Emyr

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 4 years

Meet Emyr! Emyr is a beautiful big boy who has graced us all with his fun personality here at Hillcrest! Emyr is a confident, playful boy who has settled well into the Hillcrest routine. Emry greets familiar and non familiar people with ease, showing his cool and confident personality. He also thoroughly enjoys playtime in our paddock, especially playing with his toys, throwing them around and also enjoying a good game of tug with his handler! Emyr has enjoyed a few off-site adventures since being with us, he can start off his walk a little excited, but he settles well into the walk and has remained calm when seeing non-sighthound breeds. Emyr has also spent time in our house on site, showing good house manners, toileting outside and enjoying some fuss from his handler. If you are looking for a big, fun boy then Emyr may be the one for you!

About Emyr

What life with Emyr looks like

Emyr is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Greyhound Rescue Wales in United Kingdom.

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 Emyr, answered.

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