Living with dogs: I need a home without another dog Living with cats: I cannot live with cats Living with small animals: I cannot live with small animals Living with children: I need a home without children Looking for: A home with someone around for most of the time Ideal home location: I need a home with an enclosed garden Monty is a gorgeous 16-month-old Greyhound x Saluki with a huge heart, plenty of teenage mischief and, quite literally, a LOT of bounce! Very much in his teenage phase, Monty is a fun-loving, energetic boy who loves people, food, enrichment, chasing toys and having a good time! His enthusiasm for life often comes in big bursts of zoomies and high-energy play. Monty is a very sweet, affectionate boy who loves being around people. He can be quite excitable when meeting new people or experiencing new things, but beneath his confident, bouncy exterior is a softer, more sensitive boy who can actually be a little timid. He'll need a home that understands this and can help him build confidence through patience, reassurance and consistency. Monty is still learning how to navigate life in a home and manage his lively behaviours, particularly when he's around people. An experienced owner would be ideal, although someone willing to learn alongside him and invest in his ongoing training would be equally welcome. He needs guidance to help him develop the skills to settle, switch off and become a well-rounded adult dog.

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a large young adult greyhound dog waiting at RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch in United Kingdom.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch whether they will for Monty, 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 Monty already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Monty. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Monty isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
