Sergio

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 6 years

Sergio is a sweet, quirky boy, full of character and never ceases to bring a smile to his handlers' faces. He is a very affectionate boy and loves to lean up against his favourite people's legs for a scratch and a cuddle. Sergio enjoys making new friends when out and about and quickly has people falling in love with him. Sergio also enjoys meeting dogs and has made lots of walking buddies during his time in the centre. He particularly loves meeting fellow greyhounds for walks around the site as well as exploring new places together. Sergio loves to be around people and his favourite place is being as close to his handlers as physically possible, his other big passion in life is napping. He is frequently seen curled up on one of his comfy beds after a fun activity. Sergio will make a perfect addition to a family who are looking for a bouncy, goofy dog who also appreciates curling up for a cuddle on the sofa at the end of the day. Sergio, a 6-year-old Greyhound, would love adopters who will help him settle into home life. He is an ex-racing greyhound, so for this reason he would not be suitable to be rehomed with any small dogs, cats, small furries or birds. He could live with a well-matched dog that is of a similar size and temperament, pending meets at the centre. Sergio is a super friendly boy who can have visitors and live with secondary-aged children.

About Sergio

What life with Sergio looks like

Sergio is a large adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

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 Sergio, answered.

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