Elia

Greyhound · Female · Young · 3 years

Elia is a quiet, gentle sweetheart who starts off a little timid but has a beautiful soul just waiting to unfold.MEET ELIA: A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Quiet Haven Elia, a truly stunning, dainty girl born in September 2023 who stands at 25 inches to her shoulder. She is currently waiting patiently in North Cork for a family to call her own! Elia is a quiet, gentle sweetheart who starts off a little timid but has a beautiful soul just waiting to unfold. Once she knows she is safe and gets to know you, her true, affectionate personality shines right through! She is absolutely spotless in her kennel, meaning she is well on her way to mastering house manners in no time! Perfect on the Lead: Elia walks beautifully on her lead and quite happily trots along side-by-side with another dog. She is incredibly sweet-natured and will undoubtedly become your most loyal best friend once trust is built. A quieter life suits her best. A rural home or a calm, non-hectic urban area would be perfect to keep her from feeling unsettled. Elia would love the company of a resident dog to help boost her confidence! A match with a smaller dog would just need a quick compatibility test first. Cats: She prefers a cat-free home. The Environment: A peaceful, low-stress household where she can blossom at her own gentle pace. Elia is completely ready for her fresh start! She comes fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and treated for parasites. Adopters will need to visit the kennels in North Cork to meet her. If you have an existing family dog, they must come along for a meet-and-greet! An adoption fee and a standard home visit apply.

About Elia

What life with Elia looks like

Elia is a young adult greyhound dog waiting at HART Animal Rescue Ireland in Cork.

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 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 Elia, answered.

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