Adopt Pippa

Greyhound · Female · Adult · 4 years

Pippa🌸 Meet Pippa, our little Pip star who is quietly stealing hearts one cuddle at a time. She is a gentle soul who is truly exceptional and such a special companion to have by your side. This beautiful girl has the biggest heart and endless love to give, and she has already made us all feel incredibly lucky to have gained her love and companionship, which definitely is not given out to just anyone.One look at her sweet face and those soft puppy dog eyes and you will completely understand why she is impossible to resist. She really is softly pip-ping her way into every heart here at Clarks Farm.When you first meet Pippa, you may notice she is quite unsure and reserved, but she has already come such a long way in the short time she has been with us. She can be timid at first and does not always show her full personality straight away, but honestly, there is something so incredibly special about watching her confidence slowly bloom. As trust begins to build, her beautiful personality starts shining through little by little.She begins as this quiet, unsure girl and then suddenly starts showing glimpses of her cheeky, loving, and slightly sassy side. The world can feel a bit big and scary for Pippa at times, and she simply needs time, patience, love, and reassurance to feel safe enough to show her true colours. Watching her grow from the overwhelmed little girl she was when she first arrived into the brighter, happier, and more confident little lady she is becoming has honestly been one of the loveliest things to witness.She has built such strong and meaningful bonds with us already, and every single day she grows a little braver, a little cheekier, and a little more confident. I genuinely cannot put into words how much I adore this girl and how proud I am of the progress she has made. From the frightened girl who was unsure when I put her collars on, to the girl who now greets me each morning with tail wags, excitement, and her little over-the-top personality shining through, it really is something so special.Her forever family are going to experience so many beautiful first moments with her, and they truly have no idea how lucky they are going to be to watch her confidence continue to grow and flourish. In the right home, surrounded by kind, patient, and understanding humans, we know Pippa will continue to blossom into the confident and happy girl we already know is tucked away inside her. She really is going to pip everyone else to the post when it comes to being the perfect companion.When meeting new people, Pippa can understandably find things overwhelming at first, and I really want to be honest about that so nobody is surprised. The Pippa you first meet is not the real Pippa straight away. She needs reassurance, patience, and kindness to feel safe enough to let her true personality shine. But once she trusts you, honestly, she turns into a little diva in the best and funniest way possible.She is playful, cheeky, and absolutely full of sass. She does the sweetest joyful zoomies and has this adorable little habit of hopping from one foot to the other when she is excited, almost like she cannot quite contain all her happiness. Watching her let go and simply enjoy herself fills all of us with so much pride and happiness. She has that classic Pippa sparkle, full of character, confidence, and cheeky charm once she feels secure, and honestly, it is impossible not to completely fall for her.Pippa is a true people lover with her chosen few and forms incredibly deep and meaningful bonds with the people she trusts. Once you are part of her little inner circle, she is always ready to share cuddles, affection, and all the love she keeps tucked inside that gentle heart of hers.Calm, caring, and simply lovely, every moment spent with her feels peaceful and comforting, like a little quiet escape from the noise of the world. She is happy to go with the flow and patiently waits her turn without ever making a fuss. Her kind and gentle spirit shines through in absolutely everything she does, bringing comfort, calm, and warmth to everyone lucky enough to know her.Hidden beneath that soft and gentle exterior is a playful spark and a cheeky streak that keeps life fun and interesting. Every single day a little more of her quirky personality appears, from her proud little grins to her playful bursts of energy whenever she realises she has done something clever. She may be shy at first, but she is mighty in personality, and once she gives her heart to someone, that love only grows stronger and deeper with time.She is the most beautiful blend of sweetness, spirit, and sass, all wrapped up in one stunning little greyhound. Seeing how far Pippa has already come fills us with so much pride, and we know that in her forever home she will continue to grow in confidence and shine brighter every single day.Whoever welcomes this beautiful girl home will not only gain a loyal best friend, but also one of the most rewarding bonds they could ever imagine. Pippa is the sort of dog who quietly changes your world without even trying.Her love feels soft, safe, and incredibly special, and once she trusts you with her heart, it is a bond that will stay with you forever. She truly is a little piece of magic, and we know her perfect people are out there ready to let this sweet girl finally pip her way into the happy ending she deserves.Living with Pippa would be a gentle, slow, and deeply rewarding journey, the kind that reminds you just how special it is to earn a dog’s trust and watch them truly blossom into themselves. She is the sort of girl who would thrive in a calm, understanding home where patience is given freely and love is never rushed. Pippa has this beautiful way of making you feel chosen once you are part of her world, and honestly, that quiet devotion feels incredibly precious. She is not a dog who demands attention loudly, but instead offers connection in the softest and most meaningful ways through gentle glances, careful cuddles, and those tiny peaceful moments where she simply wants to be near you.Whoever gives her the time, reassurance, and safety she needs will be rewarded with a bond that feels unbelievably deep and special, because loving Pippa is not loud or fast. It is steady, sincere, and completely full of heart, and that kind of love stays with you forever. She really is the sort of girl who slowly pip-pips her way into your heart until one day you realise you could never imagine life without her.Pippa has settled into life here like the brave little girl she is and is already feeling comfortable and safe with all of us. Watching her confidence grow has honestly been one of the loveliest things. She has started to show more and more of her playful, cheeky personality every single day, and I truly think this has been made easier thanks to her wonderful kennel mate Marley, who has completely become her little lifeline. Marley has given Pippa something we humans simply cannot, and he has helped her in more ways than he could ever know.When she is with Marley, she suddenly feels brave enough to take on the world, and seeing her confidence bloom beside him has been incredibly emotional and rewarding. Watching this once timid little girl become brighter, cheekier, and more comfortable has been such a privilege, and we just know she is going to make somebody feel like they have found the greatest love imaginable.With her gentle heart, calm energy, and deeply loving soul, Pippa is more than ready to find her forever sofa, curl up beside her people, and snooze the days away like the princess she truly is. She is such a good girl with a heart of pure gold, and in the right home she will continue growing into the confident and beautiful little star she was always meant to be.Once she feels comfortable, Pippa is a wonderfully social girl who genuinely enjoys the company of both humans and her fellow greyhounds. She has shared her kennel with Marley from the very beginning a

About Pippa

What life with Pippa looks like

Pippa is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Clarks Farm Greyhound Rescue in United Kingdom.

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 Pippa, answered.

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