Anna

Greyhound · Female · Adult · 4 years

Sweet Anna is incredibly affectionate and loves to snuggle in close to you, though it's often a sneaky mission to see what's in your pockets and treat bag! She's been with us a little while whilst we get on top of her poorly eye, but now she's ready to look for her forever home again. She has previously shared her kennel with another Grey without issue, but she was rather intense with her toys, so we had to remove them to prevent any squabbles. Her friend has been in our care before and it's been wonderful to see Anna embrace playtime again, showing us that she would be much happier as the only dog at home so that she can play without upsetting anyone. Anna still enjoys walking with other dogs, especially other Greyhounds, so pals should certainly be encouraged once home. She really is the loveliest dog and deserves her own family after such a long wait. Greyhounds are notoriously fantastic company, and Anna is no exception. Anna can live with high school age children but no other pets, although she will walk with other large dogs. She has never lived in a home before so is unlikely to be house trained, but Greyhounds do pick it up quickly. We would advise that Anna have someone home with her most of the time whilst she gets used to family life. Anna has some issues with dry eye that require regular topical medication, and also some spinal pain that requires daily relief. If the cost of medication would be a barrier to you adopting Anna, we would still encourage you to apply and we can talk through options.

About Anna

What life with Anna looks like

Anna is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Merseyside in Liverpool.

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 Anna, answered.

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