Adopt Minnie

Greyhound · Female · Senior · 9 years

Everyone, meet Minnie! Minnie is a 9 year old greyhound who retired 5 years ago, but sadly spent those years in a racing kennel waiting to finally get out of there and start her new life. Minnie shares her kennel with another male greyhound and she is absolutely fantastic with him. She loves the company of another hound and is a perfect lady with him, so we do feel that she can live with another hound for sure. She could also be an only dog quite happily. Minnie can live with older children and most families will be considered. Minnie really has no experience with the outside world at all, she retired at 3 and then for some odd reason spent years in a racing kennel when she could have, and should have been put in to rescue to find a home. She has missed out on so much life, and she is now more than ready to find her forever sofa and leave those horrible days behind her. Minnie hasn’t quite been here long enough to fully assess her, but from what we’ve seen so far she is honestly an incredible, loving and happy little girl with so much personality and affection to give. Whoever takes her home has the absolute honour of exposing her to the joys of the outside world. Take things at her pace, and understand this is all incredibly brand new to her. In the right hands, Minnie will blossom into an absolutely amazing companion. We already love her so much here at Sun Valley and just cannot wait for her to finally be able to start her life!

About Minnie

What life with Minnie looks like

Minnie is a senior greyhound dog waiting at description in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Minnie, answered.

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