Rosie

Lurcher · Female · Puppy

I am pleased to share their testimony as to Rosie’s loveliness here: Rosie was a massive hit with our family… unfortunately not with our existing dog. Rosie’s youthful enthusiasm was simply too much for her. With very heavy hearts, we realised Rosie would be happier in a home where she can be her joyful, bouncy self without upsetting a resident canine. Rosie is an exceptionally lovely dog and very affectionate. Her ideal position is on the sofa, preferably sitting on a person, but she will accept sitting next to them if necessary! She is a certified Velcro dog and will happily supervise you from room to room. Because she loves her people so much, Rosie isn’t a huge fan of being left alone, just yet. This will need building up slowly, but she showed real improvement in the short time she was with us. With consistency and time, this is absolutely something she can grow confidence with. Out and about, Rosie is a typical lurcher. She loves a good zoom, enjoys exploring, and will need at least two 45-minute walks a day – without that she will likely struggle to switch off. She’s great fun to walk both on and off lead, her recall is coming along nicely, and she’s friendly with both dogs and humans. She particularly enjoys fast play with other dogs. She is also extremely motivated by snacks, which makes training much easier (as much as “training” can be easy with a lurcher! ). Rosie does like to announce visitors when they arrive at the house, even ones she already knows. She barks at people in excitement, but not aggression. It felt a bit like her shouting hello, hello!! With reassurance and training, she was already settling quickly. However this might take a little bit of work to help her manage her excitement as it can feel a bit intense for visitors. Rosie is fully housetrained and will ask to go out. She routinely slept through the night, though this may require accommodating her strong belief that beds are better shared! Car journeys started off with some anxious back seat commentary, but she quickly learned that cars lead to walks, which improved things greatly. Rosie is a bright, quick learner with a big heart. She was relaxed around adults, unfazed by young people when out and about, and absolutely fine with our teenager. We are really quite gutted it didn’t work out between the dogs, but Rosie has a gorgeous, loving personality and will make someone an incredible, loyal, life-long companion. Being such a gorgeous dog, I’d be surprised if she makes it to the end of the month at PADS. Please note that our rehoming fee is £210. 00 The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs.

About Rosie

What life with Rosie looks like

Rosie is an extra-large puppy lurcher dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

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 Rosie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rosie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rosie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rosie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rosie 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 Rosie 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 Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rosie 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.
