DANCER

Greyhound · Unknown · Adult · 3 years

💗DANCER💗 DOB 1.11.22 3.5 year old DANCER joined us on the 8th June 2026 and settled in well. A friendly boy who walks well on the lead, he certainly looks forward to the arrival of the walking volunteers each day. DANCER has been taking in all the new experiences, including days out from kennels, in his stride and has also spent time in our enrichment (home from home) room where he loves to play with toys. Now his sibling MO has been homed it would be lovely for DANCER to find a home of his own too. In order for DANCER to settle in a home we feel he would like someone around for company during the day and he would benefit from being homed with adopters who have some large dog experience. DANCER cannot be homed with cats or small dogs and we would prefer any children to be aged 13 plus. 🔶Needs some company during the day 🔶Adopters with large dog experience 🔶 No cats or small dogs 🔶Children 13+ years For more information on our homing requirements can be found here:

About DANCER

What life with DANCER looks like

DANCER is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Makants Greyhound Rescue NW in United Kingdom.

An 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 DANCER, answered.

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