secure garden. Peggy has socialised well with other dogs whilst in our care, so we feel she could potentially be rehomed with another dog of similar size and energy levels following a successful meet and greet. (must be neutered) As Peggy came into the home as a stray, we have no previous history on her and as she can be a little nervous around new people we would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.

About Peggy

What life with Peggy looks like

Peggy is a medium-sized puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) in Manchester.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Peggy, answered.

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