Iggy

Lurcher · Male · Young · 1 year

Iggy arrived as a stray, he was lucky to be caught on the side of the busy A9. He’s a sweet boy, loves a cuddle with female humans mostly, it’s a no to male humans! Loves other dogs, Willow the Patterdale has been showing him how to play with toys. Being a sighthound we would not recommend a home with cats or small furry residents. As he was a stray we will not rehome to families with children under 12. Sighthounds are not renowned for their recall so we would love his own private garden for off lead exercise and ZOOOOOOOOMIES!!! He’s been diagnosed with vasculitis, where the blood vessels in his ears are bursting causing bleeding, which we’re treating at this time with steroids. The rehoming fee is £250. 00 for all dogs.

About Iggy

What life with Iggy looks like

Iggy is a small young adult lurcher dog waiting at Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society in Perth.

A young 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 Iggy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Iggy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Iggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Iggy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Iggy 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 Iggy 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 Perthshire Abandoned Dog Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know Iggy 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.
