Mars

Saluki · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Mars is a 4 yr old male Saluki x who has come to LL after his owners could no longer keep him due to separation anxiety - he was getting very noisy when left and as he lived in a flat, this just wasn't working out. He originally came from a stray pound so has no early history but is now vaccinated and neutered and has undergone some training. He is NOT cat friendly and doesn't really like other dogs running up to him when he's on a lead (not sure if this is ALL dogs or non-sighthounds, but will find out). He travels well and walks nicely on his harness and lead but due to his high prey drive he cannot be let off the lead unless it's a secure field or somewhere that's free of small furries. From reading his write up, Mars sounds like a typical Saluki type - definitely not a dog for a novice owner though. He needs a home as an only dog with people who will be around most of the time and have a secure garden. If you're interested in finding out more about him please email : . To apply to adopt him, please fill in our pre-adoption questionnaire : Mars is currently in West Yorkshire

About Mars

What life with Mars looks like

Mars is a small adult saluki dog waiting at Lurcher Link 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 Mars, answered.

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