Will

Whippet · Male · Puppy · 18 months

Will is a sensitive soul who can find change and upheaval a little overwhelming. Moving into a new home will be a big adjustment for him, and he will need adopters who understand that he may take some time to settle, decompress, and find his feet. Once he feels safe and secure, his true personality begins to shine, and the bond he forms with his people is incredibly special. People are Will's absolute favourite thing in the world. He thrives on affection and companionship and would love a family who can shower him with the love and attention he craves. Because of his friendly and loving nature, Will could happily live with sensible children aged 12 years and over who will enjoy spending time with him and making him part of the family. When it comes to other dogs, Will enjoys canine company but can sometimes be a little full-on in his play style. He's a vocal, boisterous lad who likes to have fun, and not every dog appreciates his enthusiasm! For this reason, he would be best suited to living with a younger, playful dog who can match his energy levels and enjoy a good romp around with him. With the right doggy friend, Will is a fantastic companion and loves having a playmate to share his adventures with. For all his playful energy, Will's needs are actually very simple. At the end of the day, what he wants most is a comfy sofa to curl up on, people to love, and a place where he finally belongs. After finding himself back in rescue through no fault of his own, Will deserves a family who will give him the time, patience, and commitment he needs to settle in and flourish. Could you be the one to give Will the happy ending he's been waiting for?

About Will

What life with Will looks like

Will is a medium-sized puppy/kitten whippet dog waiting at RSPCA Danaher Animal Home in Braintree.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Will, answered.

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