Harley

Mixed Breed · Female

17/10/22 Harley is a GSP X Lurcher who is nearly 6 months of age and we are looking to find her a new home very quickly. She has led a sheltered life and will need careful introductions to new things because she is wary and can be anxious. She has been living with a Jack Russel who at first was fine about playing with her but then decided that she was too much for him so they have had to be kept separately otherwise he will attack her. She now thinks that some dogs are frightening and can bark, in the past she has walked with another little dog and was happy saying hello to new dogs. With this in mind we will be Rehoming Harley as an only dog, hopefully in the future when her confidence has been built around new dogs, she can remember how much fun she used to have playing with them. Harley has never lived with children but has met children 10 and above and has always been good with them, she tries to play with them and at times depending on her mood she can still jump up at the moment. Harley is fully vaccinated, she travels very well and will sit or cuddle on your lap quietly. She hasn’t met livestock so careful introductions would be needed. No cats because she will chase. She has only been off lead in a shared garden and then her recall was good because there wasn’t anything distracting her. She responds to a “quiet” command if barking too long. Sometimes a whistle or treats for general commands. Does sit and paw (just lifts paw up) and will wait sometimes. Harley hasn’t been left at home alone, so this would need to be something to consider because it would take time to teach her.

About Harley

What life with Harley looks like

Harley is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

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 Harley, answered.

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