How do I contact the shelter about Bailey?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bailey on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bailey if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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 Bailey 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 Bailey 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bailey 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.

Bailey

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Please help Bailey by sharing this page! Bailey is a handsome 8-year-old male lurcher looking for either a foster or permanent home. He's with Lurcher Link Rescue in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Bailey was rehomed by Lurcher Link 5 years ago, but his owner sadly could no longer keep him due to their own health issues. He wants to live in a quiet area, without too much traffic. He does like to relax! Bailey needs to be rehomed as an only pet. He's clean in the home and can be left alone for a reasonable amount of time. He travels well in the car and can live with dog-savvy teenagers. Bailey knows some basic commands (sit, down, wait, look, come). Bailey used to be good with other dogs, but has developed some reactivity. He wasn't getting much exercise in his old home, which may have contributed to the problem. He ideally needs somewhere he isn't going to meet too many dogs, while his reactivity can be worked on. He doesn't hold with horses either. Bailey will need to be muzzled when out in busy places. He's currently walked on a halti for more control. Bailey gets very anxious at times; for example he really doesn't like going to the vets, mainly due to the presence of other dogs. He therefore needs to wait in the car for appointments and must be muzzled. When Bailey gets wound up he can try to bite, and can redirect onto humans if very stressed. Hence the requirement to be muzzled when walked and in other stressful situations such as at the vets. Bailey will need an experienced home who can understand his anxieties, read his body language and manage situations so that he can enjoy a quiet life. With a predictable and safe routine he's fairly chilled most of the time. He is mostly okay with the other dogs in kennels now, unless they bark at him first, in which case he'll bark back, which shows that over time improvements are possible. He just needs time, patience, enough exercise to shake out any tensions and the right sort of positive reinforcement training (treats please!). If you think you could adopt or foster lovely Bailey, please fill in Lurcher Link Rescue’s online pre-adoption questionnaire. Or email: Please say you saw Bailey on the Oldies Club website.

About Bailey

What life with Bailey looks like

Bailey is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

An 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.
