About Tara

Tara was found as a stray wandering about in a village looking for food and water. She had no microchip so it was impossible to know whether anyone was missing her, but any hound mix found in the height of hunting season is generally assumed to have been abandoned, unwanted, or lost. Tara has settled into the shelter really well and she is now looking for her new family.

Tara is around a year old and is a fun-loving, energetic young dog. She is an active girl and loves nothing more than running around in the yard with the other dogs, chasing after them, stealing their toys and rolling around on the ground. She is a joy to watch and embraces each day with such enthusiasm despite living in a shelter. Imagine how much fun she could be in a proper home!

Tara is super friendly and would make a terrible guard dog of any description as she just wants to make friends with everyone she meets. She loves a cuddle, chin scratch, belly rub - you name it! She’s very affectionate and loves being fussed over. She leans right in for a stroke and is very trusting after a very short period of time. She would, without question, make a very loyal companion.

Tara is still a young dog and therefore requires some continued basic training. She is strong and excitable on the lead, and would benefit from learning some simple commands, but she definitely has the capacity to do so as she’s very keen to please and responds well to positive reinforcement. The minute you tell her she’s a good girl her tail wags like she’s about to take off!

Tara would be a great family dog and loves being around children. Due to her energy levels and general zest for life we think she would be best suited to a home with children aged 5+, but she would never mean any harm, she’s just bouncy and young. She hasn’t been tested with cats, but as mentioned she is also great with other dogs. She doesn’t depend on them so could be adopted into a household where she’s the only resident pup, but would equally welcome a similarly playful pal.

Tara would be best suited to an active lifestyle based semi-rurally, with a garden. She has loads of potential as a family dog and would thrive with some continued training and socialisation. We can’t wait to see her get the home she truly deserves.

Tara is currently based in Cyprus and has a clean bill of health. She is ready to travel once she finds her forever home.

Please note, any mention of breed is nothing more than an educated guess based on what we know about the dog, their appearance, behaviour, and common breeds in their country of origin. We can never guarantee breed specifics, nor can we confirm the exact age of our dogs, unless they were born in our care. Age estimations are made by our vets based on the development of the dog, their general health and energy, and assessing their teeth.
