How do I contact the shelter about Joe?

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 Joe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Joe 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 Joe 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 Joe 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 Joe 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.

Joe

Greyhound · Male

Gentle and easy going Joe is looking to leave kennels behind! Fostering saves lives - can you foster Joe? Fostering is the heart of what we do at RIGHT. Every greyhound needs a real home to decompress, learn about everyday life and show their personality. It's how we make the best matches for life. Yesterday, houndsome Joe left kennel life behind forever and made his way to Dublin, where he has now settled into his loving foster home 🏡. A heartfelt THANK YOU to Sheena, Paul and adorable resident houndie Dorrie for responding to our foster appeal and giving this sweet fella the chance to jump off our waiting list and begin his journey home 🙏. Joe's foster family share that he is absolutely adorable and that photos simply do not do him justice. He is equal parts houndsome and affectionate, so every time they try to take a photo he is far too busy trying to get a cuddle 📸. He is settling in really well, and he and resident houndie Dorrie have already become fast friends 🐕. A tremendous THANK YOU goes to Javi for generously helping to transport Joe on his journey to foster. Your time and efforts mean the world to us. 💙 Equal parts houndsome and affectionate 🤗 Would always rather have a cuddle than sit still for a photo 🐕 Already fast friends with resident houndie Dorrie 🏡 Settling into home life really well 🏡 Location: Dublin, Cork or nearby surrounding areas. 👶 Children: Age 10+ and dog savvy. 🐾 Other pets: No small pets. Good with calm dogs. 🌿 Garden: Fully enclosed and secure if present. 🕐 Home presence: Someone home most of the day to give a young pup the time and reassurance he needs. ⏰ Time commitment: Temporary, usually 2-8 weeks until adoption. • You give him his very first experience of home life and human companionship. • You help him build the confidence he needs to thrive as a pet. • You free up a space so RIGHT can help the next hound on the waiting list. • You prepare him for the forever family who is out there waiting for him. • It's a temporary commitment that makes a lifelong difference. • All costs covered: food, vet care, supplies. • Regular check-ins and support. • Guidance every step of the way. • Most placements last 2-8 weeks. We guide you through everything and provide full support. We ask for kindness, consistency and a warm space for Joe to feel safe. Written by the Rehoming Irish Greyhounds team. We're a group of volunteers and long-time greyhound owners helping Ireland's greyhounds find the sofas they were born for. Every post comes from lived experience of fostering, adopting and being completely won over by these gentle couch potatoes.

About Joe

What life with Joe looks like

Joe 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).
