Todd

Greyhound · Male · Adult · 5 years

Todd is an amazing lad with a big heart to match his size! This gentle giant loves making new friends and greets them with a happy, waggy tail. He’s a dream to walk on the lead and takes his treats politely, showing off his lovely manners. After a day of making friends and taking in the sights on outings, Todd would love nothing more than a comfy sofa where he can stretch out and enjoy a well-earned snooze. A big, lovable softie who’s sure going to be a delightful addition to the family! Ready to be welcomed into family life is Todd! Todd is looking for a family who’ll be around for most of the day while he settles into home life. He’ll need any alone time building up and house training started. Due to his size, he’d be best suited to a home with older primary school aged children. Todd has shown us that he’s sociable with other dogs, so he may be able to live with another doggy friend.

About Todd

What life with Todd looks like

Todd is an extra-large adult greyhound dog waiting at Dogs Trust Darlington in Sadberge.

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 Todd, answered.

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