Border Collie · Female
Ruby is only young, believed to be just over a year old. She is a lovely friendly girl but a typical youngster she is excitable. She can be well mannered but can also be quite giddy, we still have to spend a some time with her and test her with other dogs but she will be ready for adoption by the end of September

Sturdy plastic carrier — what most shelters require for pickup.
First-week safe space. Shelter dogs settle faster with a crate.
Legally required in most EU countries for transporting dogs.
Dog-specific pheromone diffuser. Worth it for the trip home.
Worth the upgrade — rescues often have joint issues from kennels.
Escape-proof for spooky rescues. Safer than a collar in week one.

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.
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.
