Isabella

Lurcher · Female · Adult · 4 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs settling in Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled As Isabella came into our care as a stray, we don’t know whether she has ever lived in a home or been left alone. She appears settled and comfortable in her kennel during the day, but any time home alone will need to be introduced gradually and slowly built up as she settles into her new home. Do I have any medical conditions? None This pet has a clean bill of health and can be fully insured after rehoming. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Since being with us, Isabella has met and walked alongside a number of other dogs. She has been polite and calm when meeting them, although she can feel uncomfortable around overly excited dogs and would rather not interact with them. Isabella is happy to have a quick hello before carrying on with her walk alongside her people. As Isabella came into our care as a stray, we don’t know whether she has ever lived with another dog. However, based on what we have seen so far, we feel she would benefit from being the only dog in her future home. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Isabella has shown herself to be a sweet, affectionate and calm girl who really enjoys the company of her familiar people. As Isabella came into our care as a stray, we don’t know whether she has ever met or lived with children. From what we have seen of her sweet and gentle nature, we feel she could potentially live with children aged 8 years and over, provided they understand and respect her calm and slightly shy nature. What type of environment would suit me? It is essential that Isabella has access to a secure, private garden in her new home. As she is not suitable to be let off lead in public areas, having a safe and secure space where she can enjoy some off-lead zoomies and explore at her own pace will be very beneficial for her. About Isabella Isabella is a sweet, friendly, and loving lurcher who loves to go on long walks with plenty of sniff spots and spending quality time with her people (including getting as many treats as possible!) Isabella loves to spend her time curled up and snuggled in her bed snoozing for as long as she can in between her walks. Since arriving here she has really come out of her shell and has been more playful with toys and having zoomies!

About Isabella

What life with Isabella looks like

Isabella is a small adult lurcher dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity 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 Isabella, answered.

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