Rosie

Collie · Male · Adult · 7 years

Breed: Terrier / Collie About: Rosie was sadly surrendered to the sanctuary through no fault of her own. She is a beautiful girl inside & out. She is very affectionate, adores people and has great energy. Rosie gets on very well with other dogs so can be homed with a male dog of similar size, pending a meet & greet in the sanctuary. She loves to play and is excellent on the lead. Given some time to adjust to her new life, Rosie will make a fantastic companion. Like any dog, she should not be left alone for long periods of time throughout the day. If you're looking for a loyal, loving friend who loves to play & walk, Rosie can't wait to meet you! Suitable to live with: Older Children + Compatible With Other Animals: Dogs: Could live with a male dog of similar size (pending a meet & greet) Cats: Has not been cat tested Microchip no: 972274000467886

About Rosie

What life with Rosie looks like

Rosie is a small adult collie dog waiting at Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary in Dublin.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

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. Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary 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 — Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Dogs Aid Animal Sanctuary 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.
