Silas

Collie · Male · Senior · 11 years

Could you be my perfect match? Hello! My name is I can live with Dogs Cats Children ​ MY story Silas came to us recently from the pound. His time was nearly up and we stepped in hush before he was going to be put to sleep. Silas is an older boy so will prefer a quiet home as an only dog or with another calmer dog similar age. Silas has been great with everyone he has meet so far. He is currently at our kennels in Deal and getting to know all the staff and our volunteers.Despite his age he loves time outside and chasing after a football. He also enjoys a walk and walks well on the lead. Silas has shown us nothing but kindness and has been a very sweet boy. But it’s time to get him out of the kennels and on to a sofa of his own. MY PERFECT HOME Silas needs a secure garden with 6ft fencing minimum and no gaps at all.As with all dogs on going training will be needed. Silas can live with other calmer dogs, he is not cat tested and children 12+ please. OUR ADOPTION PROCESS 1 Fill in application form Please fill in the form as honestly as possible. Our team will read the application and make sure it is the right match for the dog being applied for. 2 We will arrange a home check If you and the dogs seem a good fit we will call you to discuss further, arrange to meet the dog and arrange a physical home check at your home. 3 Matched with your dog Once we have agreed together that this is the right dog for you we will arrange for your dog to come to you.

About Silas

What life with Silas looks like

Silas is a medium-sized senior collie dog waiting at Angels 4 Dogs Rescue in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Silas, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silas?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Angels 4 Dogs Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Silas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Silas if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Angels 4 Dogs Rescue 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 Silas 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 Silas 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 Angels 4 Dogs Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Silas 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.
