Tilly

Border Collie · Female · Adult · 6 years

Tilly is an active 6yr old Collie who will play with you for hours before curling up for a nap. She has been on lots of training in our centre and loves sheepball, training games, and playing with toys. It would be great to have a family with breed experience but all that’s really needed is a family willing to get stuck into her training and to listen to all the tips and tricks our behaviour team will give you. Tilly struggles around the car and traffic so would want access to her walks directly from the house. Fortunately she’s ok being left home alone when you need to pop out and she’s also fully housetrained. Tilly is a wonderfully quirky and sweet girl, with patience and the right set-up she is an absolute delight. Tilly is a sweet, cheeky and loving lady who would love to find an adult-only home. She forms really lovely relationships with people, however she does have some worries around handling and likes her own space when snoozing, so will need an understanding family that can take things at her pace and provide her with a safe space. Tilly can share her walks with doggy friends but needs to be the only pet in the home as she’s a princess who wants all the attention! Tilly is currently out in a foster home.

About Tilly

What life with Tilly looks like

Tilly is a medium-sized adult border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Evesham in Evesham.

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.

Note from the shelter: Worries around handling, needs own safe space, car anxiety, traffic sensitivity

🇬🇧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 Tilly, answered.

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