Yara

Mixed Breed · Female

Gentle Yara is a medium size, ll year old Lurcher lady who loves her home comforts and being close to people. She is living in a foster home provided by Dogs Trust Merseyside and looking forward to a loving, forever home soon. Yara is a calm and mature lady, some might say she's too laid back! Her foster parents have said she is very easy to care for and loves her home comforts and, at her age, she's certainly entitled to them. She doesn't seek out affection but she's happy to be fussed over and told what a beautiful lady she is. Yara has a kind soul and takes her treats ever so gently (when she's not horizontal!) and just likes to chill next to people. That said, she has no shame about rummaging in the bin if she gets the chance with that long snout of hers, but if things are kept out of her way, she's an angel at home. Yara can live with children of upper primary age but no other pets, although she can walk with calm dogs. She is house-trained and has been good when left alone. Yara has some age related hip pain and requires medication daily. Yara enjoys her walks and ignores most of the animals she encounters and would probably be happy to have some walking pals that aren't overly interested in sticking their face in hers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you would like a lovely companion like Yara in your home, please contact Dogs Trust Merseyside as follows: Apply: via their website – click here or Ext.1068 (Reception) – Monday-Friday Please mention you saw Yara on the Oldies Club website.

About Yara

What life with Yara looks like

Yara is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club 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 Yara, answered.

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