EXPRESS D.O.B. 7.3.19 No cats No small dogs Seven year old EXPRESS arrived with us on the 12th November 2024 and settled in well. Initially he was a little wary and took some time to get to know our volunteers and routine, but soon started to relax. His confidence has continued to increase with each passing day. At the beginning Express was reactive towards other breeds of dog that he met on his daily walks. Through daily exposure - and guidance from our walking volunteers - his behaviour has changed and he can now walk past any breed of dog calmly. He also enjoys a fuss after his walk and has spent some time in our enrichment room with our volunteers. He particularly loves zooming around our sand paddock! Recently Express enjoyed some time away from kennels, walking in Worsley woods where he had new experiences including noisy trucks and workmen laying a new path. We're pleased to say he took everything in his stride and was particularly happy to meet one of our volunteers and her hounds while on their walk. We are grateful to our volunteers for enabling Express to have new experiences such as this, all of which is vital preparation for his new life as a pet. We are looking for a quiet home for Express with someone who has some greyhound/large dog experience.

About EXPRESS

What life with EXPRESS looks like

EXPRESS is a large young adult greyhound dog waiting at Makants Greyhound Rescue NW in United Kingdom.

A young 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 EXPRESS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about EXPRESS?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Makants Greyhound Rescue NW handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw EXPRESS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt EXPRESS if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Makants Greyhound Rescue NW 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is EXPRESS 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 EXPRESS 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 Makants Greyhound Rescue NW early rather than rehoming privately; they know EXPRESS 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.
