Chips

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

Meet Chips, a wonderful Lurcher with a big heart and a love for his people! He’s happiest when he’s spending time with his favourite humans, especially if there’s a comfy sofa where he can snuggle up and rest his head on your lap. Chips also has a playful side and loves nothing more than flinging his toys around and having a good zoomies in the garden! He enjoys going on walks with his humans, taking his time to explore the world around him and sniff out all the exciting smells. With his lovely mix of cuddles, playfulness and love for the great outdoors, Chips is a delightful companion who would love to find his special people to share all these little joys with. Chips has been able to be left happily for up to five hours on his own on foster. He could do this again after an initial settling in period. This pet has a clean bill of health and can be fully insured after rehoming.

About Chips

What life with Chips looks like

Chips is a large young adult lurcher dog waiting at Wood Green in London.

A young 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 Chips, answered.

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