Lightning

Greyhound · Female

Lightning is a very distinguished looking black female greyhound with the most adorable greying face. She is 5 years of age. Lightning is a really lovely girl, who was always the boss of the litter in the nicest possible way. We havel aleady rehomed her mum and two of her litter siblings. Please feel free to call us for an informal chat if you feel Lightning could be your new family member. Click here for details. Close Location: Currently still in kennels with her trainer in Yorkshire until a foster home or forever home is found. Thunder would love a foster home while she waits for her forever family. We are very stuck for foster homes right now, so any help that you can give at all would be hugely appreciated. Her trainer is quite happy for any potential owners to visit his kennels to me

About Lightning

What life with Lightning looks like

Lightning is an adult greyhound dog waiting at Kerry Greyhound Connection UK 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 Lightning, answered.

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