ALICE

Greyhound · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

ALICE D.O.B. 24.9.19 No cats No small dogs 7 year old Alice joined us in September last year and soon settled in. This lovely girl, even though she is seven years of age, is very fit for her age and does look forward to her daily walks. Alice is a character, is full of personality and doesn't want to miss a thing. She especially loves toys and to pinch them off other greyhounds if possible! Alice is a very affectionate girl with all our volunteers and also loves to spend time with the other greyhounds. She has spent some time in our enrichment (home from home) room and enjoys playing with toys and watching the TV. Alice has recently enjoyed several days out with one of our experienced volunteers and we’re told she enjoyed all the new experiences on offer, and was very relaxed when visiting their home afterwards. Alice travels well in the car too. Due to all the work undertaken by our volunteers Alice is a much more settled girl now compared to when she arrived with us. Her reactivity to other breeds has considerably lessened and she will now walk past other breeds calmly. For Alice we’re looking for a home with someone who has experience of larger dogs, but not necessarily greyhounds. We feel Alice would be happy to live as an only hound or could equally happily live with another male hound. She would benefit from the company of an adopter who is at home a large amount of time, and this is especially important during the initial settling in phase. We feel Alice would be best suited to live with older children 13 plus. 📍No cats or small dogs 📍Children 13 plus 📍Needs company at home

About ALICE

What life with ALICE looks like

ALICE is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Makants Greyhound Rescue NW in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 ALICE, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ALICE?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Makants Greyhound Rescue NW handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALICE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ALICE if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Makants Greyhound Rescue NW 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 ALICE 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 ALICE 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 Makants Greyhound Rescue NW early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALICE 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.
