A Dog For You

Unknown · Puppy · 3 months

Reasons why we love this dog… He/she will suit your home situation He/she will suit your sighthound experience He/she will suit your family circumstances My favourite thing is: Adopters to suit my needs At any one time we have a number of greyhounds and lurchers in kennels that are looking for a loving home, some may not appear on our website. This could be ‘a dog for you' ….a dog that may be matched to you according to the information you provide on the bottom of this profile. Registering your interest here gives you a greater opportunity to be considered for a dog that suits your circumstances, but keep an eye on the website for a dog that you thinks suits you too! ‘A dog for you' will be a greyhound or lurcher currently in our care who is looking for a loving home. ‘ A dog for you' can suit a range of people with sighthound experience from the novice to the experienced home (experienced homes always very welcome!) ‘A dog for you' can fit a wide range of living arrangements, but especially popular are rural or semi-rural locations. ‘A dog for you' will suit your family situation. Whilst some of our dogs can live with children and/or other dogs, many struggle to live with children under 10, or small breed dogs (the latter mainly relating to ex racing greyhounds) ‘ A dog for you' is unlikely to be able to live with cats (or there will be a longer wait) ‘ A dog for you' should be not be expected to have lived in a home before (although some of our dogs may have done) ‘ A dog for you' MAY never be allowed to be let off the lead in a public place due to the natural instinct of the breed. ‘A dog for you' will need to meet you at our kennel location in Devon, although we occasionally have other dogs which will be homed direct from their current home which could be based in Devon, Dorset, Somerset or Bristol. This may be just the once, or multiple times (depending on the dog). If you apply for ‘a dog for you', we will hold onto your application for 3 months, we will review it as new dogs become available. We will contact you to talk through your situation and requirements if we feel we have a match for you, but please, please … keep an eye on the website and apply for a dog if you are interested in them, and think you could be a match. It helps us to speed up the process as we have lots of home offers coming in each week. Please note, if you have a particular request for a ‘type’ of dog, or fall into some of the categories above that may present a challenge in finding you a suitable dog, we will still happily accept your application as we do get dogs to suit all circumstances. However, it must be accepted that there is a much longer waiting list for these types of dogs. Also in very high demand are small sized, or long coated lurchers.

About A Dog For You

What life with A Dog For You looks like

A Dog For You is a small puppy/kitten dog waiting at Forever Hounds Trust in Cirencester.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting A Dog For You, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about A Dog For You?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Forever Hounds Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw A Dog For You on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt A Dog For You if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Forever Hounds Trust will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is A Dog For You already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if A Dog For You isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Forever Hounds Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know A Dog For You and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
