Naomi

Greyhound · Female · Young · 3 years

In the right home, Naomi has the potential to be a deeply loyal and rewarding companion who will form a close connection with her people. She just needs someone willing to understand her and give her the security she deserves. Naomi is a beautiful 3-year-old Greyhound searching for a patient, adult-only home where she can settle in at her own pace and build a strong bond with her people. She’s an affectionate and sensitive girl who thrives in a calm environment with clear boundaries and understanding owners familiar with sighthound or high-prey-drive breeds. She will need to be the only dog in the home, as she prefers having her own space and can become overwhelmed sharing her environment with other dogs. However, out on walks she is able to socialise appropriately with dogs of a similar size and enjoys calm, controlled interactions. Like many Greyhounds, Naomi has a strong prey drive and is walked wearing a muzzle for safety. She also benefits from walking on a harness, as she can pull on the lead, though she walks much more comfortably and calmly with the right equipment and handling. Travel can be stressful and overwhelming for her, so any new owners should be prepared to help her build confidence gradually and avoid unnecessary journeys while she settles in.

About Naomi

What life with Naomi looks like

Naomi is a young adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

An 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 Naomi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Naomi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Kenilworth handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Naomi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Naomi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Kenilworth 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 Naomi 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 Naomi 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 Dogs Trust Kenilworth early rather than rehoming privately; they know Naomi 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.
