Adopt Monty

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 6 years

This is Mr Monty; a lovely 6 year old greyhound who just joined the family! Monty retired from racing due to age – running a staggering 200 races before retirement. He’s a little bit battered and bruised from his racing days, but his personality certainly isn’t. Monty is a super loving, fun and happy hound. He loves people, interacts brilliantly with other hounds and also has his very own girlfriend and kennel mate. He shares his space absolutely amazingly, and really enjoys running around our field with her. He can certainly live with another hound. Monty hasn’t been here long enough for us to be able to see how he gets on with other breeds, but if you have a non sighthound in the home already and like the look of Monty, we do a few visits here at the kennel anyway so we can really make sure your dog and Monty get on well before adoption day. Monty would make a lovely family pet with children who are sensible and dog savvy. Monty is a slightly older dude now who has known nothing but work, so now he’s retired he’s just going to want a lovely home to lounge around in and put his feet up. Children will need to understand when Monty wants to be left alone to rest. He’s a very confident boy and a bit of an attention seeker at times so we feel like Monty would love to join his family to the pub, coffee shops etc. He’d love to go places where he can be the star of the show and lap up all the affection and attention from people he can get. We love Monty here, and really enjoy seeing his little personality start to shine through more and more every day. If you’re a nice, easy going home with a Monty sized hole in your heart, please do get in touch! Monty would absolutely love to meet you. Do you think you could give a hound a loving home?

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a adult greyhound dog waiting at description 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 Monty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Monty?
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 Monty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Monty 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 Monty 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 Monty 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 Monty 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.
