Zucchini

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

IDEAL HOME: a home with a garden LIVING WITH CHILDREN: 10 years plus LIVING WITH DOGS: I could potentially live with another sighthound/med-large breed dog LIVING WITH CATS: I’ve never lived with cats Zucchini is a beautiful 4-year-old Greyhound looking for her forever home, and what a cracker she is just like Crouton! Zucchini is a beautiful 4-year-old Greyhound looking for her forever home. She is a fun-loving, affectionate girl who has a wonderful zest for life. Since arriving in our care, Zucchini has been an absolute pleasure to look after and has settled in brilliantly. She loves meeting new people and is always so excited to see anyone coming to visit—especially if it's time for a walk! Her happy, giddy personality is guaranteed to make you smile. Zucchini has a fantastic temperament and has thoroughly enjoyed meeting the other dogs at the rescue. She is very keen to interact with them and has lovely social skills, making her a joy to walk and spend time with. We feel she could happily live with another well-socialised medium or large dog, subject to successful introductions. Like many former racing Greyhounds, Zucchini enjoys a good sprint but is equally happy relaxing afterwards. She will benefit from two daily walks of around 20–30 minutes, along with opportunities to stretch her legs in a safe, secure enclosed area. As an ex-racing Greyhound, Zucchini is likely to have a natural prey drive and should always remain on a lead unless in a fully enclosed, secure space. We would not recommend a home with cats or other small furry pets. Life in a family home will be a new experience for Zucchini, so her new owners should be prepared to give her time to adjust to everyday household sights and sounds. With patience, consistency, and plenty of reassurance, we're confident she will settle into home life beautifully. Greyhounds have very fine coats, thin skin, and very little body fat, making them more sensitive to cold weather and hard surfaces. Zucchini will appreciate a cosy bed to curl up on and a warm coat during the colder months. Interested in adopting Zucchini? Call or contact us.

About Zucchini

What life with Zucchini looks like

Zucchini is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at SARA Ann Prosser Foundation in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Zucchini, answered.

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