Erin Hounds

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Billy ( born June 2022) is a male greyhound who is tall, handsome, dark and keen so who would like to meet similar to be his owner! He is a confident, outgoing boy and very friendly. He is very good in the house and is doing well in foster care. He cannot live with cats or small furries. He is neutered and microchipped. If you understand that he has an enthusiastic, inquisitive streak plus a strong case instinct and are not fazed by that, you will be rewarded with a wonderful friend. If you think Billy could be your new BFF, please contact us. Update from Billy’s fosterer: Billy is a lovely affectionate boy and a fast learner. He enjoys a sofa cuddle. He is a fun lad who really really loves his toys and would adore a large garden or an enclosed dog field to run round in. He could live with other playful sighthounds.

About Erin Hounds

What life with Erin Hounds looks like

Erin Hounds is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Erinhounds in UK.

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 Erin Hounds, answered.

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