Sakima

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 4 years

Racing Name: Savana Sakima Sakima is a stunning, smaller male greyhound who is lively and full of character. He loves his daily walks, and once the initial excitement has worn off, he walks well on his lead. He's sociable with our other greyhounds, and will happily walk alongside them. He has also shown no reactivity to other breeds that he has met during his time with us. Sakima is a greedy little hound, and eats his daily meals as though he's never been fed! Not surprisingly, he also really likes treats! Sakima is a clever boy and is sadly understimulated in the kennel environment. This has lead to him showing occasional signs of stress and frustration. We would love to find him an active home, with owners who will take the time to do some fun training with him once he's had the chance to settle in. He is extremely well motivated by food, so this should be a pleasure for his new family. He also enjoys his downtime, and is often seen lazing in the sun after his lunch. This affectionate boy likes kisses, cuddles and fuss. Sakima has been placed in 2 homes and sadly returned to us due to difficulty settling. As such, we are seeking an experienced owner for him, who will give him the time and space needed for him to find his feet in his new environment. Behaviourist support will be available to assist in his transition. If you are interested in adopting a greyhound visit the homing enquiries page and complete the form. -DC=@ Related Posts

About Sakima

What life with Sakima looks like

Sakima is a adult greyhound dog waiting at Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary (RGT East Midlands) in United Kingdom.

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 Sakima, answered.

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