But we desperately want him out the cold and on a sofa of his own.

About Mr Digby

What life with Mr Digby looks like

Mr Digby is a large young adult lurcher dog waiting at Angels 4 Dogs Rescue 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 Mr Digby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mr Digby?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Angels 4 Dogs Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mr Digby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mr Digby 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 Angels 4 Dogs Rescue whether they will for Mr Digby, 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 Mr Digby already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Mr Digby. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Angels 4 Dogs Rescue, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mr Digby isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Angels 4 Dogs Rescue about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mr Digby 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.
