Abyad

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

This lovely boy is Abyad which means white in Arabic and he is a fairly recent addition to our rescue. Just look at that smile! He was found abandoned and living in a derelict house, scared and alone. Abyad was rushed to the nearest vets and, after being treated for ticks, is back to full health. He has a slight underbite which is very cute but doesn't pose any problems for him. Abyad is a happy friendly boy of two years old and is great with other dogs and with cats. He is currently living in a foster home very happily amongst the other animals there. Abyad has passed all his health and blood tests and can fly to Scotland in December. He is be neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has clean blood work and is looking for his forever home. D.O.B.: 09 Sept 2024 Cat tested: Yes - curious and wanted to be friends with the cat. Food Tested (Resource guarding): Yes - no issues

About Abyad

What life with Abyad looks like

Abyad is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Sand to Sofa Rescue in United Kingdom.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧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 Abyad, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Abyad?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sand to Sofa Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Abyad on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Abyad if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sand to Sofa Rescue 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Abyad 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 Abyad 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 Sand to Sofa Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Abyad 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.
