Geelo

Greyhound · Female · Adult · 7 years

Geelo is a calm and gentle Greyhound who is looking for a quiet and loving home. Based at our Old Windsor Centre, this lovely girl has a kind nature and has been friendly with every person she has met. Geelo loves affection and is always happy to receive a fuss. Once she gets to know you, she'll often do the Greyhound lean into you for more attention. When she's not spending time with her favourite people, Geelo can usually be found curled up in a cosy bed, enjoying one of her many snoozes. She is friendly with other dogs and enjoys social walks with canine companions who share her calm and easy-going nature. Geelo appreciates a relaxed lifestyle and would be happiest in a home that can offer her the steady routine she enjoys. Although Geelo is a gentle soul, she can occasionally feel nervous about being handled. Because of this, she is looking for a home with teenagers and above who can understand and respect her space when needed. If you're looking for a loving, laid-back companion to share your days, Geelo could be the perfect addition to your family. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Geelo you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest. We ask every customer to first complete our online rehoming application form, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here;

About Geelo

What life with Geelo looks like

Geelo is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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 Geelo, answered.

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