Angus needs a foster carer
About Angus
A Pup Kissed by an Angel
They say some dogs are kissed by an angel — and when you meet Angus, you might just believe it.
Angus is a delightful blue and white Border Collie pup with a very special feature — a distinctive spot right on the top of his head. Often called a “kissing spot” (or angel kiss), this little mark is said to bring good luck. Whether that’s true or not, we think it suits Angus perfectly.
Born on 19 September 2025, Angus is still very young and just beginning to discover the world. He has not had a great deal of exposure to people and has had no formal training, so everything is new to him — but that also means his future is wide open.
Angus is a sensitive, thoughtful pup who will need time to settle and build confidence. He is not bold or pushy — instead, he watches, learns and takes comfort from calm, patient guidance. Given time and kindness, he is expected to form a deep and loyal bond with his person.
About Angus

✔ Born 19/09/2025
✔ Blue and white coat with a unique “kissing spot”

What Angus needs

Border Collies are known for their intelligence and sensitivity. With the right support, Angus has the potential to become a deeply loyal and rewarding companion — he just needs someone willing to guide him through these early stages.
Angus is not desexed, but his adoption fee includes the cost of desexing when age appropriate, subject to terms and conditions.
💛 Perhaps that little “angel kiss” is a sign — Angus is waiting for someone to see what he could become.
