Cinnamon

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

Cinnamon walks beautifully on a lead but is still learning to balance properly on his back leg when off lead. Similarly, he is happy attempting to get in a car to travel but is struggling with how best to do it. He is a true gentleman who could make a wonderful pet for a family with older primary school kids and above. He’s had a very unsettled life and will need help with learning to toilet outside. Cinnamon would benefit from having adopters who have an understanding or experience of caring for dogs with amputations. He is more interested in having human friends than dog friends and would like to be the only dog in his new home. However, he may be able to live with another calm dog depending on a successful dog mix. If you’re looking for a gentle, kind and affectionate dog to give a wonderful life to, make sure to add Cinnamon to your favourites! Meet Cinnamon, a very special and sweet 2 yr old Lurcher! He is super gentle and loving despite everything he’s been through. Cinnamon was sadly found as a stray and had to have surgery to amputate a hind leg. He’s incredibly resilient and has been recovering very well. This friendly boy wants nothing more than to be close to you, he loves to lay across your lap and get lots of (well deserved!) fusses. He will need adopters who can be around for him 24/7 initially as he gets settled in, which just means loads of Cinnamon snuggles!

About Cinnamon

What life with Cinnamon looks like

Cinnamon is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Cinnamon, answered.

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