Naomi

Greyhound · Female · Adult · 4 years

Noami is a beautiful girl, who isn't quite as confident as she seems. She loves being with her favourite people and can become extremely distressed when being left on her own. For this reason she must have someone who can be home with her all of the time. Her new family will need to be committed to helping her feel more at ease. 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 home where she can settle in at her own pace. She’s an affectionate and sensitive girl who thrives in a calm environment. She could live with upper secondary age children who can understand her worries and give her any space she might need. Naomi cannot do stairs and would do best in a home where it isn't required for her to go up/down them. Naomi has been making lots of doggy friends here at the centre and loves her social walkies, so could live with another similar sized dog in her new home following a meeting here at the centre, which may really benefit her and help her grow in confidence. 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 an adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

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 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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.
