Cookie

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

"Biscuit by name, biscuit by nature!" is the perfect way to describe Cookie—he really is one clever cookie! He's a super friendly boy who loves meeting new people and is always happy to stop for a fuss, without being overly demanding of attention. Cookie also travels brilliantly in the car, making him the perfect companion for adventures. Cookie is a super sweet 2-year-old Lurcher looking for patient, confident owners who can help him continue building his confidence around other dogs. Due to limited socialisation, he can be reactive, but he's already making great progress and enjoys having walking friends. Regular positive interactions with calm dogs will help him continue to grow in confidence. Cookie could potentially live with another dog following a successful meet at the centre, can live with secondary school-aged children, and can be left for a couple of hours once this has been built up gradually. A home with a private garden would also be beneficial to help manage his reactivity around other dogs.

About Cookie

What life with Cookie looks like

Cookie is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 Cookie, answered.

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