Egan

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 4 years

Egan is a handsome ex-racing Greyhound with a big personality and lots of love to give. He’s a fun, enthusiastic boy who can be wonderfully boisterous and full of excitement, but he also has a lovely calm side and is more than happy to settle down and enjoy some peaceful time with his people.Egan is the kind of boy who will keep you smiling with his character and playful nature. He has plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but once he’s had his fun, he can switch off and relax too. He’s looking for a loving home where he can enjoy all the comforts and adventures that life after racing has to offer.Due to his high prey drive, Egan cannot live with cats or small animals. He may be able to share his home with a similar-sized, compatible dog, with careful introductions and the right match. Egan could live with older, sensible children who are comfortable around dogs and understand how to give him space when needed.As an ex-racer, Egan will need a family who understands that life outside of racing may take a little getting used to. With patience, kindness and a steady routine, he can continue to discover just how wonderful life can be.Egan is a lovely boy with so much to offer, and we’d love to see him find the special home he deserves.

About Egan

What life with Egan looks like

Egan is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Egan, answered.

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