Misty

Greyhound · Female · Young · 2 years

Misty 🤍🐾 Misty is a striking white and brindle girl - fast, elegant, and absolutely beautiful to watch when she stretches her legs for zoomies. She loves her toys and has a playful spark, but she’s reserved and needs a little extra time to feel secure. On her first day, Misty followed people around the field, always curious but keeping just a safe little distance - almost within arm’s reach, but not quite. She’s clearly interested and wants to be near you, she just needs patience while she learns that the world (and cuddles!) Misty walks well on the lead, though like many sensitive souls she may pull if she gets spooked. She would really benefit from the guidance of a calm, well-settled dog in the home to help show her the ropes and build her confidence. With time, understanding, and gentle encouragement, Misty will reward her family with loyalty, quiet companionship, and those beautiful zoomies when she feels truly at home. 💕

About Misty

What life with Misty looks like

Misty is a young adult greyhound dog waiting at Hector in United Kingdom.

A young 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 Misty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Misty?: 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 Misty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Misty 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 Misty, 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 Misty already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Misty. 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 Misty 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 Misty 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.
