Sandy

Lurcher · Male

Could you be my perfect match? Hello! My name is I can live with Dogs Cats Children ​ MY story Sandy was sadly dumped and found himself in a UK pound. He had run out of time and was due to be euthanised to make space for more strays. So we agreed to take him in. He had some sores over his back and with flea treatments and medicated baths this has helped alot to start healing this. He has alot of scars on him so we believe he may have been used for coursing and simply wasn't very good at it so got abandoned. He is a lovely chap always over the moon to see anyone and go for his walks. He walks lovely and calm on the lead. He adores his toys, especially a big football! Sandy hasn't a bad bone in him and is just keen to play and have lots of loves! MY PERFECT HOME Sandy cannot live with cats as we do not think he will get along with them. He is good with the other dogs he has met so far and never had any issues at all from him. Children 8 plus as he can be a bit bouncy! He will need a secure 6ft fenced garden with no escape routes. Sandy may not have ever lived in a home so someone patient and understanding that he has been in kennels a while and may not be fully house trained. He will be neutered but we would rather do this in a home environment not in kennels, and we will cover the cost of this. As with all our dogs he is flea, wormed, vaccinated and chipped. Sandy is simply a lovely chap and he will make a wonderful companion for his forever family. Currently based in Deal, Kent, fill in an application form to come and meet this handsome hound! OUR ADOPTION PROCESS 1 Fill in application form Please fill in the form as honestly as possible. Our team will read the application and make sure it is the right match for the dog being applied for. 2 We will arrange a home check If you and the dogs seem a good fit we will call you to discuss further, arrange to meet the dog and arrange a physical home check at your home. 3 Matched with your dog Once we have agreed together that this is the right dog for you we will arrange for your dog to come to you. Depending whether this is via kennels or foster homes it may vary. 4 Ongoing Support We love to keep in touch with everyone and hope you will reach out if you have any concerns or questions. We work with a number of local trainers and behaviourists too who can provide support.

About Sandy

What life with Sandy looks like

Sandy is a medium-sized adult lurcher dog waiting at Angels 4 Dogs Rescue 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 Sandy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sandy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Angels 4 Dogs Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sandy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sandy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Angels 4 Dogs Rescue 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 Sandy 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 Sandy 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 Angels 4 Dogs Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sandy 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.
