Fig

Saluki · Female · Young · 1 year

Fig is a very sweet and happy girl. She demonstrates a lot of puppy like behaviours so is going to need a family that is committed to putting in all of the basic training that she needs. Fig struggles to walk on a lead and does prefer to army crawl which suggests that she hasn’t been outside very much. She is very sociable with people and loves nothing more than jumping up for cuddles. She can be a little shy and timid at first. Fig will need an active home with an enclosed garden that she can spend a lot of time in to help her gain confidence. Fig has socialised well with dogs so could potentially be rehomed with one of a similar temperament. She can have her mad moments with her only being young, so would benefit from a dog that would want to play with her and help her confidence improve. Fig can be rehomed with dog savvy children who are 10 years and over -subject to a successful meet.

About Fig

What life with Fig looks like

Fig is a medium-sized young adult saluki dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Cheshire) in Warrington.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Fig, answered.

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