Adopt Umbro

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 4 years

Umbro is searching for a patient and loving home that will help him blossom into the confident dog he has the potential to become. Umbro is a handsome 4 year old Collie with a gentle soul. On walks, Umbro loves taking in the world around him, enjoying plenty of sniffing and exploring at his own pace, although he isn’t very motivated by toys and treats at the moment. Umbro can be a little nervous in new situations, so he’s looking for a calm and understanding family who will give him the time and patience he needs to build confidence. Once he trusts you, his affectionate nature really shines through. As he can be worried around handling and grooming, he will need to wear a muzzle for grooming sessions and would benefit from gentle, positive support to help him feel more comfortable. Because of his sensitivity around handling, Umbro would be best suited to a home with children aged 12 and over. At the moment, Umbro would prefer to be the only dog in the home, as he can feel anxious around other dogs, though he would benefit from further socialisation to help grow his confidence. As a Collie, Umbro is an active and intelligent boy who will need plenty of exercise and adventures once he has settled into his new home. A secure garden of his own would be a wonderful bonus, giving him a safe space to relax and explore!

About Umbro

What life with Umbro looks like

Umbro is a adult border collie dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

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 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 Umbro, answered.

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