Felix

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 6 years

Felix is our gorgeous 6-year-old Greyhound looking for his forever home where he can build confidence and relax. He is one of the friendliest boys with anyone he meets, especially if they have his favourite treats to hand. He’s a massive foodie which will help with continuing training and confidence building. He loves to chase tennis balls, but doesn’t know what to do with them once he’s reached it! This affectionate gentleman has lived a life in kennels so may be a little worried about being left on his own in the home to begin with. Felix is a loving boy who would love to live with children upper secondary school age and above, as long as they are comfortable with a large sized dog. He is our amazing greyhound looking for a pawfect home that will offer patience, love and lots of tasty treats! He’s still very unsure about stairs and elevators so is currently looking for a home not accessed by these, this could be a house or a ground floor flat, whilst we work on building his confidence. Due to being an ex-racer Felix cannot live with cats or small furries due to his prey drive – this also means that this gorgeous boy needs to be kept on the lead in public places. He would also love to be the only dog in the home, so he can lap up all the attention for himself. Felix will benefit from having a garden or surrounding green areas to continue his housetraining.

About Felix

What life with Felix looks like

Felix is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

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 Felix, answered.

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