Dogs for Adoption

** SPECIAL APPEAL **

Buzz is a handsome, shy, adorable 3.5yr old greyhound lad.

When Buzz first came to us he was terrified and traumatised but slowly came round. He is getting braver by the day but is still quite jumpy and very scared of sudden movements or noise. Buzz would suit a home with a more confident hound and in a rural/semi-rural location.

Buzz has gentle and 'puppy' like mannerisms, everything is very curious to him and he looks to you for reassurance, he learns to trust quickly and once he does he trusts you forever. He needs an understanding and experienced owner. He would suit a home with much older children and in a quiet location as he has issues with small dogs and animals.

** SPECIAL APPEAL **

Scoots is a lovely 12yr old, elderly gentleman who was given up by his owners due to their declining health.

He needs a home where he can just have an easy life and be respected as a lovely old man who is just set in his ways. Because of his age we would not home him with children. He needs a loving owner who will love him for who he is.

** SPECIAL APPEAL **

Minty is a stunning 2year old greyhound lad, he gets very excited by human company and is very affectionate, you would need time and patience to teach him to be a wee bit calmer, but he is responding well and quickly to that in his foster home that he is sharing with a female greyhound.

He has met alot of small dogs and is fine with them, although his greetings to all dogs is a bit excitable but he does respond to a firm voice. He can walk well on the lead if you are firm and consistent with the training, he could easily live with an active family with older children and another bossy female dog, who will put him in his place if he plays too rough. Minty is still quite 'puppy like' in alot of his behaviour, the world is all so new and exciting to him, but with an experienced owner this could easily be worked on and calmed down. He is neutered and vaccinated. Minty is not catsafe.

CLEO

Cleo has just newly arrived at the kennels. She is a sweet natured 2yr old smallish greyhound girl.

She is a very, sweet and still quite puppyish in her ways.

She walks great on the lead but will need an experienced sighthound owner as she has never seen the outside world or other shaped dogs, so she is not small dogsafe or catsafe.

She is quite a confident girl with other hounds so would need to be in a home with a dominent male hound, she would be great with older kids.

Duke

Duke is approx 2yrs old. He is a very clever lurcher (lab/hound). He mixes well with other dogs of all shapes and sizes and enjoys playing chase.

Duke is currently living in a foster home with other dogs and a CAT so he is cat safe.

He has been spotless in his foster home from the minute he arrived and will let you know if he needs out.

He loves his chew toys. He would suit an active house with older children and people who will play games with him and further his training. He can be quite puppyish and still full of fun and carry on.He can open doors and some drawers. He jumps up when excited but will sit down when told.

He would make a fantastic, fun loving, family pet.

Elsie

Elsie is a black, 8yr old mature greyhound lady. She settled into a foster home very quickly with other male/female hounds.

She is very affectionate and loves her walks, she walks well on the lead.

Elsie would thrive on the company of another male hound who doesn't mind a bossy lady but she doesn't bully. She would also be good with a family with older children, just due to her age. She is not safe with smaller dogs or cats and would therefore require an experienced sighthound owner.

Elsie would make a great pet and she just gazes at you with those big brown eyes. She's had a hard life but is in good health regardless.

Jackson

Jackson is a lovely, older 9yr old greyhound lad who has just newly arrived, he is adapting quickly to kennel life and is a happy chappy.

He is going to a foster home soon so watch this space for a full assessment.

He walks great on a lead and is so affectionate.

Jacob

Jacob is a 7yr old greyhound lad who has just newly arrived at the kennels.

He is still quite dazed and shell shocked but is slowly trying to relax.

He will need a special, experienced owner who has had sighthounds before that have displayed agrophobia.

He has still to be fully assessed so watch this space.

Luca

A stunning, 3yr old, Blue & white greyhound lad. He is clean in his kennel, brilliant on a lead and a real happy-go-lucky lad. He is OK with with smaller dogs and happily walks beside them on a lead, but if they are running around he does react to them, so caution will be required.

Luca's tail just never stops wagging, he is the happiest dog on the planet and is busy taking in everything around him. He is a loveable, goofy, puppylike lad with bags of personality.

A home with no young children would be best as he can be a wee bit bouncy at first, he could easily share his home with another friendly dog as well. He is not catsafe and gets really excited when he sees them outside.

Lucy

A 4yr old, blue greyhound girl. She has settled in quickly with the other dogs in her foster home.

She likes a quiet life and is happy with other laid back hounds who are not too bouncy.

She has been spotless in the house and is great with the children who are 8yrs+. She likes her own sleeping space so we would advise older kids.

She walks brilliant on a lead, caution will be required around smaller dogs, especially if they are bouncy and running around but she is easily managed on the lead when she sees them.

Lucy can be quite playful, so another medium sized dog for a playpal would be great for her. She is not catsafe. Lucy is vaccinated and soon to be spayed.

Mambo

Mambo is a 5yr old, shy greyhound lad. He hasn't been used to life outside kennels but is adjusting well in his foster home that he shares with a collie sized female dog.

He has a very gentle nature and is also easily spooked with loud noises.

He walks well on the lead and would make a great family pet.

Misty

Misty is a 4yr old, blue greyhound girl. She is with her owners at the moment who are rehoming her due to ill-health. She has been in a home for 2years now living with another male greyhound.

Misty is a gentle, affectionate girl, great on a lead, spotless in the house. She would suit living with a home who also maybe has a male greyhound who likes bossy females.

Misty is great with small dogs when outside but is not catsafe.

She can be excitable sometimes so older children would be more suitable.

Pete

Peter is a lovely 3yr old greyhound. He has just arrived into foster kennels but is doing well. He has bad muzzle scarring and is underweight.

He walks well on a lead outside, seems happy to ignore other dogs he meets and is quite a happy-go-lucky lad.

He has still to be fully assessed so watch this space.

Poppy

Poppy has just newly arrived into a foster home where she has settled with the other hounds.

She is a very loving and gentle natured girl and would make a great companion. She is not small dogsafe so an experienced greyhound owner woulod suit her best.

Summer

A 4yr old black greyhound girl currently living in a foster home with other hounds.

Summer is timid to start with but soon learns to trust humans quickly.

A home with another hound would suit her as it would help her feel more relaxed and would encourage her to have more confidence.

She is great on the lead and spotless in her foster home.

Caution would be needed around smaller dogs to start with, she is not catsafe.

She would make a brilliant family pet and is superb with the kids in the foster home of 8yrs+ old,
