Lory

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

The Basics Age: 3 Gender: Female Energy Level: Medium Weight: 13kg Meet Lory! Lory’s journey with us began in a place of extreme danger. She was living as a stray, wandering along the edge of a busy high-speed road—a terrifying situation for any dog, but particularly so for Lory, who is partially deaf. When we first saw her photos, the sheer vulnerability in her eyes hit us immediately; we knew we simply couldn’t say no, and brought her straight into our care. Now that she is safe, this sweet girl is learning what it feels like to be protected, valued, and loved. While she has limited hearing, it doesn't hold her back—she reads body language brilliantly and is very tuned in to her surroundings. Lory is ready to leave her perilous past behind and settle into a calm, secure home where she can truly blossom. Health Lory is negative to all Mediterranean diseases including leishmaniasis and brucella canis. Compatibility She is very good with all other dogs.

About Lory

What life with Lory looks like

Lory is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Italian Setters in United Kingdom.

An young 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 Lory, answered.

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