Twig

Saluki · Male · Young · 2 years

Twig was found as a stray so we don't have any history for him. He was taken to the local pound for his 7 days, then brought back out by his finder as nobody had claimed him. But sadly, the resident dog didn't like Twig being in the home, so he has come to us. We've guessed his age to be around 2 years and he has just had his first vaccination. He's booked in for neutering in November and will have his 2nd vaccination on 18/11. He can be a bit nervous with people at first, but once he gets to know you, he's very friendly. I think he's had a bit of a rough time before he was found so he can be a bit wary of new "things" eg has to be helped into a car at first, but once he gets the hang of it, he's OK with it. He's quite underweight at the mo (21kg) but is slowly putting weight on and now he's been wormed, that should help He's about 24 ins tts. I'm going to assume he's NOT cat friendly and would recommend no very young children purely as we don't know how he is with kiddies. Twig is currently in West Yorkshire. If you'd like to offer him a home, please fill in our pre-adoption questionnaire : and we'll do a homecheck with you.

About Twig

What life with Twig looks like

Twig is a young adult saluki dog waiting at Lurcher Link in United Kingdom.

A young 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 Twig, answered.

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