About Border Terriers
The Border Terrier takes its name from the borders of Northumberland and Scotland, where it worked alongside the Border Foxhounds, and was also known locally as the Reedwater Terrier and the Coquetdale Terrier. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as an "active, game and adaptable working terrier", and says Border Terriers are "intelligent, affectionate and good natured dogs".

How many rescue Border Terriers are available for adoption in Scotland?
As of 14 November 2026, no Border Terriers are listed for adoption in Scotland on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
Are there Border Terrier puppies for sale in Scotland?
No. Rescues rehome Border Terriers for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. When Border Terriers are listed in Scotland, each profile here will show its rescue's fee.
Can I get a free Border Terrier to a good home in Scotland, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it.
