"I'd love to rehome a greyhound, but..."
Lately, we’ve seen many wonderful dog lovers say they hesitate to reach out because they are worried they didn't meet the "perfect" criteria. We want to clear the air: We don't look for flawless checklists. We look for loving homes where our dogs will thrive!
If you've been holding back, here is the truth about our hounds and how we work:
🏡 "I don't have a massive garden" - Many greyhounds are ultimate couch potatoes. A couple of short, 20 minute walks a day to do their business and have a sniff around and they are perfectly content to sleep the rest of the day away. Many live happily in flats and houses with small courtyards. However, if you are looking for a more active hound to go on hikes, have fun on an agility course or win some rosettes at a dog show, we can also match you up with your perfect companion!
💼 "I work full-time." - While they love company, many retired racers adapt beautifully to a routine and are incredibly independent. If you have a plan for a midday dog walker or a lunch break visit, we are happy to help find you a suitable hound (or 2!)
🤔 "I’ve never owned a dog before" - Greyhounds are frequently recommended as fantastic first-time dogs because they are naturally gentle, quiet, and don't require hours of intense training or grooming. Many Greyhound owners will tell you that once you open your heart to a Grey, you'll never be without one again ♥️
🐱 "I have a cat (or a small dog), so I know I can't have one." - While some greyhounds have a high chase instinct, many of them are cat tolerant or can live happily with smaller dog breeds. We thoroughly test our dogs with cats, small breeds and children and are completely transparent with the results!
Our kennels currently have some absolute superstars waiting for their sofa. Every dog is unique, and we match the dog to your specific lifestyle - not a rigid set of rules.
If you’ve been on the fence, please don’t let a checklist stop you. Drop us a direct message or get in contact through our website!
