Bestie

Greyhound Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 5 years

Racing Name: Yahoo Best Date of Birth: September 2021 Bestie is beyond shy on initial meetings, the world is such a scary place πŸ™ Cant imagine how he got on racing tbh, he did only have 8 races and didnt win any of them guess thats why such a young lad has retired. He is however a super looking little chap and after a few days has started greeting me with enthusiasm and a super waggy tail, so just needs the right person to gain his trust and help him with the transition from kennel dog to the perfect pet. Needs a quieter home with no or older children who can respect his initial reticence. May benefit from a confident dog already in the home to show him the ropes, not necessarily a grey. As his name suggests we think he will make the BEST pet in the right home πŸ™‚

About Bestie

What life with Bestie looks like

Bestie is a adult greyhound dog waiting at DunRunnin Rehoming Kennels 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Bestie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bestie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DunRunnin Rehoming Kennels handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bestie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bestie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” DunRunnin Rehoming Kennels 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 Bestie 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bestie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with DunRunnin Rehoming Kennels early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bestie 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 β€” 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.
