Howie

Greyhound · Male

Howie My name is Howard/Howie.Currently in foster home in Ireland.I am a very friendly and lovable boy. I have been with my foster family Mary and Dom for 6 weeks.They are very kind to me.I love going on my walks with lots of sniffs.I love to zoom around the back garden when we play ball. I run around the table and in by the side of the house, its great fun. Mary says i am very fast.I love my food and other peoples too. I got a lovely juicy sandwich and ham one day.They call me a counter cruiser. I thought that might be something good, but i havnt been able to get my paws on anything lately.I love Mary and Doms bed, so snuggly and cosy, but they say i have to be a good boy and sleep on my own bed which is just beside their bed.I love being called a good boy so i am going to try to stay on my bed.I meet other dogs on my walks , sometimes i just walk past, sometimes i stop and we have a good sniff. All very friendly.I feel sad when i am left alone but its never for too long and its great when they come back, i get lots of hugs and a little treat for being so good.My favourite part of the day is the evening time when i can snuggle on the couch with Mary and Dom.It is doggy heaven.I wouldn’t be cat freindly.www.norfolkgreyhoundrescue.co.uk07470 931758See less Click here for Adoption Details

About Howie

What life with Howie looks like

Howie is a adult greyhound dog waiting at Norfolk Greyhound Rescue 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 Howie, answered.

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