Bracken

Greyhound · Male

Please meet best beautiful big lad Bracken ❤️❤️❤️We think Bracken was a coursing greyhound due to his impressive size; he weighs 45kg! He truly is a gentle giant; big, sweet and kind natured.Sadly, Bracken’s past is unclear. His ear tattoos appear to have been deliberately tampered with and his microchip was removed. Vets believe a chemical may have been used to burn out the tattoo. The orange staining on his chest is from iodine, possibly linked to when the chip was removed. Bracken is playful but gentle, great on walks, house trained and gentle around children. He loves his toys and treats. He is a big gentle boy and someone is going to very lucky.We thought Bracken had found his forever home but sadly he has just been returned through no fault of his own. After everything he has been through he really does deserve his happily ever after. He is in foster in North Lincolnshire For more information please WhatsApp Kerry on

About Bracken

What life with Bracken looks like

Bracken is a extra-large adult greyhound dog waiting at Greyhound Protection UK in England (nationwide).

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 Bracken, answered.

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