How do I contact the shelter about Freya?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Ilfracombe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Freya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Freya if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Ilfracombe 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 Freya 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 Freya 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 Ilfracombe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Freya 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.

Adopt Freya

Greyhound · Female · Young · 2 years

Give Freya the time she needs, and you’ll have an incredibly rewarding companion. Once she has formed a bond, her affectionate side shines through and she absolutely loves a cuddle with her favourite people. She greets those she knows with excitement and enthusiasm and builds wonderfully strong relationships with the people she trusts. Freya enjoys spending time with other dogs when out and about and loves both playtime and exploring on her walks. She already knows "sit" and is currently learning "stay", showing how eager she is to learn. The quickest way to Freya's heart is through her favourite treats, cheese and sausage are guaranteed winners! While she may choose to observe visitors from a safe distance at first, Freya's confidence grows with patience and kindness, and she soon begins to show her sweet and excitable personality. She loves chasing toys, zooming around outside and taking in all the exciting smells on her walks. When the adventures are over, Freya is a true couch potato at heart. One of her favourite places to be is curled up on the sofa, snoozing peacefully in a patch of sunshine. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion and are happy to let a friendship develop at Freya's pace, she could be the perfect addition to your family. Freya is a beautiful 2-year-old Saluki cross Greyhound with a gentle soul and so much love to give. She can be very shy when meeting new people and will be looking for adopters who can offer her the patience, understanding and reassurance she needs to blossom. She will need time to develop a bond with her new family. Freya is searching for a calm and quiet home where she can settle at her own pace. She can live with children aged 14 years plus. As she has a history of chasing cats and birds, she will need a home without small furries. We have no history of her around livestock. Freya could potentially live with another calm and confident dog who can help show her the ropes. She would also be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home and would benefit from having friendly canine companions to enjoy walks and social outings with. As with many dogs settling into a new environment, Freya will need support with building up time left alone and a refresher on her housetraining. She can be strong on lead at times. She travels well in the car and would love to join her new family on adventures once she has settled in. To help her feel secure, Freya is looking for a home with minimal visitors initially while she adjusts to her new surroundings.

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is a small young adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe in Ilfracombe.

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.
