Mufasa

Greyhound Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 6 years

Handsome 6 year old Mufasa joined us in September and he is settling in well. He's made it clear that he is totally bonkers! But also one of the most loving and friendly dogs we've ever met. He adores people and loves to jump up for cuddles, although he does tend to forget that he's 38kg of massive oaf at times!. He's excellent with his Greyhound friends and we've started his introductions to other breeds but this will need to be continued carefully by his adopters as he does have a high prey drive. He loves his walks and although he can be strong initially, he soon settles down to walk nicely on the lead. He loves to play and enjoys off lead time in our fully secure field. We know Mufasa is sadly going to be a challenge to home due to his size, prey drive and strength but he is one of the most amazing, funny, clever and loving boys we've ever had in our care and we know he will make an amazing pet to the right understanding and sensible home that is willing to give him a chance . Mufasa is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, will go home with collar & lead, house collar, muzzle, 4 weeks free insurance, 2kg bag of food, teddy, Dorwest supplement, information pack and a lifetime of support and back up should you ever need it. Homechecks and donation apply. If you think you can offer Mufasa his forever home please contact us by filling in a pre-adoption questionnaire

About Mufasa

What life with Mufasa looks like

Mufasa is an adult greyhound dog waiting at Barley Greyhound Sanctuary 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Mufasa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mufasa?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Barley Greyhound Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mufasa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mufasa if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Barley Greyhound Sanctuary 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mufasa 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mufasa isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Barley Greyhound Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mufasa 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 β€” 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.
