Dolly

Greyhound · Female · Senior · 9 years

Dolly is a real sweetie who adores people and gets excited to see you once she knows you. She travels lovely in the car and is a very easy going girl in general. She is currently in a foster home where she enjoys spending time in the garden and seeing what her foster carer gets up to. Dolly is on ongoing medication for her back legs, this will be explained in full with any potential adopters. Dolly is a sweet 9 year old ex-racing Greyhound looking for a retirement home to relax and enjoy her home comforts in. She adores spending time with people, having fuss and cuddles and she still enjoys gentle strolls. She has been happy to socialise with other dogs out on walks but she much prefers her own space in the home so would like to be the only pet. Dolly is a friendly girl and could live with children of primary school age and older. Dolly would like her own secure garden so she has easy access for toilet breaks and has somewhere for (brief) zoomies and snoozing in the sun.

About Dolly

What life with Dolly looks like

Dolly is a large senior greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Snetterton in Snetterton.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Dolly, answered.

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