Adopt Flint

Greyhound · Male · Young · 3 years

Flint is a quiet boy who likes to say hello to people and has no issues with strangers, even the vet. He takes everything in his long stride and is very easy going, only showing any real excitement when he spots a squirrel. Flint seems to be a fairly confident dog and has no qualms about sticking his long snoot into available treat pouches, so we'd suggest keeping your worktops free of food at home when he's around! He is sharing his kennel happily with another Greyhound and seems relatively at ease with other large dogs although he doesn't get involved when his pal is playing with toys, he likes to watch her intently! It would be a good idea to make sure he is monitored around any new toys if he lives with another dog, just to make sure there's no issues. Flint can live with other Greyhounds or large dogs and children of high school age. As he is an ex racer he is unlikely to have been in a home before so please be patient with his house training and getting used to spending time alone. Flint has alopecia and would benefit from some cosy jumpers in cooler weather.

About Flint

What life with Flint looks like

Flint is a large young adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Merseyside in Liverpool.

An 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 Flint, answered.

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