Perry

Male · Adult · 4 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled We have no knowledge of how Perry is when left home alone as he was a stray. Perry will need a settling in period in his new environment, before building up any time alone from scratch. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Perry has current medical conditions, namely an ear infection, required dental and being underweight, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? Yes, conditionally - Securely housed and kept completely separately. Additional information Perry isn’t always a social butterfly, but he seeks out the company of people more than dogs. Generally, Perry is quite independent and will let you know when he wants to have a fuss by becoming a wiggly boy and nestling in to you. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Perry came in as a stray, therefore we do not know how he has been around children. Due to this any children in his new home need to be aged 8 years plus. What type of environment would suit me? Perry will need his own secure, private garden where he can explore and bring out his playful side. Having this will also aid his ongoing training. About Perry Perry – or Perry the Platypus, as he’s professionally known! This sweet Lurcher is looking for his forever home. Perry loves being around people and getting plenty of fuss and attention — he’s a real sweetheart who just wants to be loved. We don’t know how much experience Perry has had of home life, but we do know one thing for sure: he deserves the chance to find out what having a loving, secure home of his own is all about. If you’re a Phineas and Ferb fan, you might recognise where his name comes from! And while our Perry may not be a secret agent in disguise, he’s certainly on an important mission of his own — finding his forever family.

About Perry

What life with Perry looks like

Perry is a small adult dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity 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" — 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 Perry, answered.

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