Del

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 3 years

This sweet and gorgeous boy came into Ferne through absolutely no fault of his own and is now looking for a loving forever home. ❤️ Del travels well and walks nicely on a loose lead. He is friendly with other medium and large dogs, both on and off lead, and is used to being left for around 2–3 hours. Del is looking for an adult-only home where his new family can continue helping him settle into home life. He will need some support with his house training and can be reactive towards small dogs when off lead. Due to his high prey drive, Del would be best suited to a home without small pets or animals. Del is a lovely boy who is ready to find someone special to give him the loving home he deserves. 🏡❤️ If you think you could give Del his forever home, please apply online. Del can’t wait to meet you! 🐾

About Del

What life with Del looks like

Del is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard.

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 Del, answered.

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