Reggie

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 5 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs some support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled Reggie will need his home alone training started from the beginning but has the potential to do a few hours. He has been calm in kennel and loves a large bed to lounge around in. Do I have any medical conditions? None Reggie has a historic medical concern, namely diarrhea that has resolved, it will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome this pet and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical concern, be that historic or ongoing, is discussed with your own vet prior to any book out appointment. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Reggie has been comfortable walking with polite, calmer dogs but he can find overenthusiastic dogs overwhelming. Reggie should continue to wear a muzzle out of the home due to his racing history. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Reggie can live with children aged 8+. He is a sweet boy who enjoys interactions with people, he will lap up all the attention he can have! Reggie will lean into your legs for affection and gets excited when seeing people he loves! What type of environment would suit me? Reggie will need a home with his own, secure private garden where he can zoom around and stretch those legs! Reggie loves zooming around in our off lead areas and he’s very speedy! Reggie generally walks nicely on the lead with his harness next to you. About Reggie Reggie is a wonderful ex-racing Greyhound who is now looking for his perfect retirement home, where he can put his paws up and enjoy the quieter side of life. Reggie has never lived in a home before, so everything about retirement life will be new to him. He will need understanding owners who are happy to give him the time he needs to settle in, learn new routines and discover all the joys of home life at his own pace. He loves a leisurely stroll and will happily walk for as long as you do, but once he’s home, his favourite thing is finding the comfiest spot and settling down for a well-earned rest. Reggie has a wonderfully affectionate nature and loves spending time with his people. He would choose people over dogs any day. If you’re looking for a loving companion, Reggie will be ready and waiting.

About Reggie

What life with Reggie looks like

Reggie is a large adult greyhound 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. 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. Woodgreen Pets Charity 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 — 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 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 Woodgreen Pets Charity 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.
