Tia

Female · Senior · 9 years

Tia is now ready to find her forever home, she is a 9 year old Pharoah Hound. Tia came to us after her family had a baby and as the baby hit 11 months the situation they stated became untenable. We believe having been in her home since a puppy Tia has been quite spoilt and given huge amounts of attention. She was uncomfortable with the arrival of a new baby and after that we feel she was forced into a situation of isolation. All this has left Tia quite confused, needy and at times vocal. Tia now needs a home with people around a lot of the time to reinvest into settling her. She will not settle immediately as they are a very watchful and often curious breed that do like company. We feel that Tia has spent vast amounts of time potentially crated as she does seek them out for comfort so it may be an option for short period leaves. When alone Tia does settle it’s when you’re around she’s demanding of attention. Tia needs to live with another dog. If one on one it needs to be male she has lived with a male lurcher in her previous home. With a laid back female dog and a steady male to balance things out she could live as dog number 3. Tia is clean, travels well and walks well on the lead. Tia does have a bit of a prey drive and non existent recall so must only be allowed off in safe enclosed spaces. Tia cannot be rehomed with children younger than teenagers and must head into a home with no visiting youngsters. She would love a nice quiet household where she can be the centre of attention. She loves to play with toys and happily flings them around the place. Tia can not be rehomed with cats or small furries. Tia is vaccinated, kc vaccinated, de flead, de wormed, microchipped, spayed and has received a dental. Tia is currently located in Stoke-on-Trent and any family wishing to offer her a home must be willing to travel to visit her with all members of the immediate family. For more information or to offer Tia a home please in the first instance complete the pre adoption questionnaire belowPre Adoption Questionnaire

About Tia

What life with Tia looks like

Tia is a extra-large senior dog waiting at Greyhound Gap 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 Tia, answered.

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