Gerry

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 5 years

We have little history for Gerry so he'll appreciate an introduction to the basics of living in a home. However there are lots of positive signs that indicate it shouldn’t take long for him to learn the ropes! He should be ok to be left home alone for a few hours and really does try to keep his kennel clean, so housetraining shouldn’t take long. Gerry has been able to jump into a car and just lies down and settles for the journey, so trips out with him would be fine too. He loves to chase a ball around, followed by a long snooze (well, he is a Greyhound after all!) If this sounds like your perfect match, then add him as a favourite. Gorgeous Gerry is in the race to find his new home. He is able to live with secondary school aged children and can share his home with another Sighthound, pending a successful mix in centre prior to adoption. Gerry is an ex-racer so isn't suitable to live with other animals and wears a muzzle on his walks.

About Gerry

What life with Gerry looks like

Gerry is a adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Evesham in Evesham.

An 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 Gerry, answered.

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