Lenny

Greyhound · Male

I am very friendly and excitable. I do jump up in excitement so I need a confident owner that realises I am just happy to be out On Walks I am: I am quite strong and I can walk nicely with other Greyhounds. I haven’t really seen other breeds before so I can be a little bit reactive. I am getting better with this though. My Ideal Home is: I think I would prefer an adult only home with maybe teenagers. I already am improving so much with people at Kennels but it was a bit of a shock to me leaving my sheltered life. I am doing so much better now I am in the outside world with a little help from humans. My Ideal Owner is: A strong confident owner that will continue to help me improve when I am walking amongst other breeds I Love: I don’t really know how to play with toys just yet, but I am trying. I enjoy racing around the paddocks burning off my energy in Zoomies Child Friendly: Older Dog Friendly: Similar breeds Cat Friendly: No

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a adult greyhound dog waiting at Maxi 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 Lenny, answered.

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