Adopt Rosa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Gorgeous Rosa is a Collie-type lady and is originally from Romania. She has lived in a home for almost 5 years, but due to the failing health of her adopter, she was returned to Stray2Me Rescue . She is currently in foster care near Taunton, Somerset, and is sharing the home with 2 adults and a child. She is comfortable around well-mannered children, but no cats please. Rosa is 12 years old (born 17/4/2014) and is a good all-rounder who doesn't seem as old as she's meant to be. She will make the ideal companion as she has a lovely temperament, is playful but calm and easily adapts to new situations. She walks nicely on a lead and greets other dogs when out walking. She loves her daily walks, although she doesn’t seek them out, and she sits quietly in the car. She is a little uncomfortable with traffic noise, so more rural walks are preferred. Rosa loves human company, but she is able to be left alone for a few hours. Although Rosa is beginning to be an older girl, she would still welcome daily walks, play sessions and adventures. She's altogether a lovely lady. Rosa is house-trained and walks nicely on a lead. She is spayed and her vaccinations are up-to-date. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you would like to take care of lovely Rosa, please contact Stray2Me Rescue below: Read the adoption process here.

About Rosa

What life with Rosa looks like

Rosa is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club 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 Rosa, answered.

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