REGGIE

Greyhound · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

REGGIE D.O.B. 5.1.20 No cats No small dogs Now 6 years old, REGGIE arrived with us in April 2024. REGGIE is a very loving dog and we’ve found him to be a very friendly and affectionate boy who loves fuss and his toys in equal measure. He loves to meet any visitors to kennels and laps up the attention - and he certainly has a well established fan club amongst the volunteers at kennels! As well as his daily walks he has enjoyed days out to Rivington and he recently had a sleepover with Lisa, one of our volunteers. We’re told he behaved impeccably settling to sleep with no fuss at all and was clean in the house throughout his stay. In fact Lisa said he had been an ‘absolute delight’ to have in the home. The only thing that lets Reggie down is his reactivity towards other breeds of dog. Having said that his reactivity can be selective and his behaviour has improved thanks to work undertaken by our walking volunteers. We think REGGIE would be happy to live as an only dog as he would love nothing more than having all the humans to himself and would like someone around for some part of the day. We're looking for adopters with some experience of owning a large dog, not necessarily a greyhound, for him. 📍Only pet in the household 📍Someone around during the day 📍Older children 13+

About REGGIE

What life with REGGIE looks like

REGGIE is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Makants Greyhound Rescue NW 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 REGGIE, answered.

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