Delia

Greyhound · Male

Delia is a happy and outgoing lady! Despite her age, she has a lovely youthful energy. She loves her walks, rural or urban, and anything that involves socializing and meeting new friends – she is great with strangers, leaning in for a snuggle and scratch. She is fine with medium sized and larger dogs once she gets to know them, and may be happy to live with them if given a slow and gentle introduction. Smaller dogs, she is curious and happy to meet whilst out on walks, but would prefer not to live with them! She does love meeting children on walks, but would suit best in a home with older children. Loving and affectionate, Delia's ideal home would be a family with older children, perhaps in a rural area where there are less stimulating things to see. She's as fit as a fiddle so would love an active family who can bring her on plenty of walks!

About Delia

What life with Delia looks like

Delia is a small adult greyhound dog waiting at PetMatch Ireland in Ireland.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Delia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Delia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. PetMatch Ireland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Delia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Delia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PetMatch Ireland 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Delia 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 Delia 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 PetMatch Ireland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Delia 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.
