Jenny

Female · Senior · 9 years

Jenny is a beautiful 9 year 7 month old merle Lurcher who looks very much like a Greyhound — and she has the wonderfully placid nature to match. Her stunning colouring and beautiful eyes perfectly reflect her gentle and loving personality; she truly is beautiful inside and out. She is an absolute delight to take out and about, happily strolling along by your side and taking everything in her stride. Jenny loves nothing more than laying beside you. She gives the classic Greyhound lean, gently resting into you for affection, which is simply lovely. While she enjoys a little playtime in the garden, she is just as happy settling down calmly beside you afterwards. Jenny is a very calm, gentle girl both in general and around other dogs. She could potentially live with older children following successful introductions, and may also be able to live with another friendly, calm dog pending suitable introductions. Jenny is a sweet, easy-going companion who would make a wonderful addition to a loving home.

About Jenny

What life with Jenny looks like

Jenny is a senior dog waiting at Durham Dogs & Cats Home in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Jenny, answered.

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