Felix

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 6 years

Felix is our gorgeous 6-year-old Greyhound looking for his forever home to settle his paws into. He is a super friendly boy 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 he has just moved to one of our lovely foster homes. In this foster home, Felix has been a great house guest, picking up on house-training quickly and enjoying playtime as well as fusses. He is a pleasure to walk and has been sleeping overnight with no issues. He's happy to say hello to visitors and enjoys spending his time relaxing and snoozing the day away. 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. 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. Felix can say hello to other dogs but isn't overly interested so would love to be the only dog in the home, so he can lap up all the attention for himself.

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 "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Dogs Trust Manchester whether they will for Felix, what they require (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 Felix already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Felix. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Dogs Trust Manchester, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Felix isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Dogs Trust Manchester about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
