Zeb

Lurcher · Male · Young · 1 year

Zeb is always up for learning something new and loves activities that keep both his body and mind busy. He's a clever chap who thrives on enrichment, especially when it involves searching for tennis balls, a skill he's become quite the expert at! Once he's had his fill of fun and adventure, Zeb is more than happy to come over for a well-earned fuss and a cuddle. He's a quick learner who picks things up in no time, making him a joy to work with and watch grow. Zeb is a fun-loving 1 year-old lad who's at that wonderful age where every day is an adventure. He's looking for an active home that can continue his training and help shape him into an even more wonderful adult dog. Zeb could live with another playful dog and dog-savvy secondary school-aged children. He travels well in the car and would love a family who'll take him along for new experiences. As he's still finding his paws in the world, he'll need very low leaving hours initially, gradually built up as he settles into home life.

About Zeb

What life with Zeb looks like

Zeb is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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.
