Edwin

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

Edwin enjoys being spoiled with treats and snuggles, smashing his training and heading out for adventures in the car. Edwin is looking for a home with direct access to a secure private garden, as he can feel uneasy around unfamiliar people and other dogs. To help him feel safe and comfortable, he should be kept on a lead and wear a muzzle when out in public. Edwin does have some skin allergies, which is managed by his diet, but we can discuss this in more detail prior to his adoption. If you have the patience to help this boy feel safe and loved again, he could be a very rewarding addition to your home. Animal Welfare licence number is AWE02, as licenced by Glasgow City Council. This lovely lad arrived in our care after being found as a stray in a poor condition. He’s a gentle, sensitive soul who needs a calm, patient home where he can decompress at his own pace. This handsome boy is around 2 years old, and hoping to find a loving family who can help reach his potential. He can be reactive to other dogs, so would be happier as the only dog in the home at the moment whilst he works on his social skills. Edwin would love to find a quiet home environment, and any children should be of a mature age, around secondary school age.

About Edwin

What life with Edwin looks like

Edwin is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Glasgow in Glasgow.

An 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 Edwin, answered.

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