Blake

Greyhound · Unknown · Puppy

Blake is in foster care in Southampton, Hampshire, he arrived in our care in April 2026 and he was born on the 13th of December 2020. This lad is a friendly boy who loves to be with his human, adult friends. Blake is a really sweet boy but does have certain quirks that makes finding him the right home a little bit difficult. Blake loves being around the humans that he loves whether that is having a lazy day at home or going out for the day, no sad day with this boy around! He is a gentle soul, who has found the sofa and is enjoying it! Blake loves his toys and after some excitement with his human friends would be quite happy having a long nap, in his bed, surrounded by his toys! He can get into a car by himself and travels well, laying down whilst you are driving. Blake can be quite lazy after a nice walk and a nap in the car home, he sometimes can be a little stubborn to climb out of the car and back into his nice cosy home! He may need a little bit of persuasion! This chap loves his walks, takes everything in that he sees and loves watching other dogs playing, hoping he will be able to join in too. Blake generally walks nicely on the lead, just enjoying life and exploring new places with his humans, however he can use his strength a little when he sees other dogs playing or squirrels! Blake has made friends with some larger other breeds of dog but still needs further training around others, although he has learnt to walk past most quite nicely. Blake MUST be homed to an adult only family and be the only dog. His favourite time of day is feeding time, cuddles and toys are a joint second! This boy certainly loves his food. Blake enjoys his meals and will mostly give you a clean bowl. He can suffer with some food aggression over high value food e.g. a bone or high value treat. Blake still enjoys these treats but in a safe space on his own and then once finished he is either removed from the room before the bone is taken away or is distracted with a toy. Blake will no

About Blake

What life with Blake looks like

Blake is a puppy greyhound dog waiting at Greyhound Lifeline in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Blake, answered.

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