Robbie

Lurcher · Male · Young · 3 years

Robbie is a very excitable and giddy boy who loves everyone he meets. He can get excited and jump up for a fuss when you go into his kennel. His cheeky personality is coming out each day as he is getting more and more confident. Robbie loves having off lead time in the compound where he can zoom around, he would be best suited to a home with an enclosed garden so he can spend lots of time playing. Robbie came in as a stray so we don’t have any history on him, therefore he could possibly have never lived in a home before. We feel that some experience with dogs would be beneficial for Robbie. Robbie can be rehomed with children who are 16 + due to his bouncy nature – Subject to a successful meet. Robbie loves to greet other dogs so could potentially be rehomed with another dog, who also has high energy levels and would want to play – Subject to a successful meet.

About Robbie

What life with Robbie looks like

Robbie is a large young adult lurcher dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Cheshire) in Warrington.

An young 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 Robbie, answered.

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