How do I contact the shelter about Jenson?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RIGHT - Rehoming Irish Greyhounds Team handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jenson on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jenson if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RIGHT - Rehoming Irish Greyhounds Team 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Jenson 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 Jenson 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 RIGHT - Rehoming Irish Greyhounds Team early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jenson 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.

Jenson

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 7 years

Jenson, a gentle, affectionate six-year-old black boy who arrived in Dublin, found the sofa and has been soaking up cuddles ever since. What his foster pawrent says: “Jenson looks at you with such pure adoration, you suddenly understand what unconditional love really feels like.” Jenson is a six-year-old black greyhound who has just arrived in his Dublin foster home and is already making himself very much at home. He came in calm, curious and ready to explore, giving everything a thorough sniff before declaring himself satisfied with the arrangements. He didn't miss dinner either. In fact, he kept a very close eye on the preparations from the moment they started. A boy who knows what matters. Jenson is feeling safe, settled and ready to find his forever family. He loves comfort, routine and knowing where his people are. Whether he is heading out for a walk, relaxing indoors or leaning in for cuddles, Jenson takes each part of the day as it comes. Calm, thoughtful and easy to live with, he has a lovely steady presence. He also has a playful side. When walk time rolls around, Jenson lights up completely and treats his foster family to a happy dance that has been compared to a bouncing baby hippo. It is every bit as good as it sounds. Jenson is the sort of hound who leaves a big impression without ever making a fuss. He is affectionate, beautifully mannerly and very tuned in to his people. Life with Jenson looks calm, cosy and full of quiet little moments that make you smile. 🖤 Gentle, thoughtful boy with a calm and affectionate nature.🤗 Loves cuddles, belly scratches and being close to his humans.🦮 Excellent on the lead and a pleasure to walk.🐕 Ignores yappy dogs and stays calm around other dogs in the home.🚽 Fully toilet trained and has had no indoor accidents.😴 Sleeps soundly through the night, complete with adorable happy bear groans.🌍 Quietly confident and completely unfazed by traffic and busy surroundings.🧸 No resource guarding, a lovely mannerly boy at home.👀 Likes to pause and assess things on walks, especially if a squirrel or cat catches his eye.🏡 Best suited to a house rather than an apartment, as lifts are not his thing at all.🦛 Comes with a hilarious happy dance before walks, included free of charge! RIGHT is a volunteer-run, foster-based organisation founded in 2019, dedicated to finding loving homes for Irish greyhounds here in Ireland. Every greyhound in our care lives in a real home with an experienced foster family before adoption. This means that by the time you meet a RIGHT hound, they are already house-trained, used to home comforts and showing you exactly who they are. Our foster families give us a real picture of each hound's personality, routines and needs, so we can match the right hound with the right home. We also host regular meet and greet events across Ireland, giving you the chance to meet our hounds in a relaxed, friendly setting. View some of the hounds here. Greyhounds are one of the most misunderstood breeds around. They're gentle, quiet and surprisingly easy to live with. Two short walks a day, a warm bed and a bit of company is really all they ask for. • Two short walks a day, then back to the couch.• Quiet and calm, with a playful side that catches you off guard.• Low maintenance coat and very easy to groom.• Adaptable to most homes and lifestyles.• Full of personality: roaching, sighing and being adorably odd. Once a greyhound chooses you, you'll wonder how you ever managed without one. Learn more about greyhounds» If you'd like to meet Jenson or any of our other hounds, complete our adoption enquiry form here and we'll get back to you. We'd love to help you find your perfect match. Black but currently sporting a kennel coat that looks almost like a grizzly bear!

About Jenson

What life with Jenson looks like

Jenson is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at RIGHT - Rehoming Irish Greyhounds Team in Dublin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇪Adopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).
