Jenny

Whippet · Female · Young · 3 years

Jenny is a polite and friendly girl. She’s very foodie and loves her treats, while squeaky toys are another favourite — she even carries them all the way back to her kennel, which is rather sweet! She’s an easy-going girl who enjoys her walks, her toys and a bit of fuss. Be sure to add her to your favourites and submit an apply to adopt application. At 3 years old, Jenny is a lovely Whippet crossbreed looking for a calm home. She is an affectionate girl who enjoys spending time with her people and would make a wonderful companion for adopters who can offer her plenty of companionship. Jenny will need to be the only pet in the home. Although she is okay in the company of polite walking friends, she prefers her own space when it comes to other dogs and is happiest when keeping to herself. Like a typical sighthound, Jenny does has a high prey drive so adopters will need to be mindful of this when out on her adventures. She walks lovely on lead and travels happily in the car, making her a lovely companion for days out. She could live with secondary school-aged children and have visitors of a similar age. Any leaving hours will need to be introduced gradually and built up over time as she settles into her new home.

About Jenny

What life with Jenny looks like

Jenny is a young adult whippet dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 Jenny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jenny?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Shrewsbury 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 — Dogs Trust Shrewsbury 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 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 Dogs Trust Shrewsbury 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
