Travis

Collie · Male · Senior · 11 years

Travis could live with sensible primary school-aged children and would prefer to be the only pet in the home, although he could enjoy having dog walking friends. He would also prefer for someone to be around for most of the time whilst he settles. Travis is a three-legged gentleman looking for a loving home to live out his golden years. He has been living in foster care, where he has settled in well and shown what a lovely companion he is. Travis enjoys spending his days playing with his enrichment and receiving fuss from his favourite people. He is a friendly boy but can sometimes be more interested in having a good sniff! Despite his age, Travis still enjoys getting out and about, but he is looking for adopters who can provide shorter walks to suit his mobility needs.

About Travis

What life with Travis looks like

Travis is a senior collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Loughborough in Wymeswold.

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 Travis, answered.

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