How do I contact the shelter about Buddy?

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 Buddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Buddy 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 Buddy 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 Buddy 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 Buddy 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.

Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Sadly Buddy's owner passed away and his family unfortunately were not in the position to keep him. He would suit a home where he will have company during the day (people who work from home or retired people), and he's now waiting and ready to go to his forever home where he will be the only pet. Meantime, he's enjoying life in a foster home in Glasgow, Scotland, provided by Project Galgo . Buddy is 9 years old, weighs 29kg and is a brindle and white Saluki/Greyhound Cross. He is a sweet little angel. He’s cheeky because he will prod you for more strokes if you stop and it ever ends. You could sit by his side stroking his head forever, he would never have enough! Buddy is playful and will let you know when he wants to play, or you’ll hear him gallop from the other room and just bury his big nose under your arm. He loves getting the toys out to bounce around the house a bit. He likes to spend time with people and likes it when people are able to engage with his playfulness. His duck plushie is a solid favourite. Buddy is independent, chilled and enjoys snoozing, but he sometimes gets up and moves around the house, chooses a different spot and doesn’t see the need to interrupt a good nap. A house with an appropriately fenced garden would be perfect for him. He loves playing fetch and being able to do it in a garden where he can stretch and run a bit further would be great for him. Buddy loves a walk, especially in the sun; he loves the sun, just smelling and noticing everything in his surrounding. He's very curious and is a wonderful companion. He behaves beautifully in the pub and cafes; you can take him anywhere and he’ll be happy with a chew and some attention, though he can be left for a couple of hours. Buddy wags his tail a lot more when he sees his carers and definitely notices when they're not home (he either watches from the window or waits for them in the hall). He absolutely loves friends visiting and a little (quiet) social gathering. He’s still jumpy with loud noises and people approaching him with sudden boisterous movements. He doesn’t seem to mind loud noises if they’re not nearby. Buddy's perfect home would be where he will have company during the day and that will be able to keep his medicine routine. His health is good, but he is diagnosed with Epilepsy and is on daily medication but is very stable. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Could sociable Buddy be your perfect companion? If so, please contact Project Galgo or as follows: Email: Please mention that you saw Buddy on the Oldies Club website.

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club 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.
