Ophelia

Greyhound · Female · Adult · 6 years

Is Ophelia right for you? Ophelia is a calm, friendly, and loyal girl who loves people and really enjoys a good fuss. She thrives on attention and is happiest snuggled up on the sofa with her favorite people. She enjoys going out for walks, walks nicely on the lead, and is always up for an outing. She loves her food and treats, which makes spending time with her even more rewarding, and she has a soft spot for teddies and squeaky toys. Ophelia’s love of comfort, and affectionate personality make her a truly lovely companion who is ready to bring warmth, loyalty, and lots of cuddles to her forever home. Are you right for Ophelia? Ophelia is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy companionship, gentle adventures, and plenty of affection. She would suit a family or individual who enjoys getting out for walks and trips, but who also values calm, cosy time at home. Ophelia is happy travelling in the car and can be left for up to six hours once settled, making her a great fit for many lifestyles. She could live with sensible secondary school aged children, who understand when a dog wants cuddles and when she wants to relax. If you’re someone who enjoys building a close bond with a loyal, affectionate dog, Ophelia could be the perfect addition to your home.

About Ophelia

What life with Ophelia looks like

Ophelia is a adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 Ophelia, answered.

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