Adopt Paradise

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 7 years

Meet this handsome guy, Paradise! Don’t let his age fool you he is still a very active and giddy boy. He absolutely loves a good zoomie in our secure compound and gets so excited when he’s allowed off lead! We keep him on his lead when not secure. Due to his older age he also loves to settle down on his comfy bed and snooze the afternoon away! He loves to be around people and will always give a friendly hello when you see him! This gorgeous boy needs a comfy sofa to call his own and will reward you with lots of affection and loyalty. He really is a sweet boy and walks lovely on the lead. Paradise has interacted well with dogs whilst in our care, especially other greyhounds, so could potentially live with another dog in the home – subject to a successful meet. We do also think he could live with children who are 12 years and older, again subject to a successful meet with him. He cannot live with any small animals such as cats or rabbits!

About Paradise

What life with Paradise looks like

Paradise is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) in Manchester.

An 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 Paradise, answered.

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