Madge

Greyhound · Female · Adult · 7 years

Life with Madge is full of sweet little moments that will quickly make her feel like she has always belonged by your side. You can picture her trotting happily beside you on peaceful countryside walks before returning home to proudly dig through her toy box, selecting her favourite squeaky ball or soft toy to toss around with delight. She adores meeting new people and enjoys a gentle fuss, but is equally content simply being close to her favourite humans while she relaxes and watches the world go by. Beneath her playful personality is a wonderfully affectionate and sensitive girl who is ready to build a strong bond with her new family. For the right adopter, Madge won’t just be a pet, she’ll be your calm companion on quiet mornings, your entertainment during playtime in the garden and your loyal best friend. Madge is a gentle 7-year-old Greyhound looking for a calm, loving home where she can finally settle into the easy going life she deserves. She would love living with adopters who enjoy a quieter pace of life, perhaps in a smaller residential area with peaceful walking routes where you can enjoy relaxed strolls together. A garden of her own would make Madge incredibly happy, giving her space for the occasional zoomies before curling up somewhere cosy for an afternoon snooze. She could happily live with sensible primary school aged children and would be comfortable welcoming visitors into the home, greeting new faces with a wagging tail. Madge is fairly independent and settles well with toys and a chew when left alone, though she will need a gentle settling in period and continued support with housetraining and lead manners as she adjusts to home life. She can become overexcited around other dogs and would benefit from calmer walking areas and a home on a quieter road. Most importantly, Madge is looking for patient adopters who can continue building her confidence and training around other dogs at her pace.

About Madge

What life with Madge looks like

Madge is a adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shoreham in Shoreham by Sea.

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 Madge, answered.

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