Frodo

Greyhound · Male · Young · 3 years

Frodo is an angel - he is housetrained, but may need some reminding in his new place of residence. He has been left alone for up to 4 hours in his previous home, so there is scope for this to happen again once settled in! Frodo is good on lead, but may need some training due to his excitable nature - his love of food will help with this!! He's great with all sorts of handling, especially a good cuddle with his people! Frodo's idea of the best day would be a nice sniffy walk with his pals followed by a chase of his ball, a cuddle on the sofa and a big, long lasting chew to finish the day. Frodo will need owners committed to ensuring he's set up for success around other dogs, so that means putting in work with his muzzle training and ensuring he wears it on his walks. He travels well in the car, so this will ensure he can go for lovely adventures in quieter areas. We can't wait to see this gorgeous guy snuggled up on his forever sofa! Meet gorgeous Frodo - a 3.5-year old scruffy Lurcher looking for his forever home! Frodo is looking to be the only dog in the home as he has been picked on in the past and finds bigger dogs quite worrying, though, he can make friends with smaller, calm dogs. Frodo is looking for an adult only home, who can offer him all the fuss and love he desires! Frodo can be bouncy and boisterous, and very typical with his playstyle. Frodo is a beautiful boy, who enjoys big cuddles and fusses on the sofa. Frodo loves to spend time playing with his people and his toys - particularly chasing after balls or a game of tug! Frodo loves a snack, and this will come in handy when it comes to training! Frodo is happy to walk with smaller dogs, but can find bigger or vocal dogs worrying so for this reason, would prefer quieter areas to walk. Frodo is learning to wear his muzzle on walks, which he's comfortable in! He has become quite the favourite amongst his handlers for being the sweetest boy in the world!

About Frodo

What life with Frodo looks like

Frodo is a large young adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

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 Frodo, answered.

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