Clementine

Lurcher · Female · Adult · 4 years

Clem is a lovely girl who has really blossomed in foster care. She walks nicely on lead, travels well in the car and enjoys a normal active lifestyle. She absolutely loves tug toys and is often seen carrying one around. She is clever, playful and always keen to learn when food is involved. With time and patience, Clem has built up to being left alone for short periods in foster. She will need help settling into a new routine, but we believe she could work up to being left for a few hours when needed. If you're looking for an affectionate, fun-loving companion who enjoys adventures by day and relaxing with her people afterwards, Clementine could be your perfect match. Clementine is a friendly, active Lurcher looking for a home that will let her take things at her own pace. She loves people but prefers to approach new faces herself before making friends. She is looking for a home where all family members are sensible older primary school age or above. Any children in the home, or regular visitors, should be able to respect her space and allow her to approach for attention when she feels comfortable. Clem generally prefers to keep her distance from other dogs but can occasionally bark at them when out and about. Carrying a ball helps her stay focused, and her new family should be prepared to continue supporting her around other dogs. She has had dog friends previously so there may be room for this to improve with a committed guardian. Clem would love an active home with plenty of walks, adventures and opportunities to learn. She enjoys a full lifestyle and would happily join her family on longer walks and hikes. She is very food motivated, loves training and is always keen to learn something new. Clem does have lifelong skin conditions that require ongoing management. Her medication and medicated baths keep her comfortable and allow her to enjoy life to the fullest, so her adopters must be committed to continuing this treatment long term.

About Clementine

What life with Clementine looks like

Clementine is a adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

An 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 Clementine, answered.

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