Manhattan

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 4 years

Manny is a handsome boy who is full of personality. He is a friendly, sweet and cuddly Greyhound who loves to cuddle up and have a fuss with people. He has a lively, goofy personality which makes everyone smile. Manny adores his toys and will play independently with them. Manny would love a home where he can go on nice walks and adventures, with a lovely cosy spot to come home to and relax. Manny is a bundle of love who loves to put a smile on his handler's face with his wonderful and goofy personality. He will make a brilliant addition to his adopter's life! Meet Manhattan (Manny), a 4-year-old Greyhound. Manny is suitable to live with older primary school-aged children and above, provided they are comfortable around large dogs. He is looking to be the only dog and pet in the home; however, he could have walking friends. As an ex-racer, he has shown signs of a chase drive; for this reason, he wouldn't be suitable to live with other small pets. Manny hasn't lived in a home environment before, so he would need minimal leaving hours to start and build up slowly.

About Manhattan

What life with Manhattan looks like

Manhattan is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

An 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 Manhattan, answered.

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