Lenny

Greyhound · Male · Young · 2 years

Meet Lenny, racing name Arthur Length, who is a lovely boy, unfortunately for him he’s one of those greyhounds who is going grey all over so he looks older than he is. Don’t let this put you off this delightful boy, he’s just 4 1/2 yrs old (DOB 01/02/2022). Lenny gets on well with other greyhounds and most other breeds of dog, so would make a great second hound after the appropriate introductions. He loves attention and sidles up for a lean and a cuddle - sometime pushing you over! He enjoys his walks and is good on the lead., he travels well in the car and enjoys a day out. He's very friendly and just loves a fuss. He's been fine with any dogs we have met and really isn't bothered by them. He likes a romp in our paddock but he's pretty chilled otherwise and is clean in his kennel. He's a happy boy and his tail never stops wagging. Lenny has recently come back from being in a home for over 6 mths. He was initially the perfect pet but has recently shown signs of separation anxiety, we are not quite sure what has gone on to change him, but as both he and his previous owner where clearly unhappy he has been returned to us. Do get in touch if you'd like to meet him. We know big, black males like him often get overlooked but he has a lovely personality and would make someone a great pet. He could live with older children but due to his recent issues we are looking for a home where he will have company for most of the day.

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a large young adult greyhound dog waiting at Greyhound Trust Shropshire and Borders in United Kingdom.

A young 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 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. Greyhound Trust Shropshire and Borders 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 — Greyhound Trust Shropshire and Borders 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 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 Greyhound Trust Shropshire and Borders 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.
