Hounds

HARLOW IS NOT BEING HOMED BY TRAILHOUND WELFARE. INFO BELOW FROM HER CURRENT OWNERS:

Meet Harlow who is a 2 year old beagle mix (DOB 14/05/2024). She is a petite girl weighing just 12kg. Harlow was abandoned at a kill shelter in Northern Ireland when she was just five months old. Thankfully, she was taken in by a wonderful rescue and cared for by an amazing foster family. Sadly, with so many dogs needing homes, she waited quite a long time before finding a home.

When Harlow was 11 months old, we travelled to Northern Ireland to bring her home to Devon. Her puppy records say she’s a Beagle, but we think she’s definitely a Beagle x Hound mix, with her long hound legs, incredible sprint speed and impressive jumping ability!

Harlow is such a loving girl. She absolutely adores people and other dogs, loves snuggling up with her humans and makes friends everywhere she goes. She walks beautifully on her figure of eight lead and enjoys coffee shop trips for a pup cup and a good sniff around the city. Her recall isn’t fully there yet, but she’s doing brilliantly on a long line and responds especially well to the whistle, mainly because she knows Primula cheese is involved! She regularly enjoys playdates with her Beagle friends, especially in secure fields where she can really run and stretch her legs.

We have three children, and Harlow is wonderful with them. Nothing makes her happier than having all her humans home together and she gives the best welcomes when the kids come back from school. She absolutely loves toys, especially tough chew toys and will happily entertain herself for hours. Harlow loves to RUN  and could be a great partner for someone to do Canicross or park runs.

Harlow is:• Fully vaccinated• Neutered• Microchipped• Up to date with flea and worm treatment• Crate trained• Sleeps through the night

Making this decision has been heartbreaking, but we have to do what’s best for all of our dogs. We currently have three other Beagles (mum, dad, and puppy), and despite giving it over a year and trying everything we can, the dynamic simply isn’t working. Harlow hasn’t formed a bond with them, and it’s become clear that our busy household is likely too overstimulating for her.

We know she’s capable of beautiful bonds with other dogs, she has a Beagle best friend called Cookie, who she happily snuggles up with and plays alongside. We feel Harlow would thrive as an only dog.

A few important things to note:• She can jump very high, so a secure garden with high fencing is essential• She can be anxious in the car but settles much better when travelling in a crate• She may be vocal when first left alone, but settles quickly with a little classical music

Harlow deserves a loving home where she can truly thrive. This decision has not been made lightly, we just want the very best home for her.

24/05/2026 MURPHY IS ON TRIAL Murphy is a handsome 4-year-old Trailhound bursting with love and personality. He is incredibly affectionate and adores people, he has grown up around a young child. Murphy would suit being an only dog in a rural, active or sporting home with someone who is dog savvy or has rehomed a Trailhound before and can give him the attention and structure he thrives on. A secure garden would be needed. He is very confident around new people and loves to love. He can be very enthusiastic around people and he is very food orientated.

Murphy will be staying with his racing owners in North Cumbria until his perfect home is found. Please email initial enquiries to us at trailhoundwelfare@hotmail.co.uk  If you would like to chat about Murphy then please ring 07824739710

Meet Norman who is 3 years old. He is such a sweet young dog. Lovely Norman has a slight neurological issue which we will discuss with interested people. It does not affect him as a pet. He has never raced but he stayed within his racing owners family as a house pet. Due to changes in circumstances, they feel Norman will be happier in a home that can give him more time.

• Norman is house trained
• Norman is neutered
• Norman is an active boy and needs an active home
• Norman loves to go running so would be a great candidate for Canicross, park runs or general keep fit runners
• Norman is used to living with dogs, children
• Norman does not jump over average sized fencing
• Norman lives in west Cumbria and would need prospective adopters to visit him there

Please email us for more details.

UPDATE November 2024 Lovely Norman went for a few days visit with a family in Cumbria who have another trailhound. The visit went really well and they completely fell in love with Norman, but sadly he did not take to living along with their cat, despite living with 3 cats all his life. So sadly he has gone back to his original home. The people he stayed with absolutely loved having him there and would recommend him to anyone so please get in touch if you would like to meet him. NO CATS though!
