Reyna

Unknown · Adult · 8 years

UPDATE: Reyna is now in a wonderful foster home in Cambridgeshire. She shares her foster home with several resident dogs and although we think she’s lived a sheltered life without much interaction, with their guidance, she’s really learned how to interact and enjoy the company of other dogs. Although very nervous when she first arrived, she has slowly but surely come out of her shell with the guidance of her foster family and has even been for some little adventures to a cafe! She can still be shy of new people but she’s affectionate with everyone, especially her foster mum who’s a firm favourite since she does all the walks! Her character is coming out as she gains confidence and she can be a lovable cheeky monkey! She’s a real joy to watch as she grows and learns that the world can be a fun and safe place to be. She travels well in the car, eager to jump in for a walk! She’s also picked up house training very well too. Her foster mum calls her the perfect dog. She gets on well with all the resident dogs but the other resident collie is a firm favourite! She is looking for a home with a kind and patient family who can carry on all the amazing work of her foster home Reyna is a border collie. Her Spanish passport says she’s almost 8 years old but the vet thinks she might be younger. Reyna was given to the shelter along with her three puppies (Ares, Sena and Zeus) by a family who kept her outside her whole life. We think she’s been chained up for most of that time and hasn’t had the chance to interact with humans much or other dogs. Reyna arrived at the shelter very scared with many fears and insecurities. She is improving in time and allows people to give her attention and be stroked but she will need a patient and caring home that will let her confidence grow in her own time as she is very scared of things that are new to her. Once she is familiar with people, she’s very sweet and affectionate

About Reyna

What life with Reyna looks like

Reyna is a adult dog waiting at Setter, Brittany & Pointer Rescue Association 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 Reyna, answered.

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