Falkor

Saluki · Male · Puppy · 15 months

Legs like spaghetti, Falkor is such a happy boy who is raring to go. It can take time for him to warm to your kindness but once your best friend, he springs along like a lamb, carrying his toys in his mouth. Falkor loves cuddle time on the sofa, playing with tennis balls and given the opportunity, helping himself to food if left within eye reach. Loving the outdoors, particularly when it’s nice and warm, Falkor would love a garden to sunbathe and zoom around in. His fencing must be 6ft + due to his very high prey drive and he must be walked wearing a muzzle. He is a fantastic walker but hiring out a secure field would be ideal for off lead exercise.

About Falkor

What life with Falkor looks like

Falkor is a puppy/kitten saluki dog waiting at Leicester & Leicestershire Animal Aid in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Falkor, answered.

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