Meet May, a sweet and gentle eight-year-old Border Collie who is seeking her forever home.
May's heart is full of affection, but she can be a bit shy in new situations.
She needs owners who have previous knowledge of owning dogs. May would thrive in a quiet home environment, ideally with children aged 14 years and over with an enclosed garden as she enjoys spending time outdoors.
May is well mannered and fully house-trained, making her a delightful addition to any home.
She thrives in the presence of her family and would appreciate someone being home for most of the day so that she can adjust to her new environment with ease.
May is a well-behaved walker, displaying excellent leash manners, and she is friendly when meeting other dogs during her walks. However, she can be a bit apprehensive around traffic, so owners who can provide access to quieter walking areas will be a great fit.
May is currently flourishing in a loving foster home where her true charm has been shining through, and she has been described as an absolute delight. Her well-mannered behaviour and gentle nature make her a joy to have around.
If you're seeking a loving and gentle companion who thrives in a peaceful setting, May might be the perfect addition to your family.
If you think you could provide the right home for May or any of the 50 dogs currently available for rehoming, please contact the West Calder Rehoming Centre on 01506 873459. You can also follow Dogs Trust West Calder on Twitter and Instagram. Come meet us for a chat about rehoming and fostering at our ‘Can You… Be My Person?’ event on Saturday 28th October at 12-4pm in our centre.
Dogs Trust West Calder is currently seeking new foster carers across the whole of the Lothians & Scottish Borders.
