Mikey

Greyhound · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Born: 1st June 2008 Mikey is a handsome blue boy who is now 7 years old and has the most beautiful eyes! He has lived in a home before but sadly returned to Fen Bank when his owner fell ill. I am sure that it would not take long before settling in to a home again […]

About Mikey

What life with Mikey looks like

Mikey is a adult greyhound dog waiting at Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary in Friskney.

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 Mikey, answered.

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