Lurcher · Male

Winston This handsome lad is Winston.Winston ( was Alfred ) travelled over to the UK from Romania in Feb of this year.He went to live with a whippet hound & also lives with a cat.Being such a young boy, he will chase that cat., he see’s it as a game. The cat tolerates Winston. So, if he went to a home with a cat, you would need to be experienced with the dog/cat scenario.Winston d.o.b 15.08.25.We have a lovely video of Winston the beach with his brother.He is a happy confident boy.Not yet neutered.Good to be left for 3/4 hours.Excellent recall.27″ttsLoves to have zooms on the beach or a secure field.A garden is a must. An experienced owner, someone who has knowledge of lurchers.Winston’s only downfall is that he can resource guard.We will of course be happy to work with this issue. It can easily be worked with.Winston is still young and has the potential be a super star !Vaccinated.UK Brucella tested.Currently with his owners in Bedfordshire.www.norfolkgreyhoundrescue.co.uk07470 931758 Click here for Adoption Details

About Winston

What life with Winston looks like

Winston is a adult lurcher dog waiting at Norfolk Greyhound Rescue in United Kingdom.

An 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 Winston, answered.

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