About This Dog for Adoption

Shelly's ideal home

Shelly is a sweet, 6 year old Collie. She is a nervous soul who is looking for a patient and understanding adult only home to help her settle into her new home and build confidence with the world. She will need a decent size, secure garden so she has a safe space to explore, toilet and play as she will need to settle into her home environment before exploring the wider world on walks. Shelly has socialised with other dogs at the centre but is underconfident and so is best suited as the only pet in the home. She would benefit from socialisation with a calm confident dog outside of the home to build confidence. Shelly requires a medical procedure which is better suited to home recovery so will be going home initially under our HomeTrial scheme while this is done and so we can cover the cost - our team can go through this with you in full detail if you are found to be a match.

Could you be Shelly's perfect match?

Shelly came into us having been found as a stray and is, understandably, a nervous soul. She will need a patient family willing to take things slow with her and help her settle into the home at a pace she is comfortable with. Shelly would benefit from a safe space in the home she can retreat to if worried of if there are visitors. Shelly is a sweet girl and has so much potential for a family willing to support her.

Dogs Trust Adoption Process

Thinking of adopting through Dogs Trust? Here's what to expect before you start your application.

  • Register your interest in adoption on the Dogs Trust website - you can't apply for specific dogs directly.
  • Create an account to favourite dogs you're interested in and help the team understand your preferences.
  • Dogs Trust will match you with dogs that fit your lifestyle and home environment.
  • Some dogs listed here may already be rehomed or reserved, as updates can take time to sync.
  • If matched, you'll go through their adoption and home-check process before taking your new dog home.
