Mikey

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 8 years

Mikey is a distinguished black greyhound with a touch of silver gracing his muzzle, giving him an air of quiet sophistication. Despite his dignified look, he's a gentle and playful soul, happiest when he’s surrounded by love and affection. A true "pampered pooch" at heart, Mikey adores spending his days lounging comfortably, interspersed with playful moments running around in the garden with his favorite toys. He’s low-maintenance but appreciates the finer things in life—a cozy bed, a gentle hand to pet him, and a serene environment where he feels safe and cherished. This affectionate boy has a special affinity for women and would thrive in an all-lady household where he can truly relax and feel at ease. Men make him a bit uncomfortable, so he’s hoping to find a peaceful home with a loving lady who understands his sensitive nature and is ready to welcome him as her loyal companion. Mikey promises loyalty, companionship, and plenty of sweet moments. If you’re looking for a calm, elegant greyhound with a soft side and a heart full of love, Mikey might just be the perfect match for you.

About Mikey

What life with Mikey looks like

Mikey is an adult greyhound dog waiting at Hector 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 Mikey, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mikey?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Hector 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Hector whether they will for Mikey, what they require (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 Mikey already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Mikey. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Hector, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mikey isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Hector about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
