Border Terrier Rescue Dogs & Puppies for Adoption in and around Chichester

As of 7 November 2026, no Border Terriers are listed for adoption in and around Chichester on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

About an hour a day. The Royal Kennel Club lists up to an hour a day in its summary and says "generally at least one hour a day" in its notes on the breed, plus mental stimulation to prevent boredom. Ask the rescue what this dog is used to.

Often, but it depends on the dog. The Royal Kennel Club says Border Terriers tend to be less dog aggressive than many other terriers and generally get along with other dogs when properly socialised. A rescue dog's history matters more than its breed, so check the rescue's notes on this dog.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Border Terrier on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "border terrier puppies for sale Chichester", the Border Terriers here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Not right now: no Border Terriers are listed in and around Chichester today, so there are no puppies either. Puppies do get listed, and rescues can tell you much more about an adult's character, so check back.
