Adopt Zeb

Lurcher · Male · Puppy · 8 months

If you’re searching for a loving, affectionate companion with a big personality, Zeb could be the one for you. He’s a sweet-natured boy who adores attention, tasty treats (especially hotdogs!), tennis balls, and being part of family life. Zeb has a wonderful balance of energy and affection—after a busy day of adventures and play, he settles nicely and is more than happy to curl up on the sofa for a snuggle. As a young dog, Zeb is still learning about the world and will need guidance, consistency, and positive training to help him grow into a well-rounded adult. He is eager to please and will make great progress with the right support in place. In return, Zeb will bring endless joy, laughter, and companionship to his forever home. Zeb is a sweet and affectionate soul, bursting with beans and personality. Zeb is looking for an active, committed home that can keep up with his fun-loving, energetic nature. At just 7 months old, he is still a young pup who will need patient owners willing to invest time into his ongoing training and development. He would thrive with an adventurous family who can take him out and about, give him plenty of exercise, and channel his love for play—especially when tennis balls are involved! Enrichment is also important to Zeb, and he enjoys puzzle feeders and activities that keep his clever mind busy. Zeb is very sociable and has mixed well with other dogs at the centre, although his enthusiasm can sometimes get the better of him. He could live with another dog who shares a similar playful style and can match his energy. He could also live with confident, dog-savvy children aged 12+, who understand his bouncy nature. Zeb will need low leaving hours initially, building gradually as he settles into his new home.

About Zeb

What life with Zeb looks like

Zeb is a large puppy/kitten lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 Zeb, answered.

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