Raphael

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 4 years

Raphael came into our care after being found as a stray, but we do know he used to be a racer as he has ear tattoos. We don’t know if he’s ever experienced home life, so his new family might need to introduce him to some of the basics such as car travel. He does try to be housetrained and loves his food so training shouldn’t take long. He's not sure what to do with toys just yet, but he shows some interest so a love of play might well develop. Raphael is a 4yr Greyhound who can live with children of secondary school age. He would like to be the only pet in his home but can have calm doggy walking friends. Raphael is on pain medication due to arthritis.

About Raphael

What life with Raphael looks like

Raphael is an adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Evesham in Evesham.

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 Raphael, answered.

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