Saffy

Lurcher · Female · Young · 1 year

We don’t have too much previous history on Saffy, but from what we have seen from her since being in foster, she is the sweetest girl who just wants to be around her people and spend her time snoozing on the sofa and going out on adventures. She really is a lovely girl with so much love to give. She’s affectionate, playful and full of character, and we just want to find her a home where she’ll be loved, included and given the time and patience she needs. She is only a young girl, so she just needs a home that is going to carry on with her training and get her out socialising and seeing the world. Saffy is a lovely 1 year old scruffy Lurcher with such a sweet personality. She’s an affectionate, cuddly girl who loves nothing more than getting comfy on the sofa with you. She’s a typical young girl, she loves playing with her toys, going for walks and exploring new places. She’s a fun girl and always happy to be involved in whatever you’re doing. Because she's tall and bouncy girl and gets very excited, she would best suit a home with confident secondary-school aged children. Saffy is currently undersocialised, which means she can get vocal when she spots other dogs out and about. So, having controlled gentle introductions with calm dogs would benefit Saffy to build up her confidence. She does struggle being left alone and can be vocal and may have toileting accidents. This will need time and patience from her new owners to work through this. And for this reason, she needs a home where someone is around throughout the day for company. Any time spent alone would need to be built up very slowly and only once she is feeling settled and secure in her new home.

About Saffy

What life with Saffy looks like

Saffy is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan.

An young 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 Saffy, answered.

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