Ideal Home: Suitable for first time owners, resident children 8+ Meet Blondie- A Handsome Hound with That Special Something! Some dogs have a certain something that makes them stand out from the crowd, and Blondie is most definitely one of them! Blondie is a large, exceptionally handsome black greyhound with a beautiful glossy coat and the most intelligent eyes. He's a striking lad, but there's more to him than just good looks. He has that special something that makes you feel there's a wonderful companion waiting to blossom in the right home. Blondie is looking for an active, loving family who will welcome him into their lives and treasure him for the special boy he is. He deserves a home where he'll be cherished, included in family life and given every opportunity to enjoy the comforts and pleasures of being a much-loved pet. When it comes to walks, Blondie can be a little strong at the beginning, but once he's settled into his stride, he walks beautifully. His future owner should be comfortable handling a large greyhound and understand that he may need a little time to find his rhythm at the start of an outing. With an active lifestyle, loving guidance and a family who appreciate all that he has to offer, we believe Blondie will make a wonderful companion. He's a big, handsome lad who deserves to be more than just another face waiting in kennels – he deserves to be somebody's very special boy. Imagine this gorgeous hound settling into your home, enjoying his daily walks and adventures, discovering all the comforts of family life and having his very own people to love, who will lavish him with cuddles. Could Blondie be the missing piece of your family? He's waiting for someone to look beyond his kennel door, see his potential and offer him the forever home he so thoroughly deserves. If you think you could give Blondie the active, loving home he's waiting for, please contact us to find out more about this truly handsome boy. ❤️ If you are interested in adopting a greyhound visit the homing enquiries page and complete the form. -DC=@ Related Posts

About Blondie

What life with Blondie looks like

Blondie is a large senior greyhound dog waiting at Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary (RGT East Midlands) in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Blondie, answered.

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