Tango

Greyhound · Female · Senior · 10 years

Tango is a lovely girl with a fun, inquisitive nature and a real zest for life. She enjoys exploring her surroundings, taking in all the sights and smells, and is always ready to see what the day has in store. Friendly and confident on the lead, she enjoys her walks and is happy to meet new people along the way. Tango shares a very special bond with her best friend, Snail. The pair are rarely far from one another and take great comfort in each other's company. While Snail tends to be the more thoughtful of the two, Tango brings plenty of enthusiasm and curiosity, making them a wonderful match. Because of their close friendship, they are looking for a home together. This lovely duo would love a home where they can enjoy plenty of walks, cosy naps, and time spent with their people. A secure garden would be a great bonus for stretching their legs, but most of all they are looking for a family who will welcome them as part of the household. If you're looking for two gentle companions who will bring plenty of character, affection, and greyhound charm into your life, Tango and Snail could be the perfect pair.

About Tango

What life with Tango looks like

Tango is a senior greyhound dog waiting at Hector in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Tango, answered.

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