About This Dog for Adoption

Doreen's ideal home

Doreen is a four-year-old Greyhound looking for loving, patient, and compassionate adopters. She is looking for a home where she can live with another dog, a calm, confident medium to large dog. She will need a home without cats or small furries and she has no history of being around livestock. She could share her home with teenage children. She has been housetrained here at the rehoming centre. She is new to home living and will need lots of praise and reassurance to build confidence in a new environment. Time left alone is best built up gradually. She is timid around new people and will possibly need any potential adopters to come and meet her a few times with their dog to build up a bond with her.

Could you be Doreen's perfect match?

We have seen Doreen’s confidence grow gradually in the short amount of time she has spent in our care so far. For her future adopters it will be heartwarming and rewarding to see her come around and her personality shine through. Doreen requires a hands-off approach initially, she has a shy, timid nature, and she comes over and initiates a fuss at her own pace. Doreen is social with other dogs; she is polite and gentle. She has been sharing her space with another Greyhound and enjoys going for walks and meeting other dogs. As an exracing Greyhound she has learnt to wear her muzzle as a precautionary measure to keep the local wildlife safe. She hasn’t yet shown any interest in playing with toys. She enjoys her food and treats.

Greyhound Buying Checklist

We highly recommend every buyer reads through the below advice when purchasing or rehoming a Greyhound.

View the animal in the place it was born and raised - check for genuine home environments if buying privately, or the quality of the breeders set-up if applicable.
If viewing a puppy under 8 weeks, by law they MUST be seen with their mum.
Make sure the animal's old enough to be rehomed. 8 weeks should be the earliest a puppy can be rehomed.
By law, all dogs MUST be microchipped
Review and verify any documents, such as KC registration paperwork where applicable

Avoid Potential Scams

There are a number of red flags to look out for when purchasing a new puppy:

Seller demands a deposit without allowing you to see the dog first - never send any money before meeting the animal in person
Seller is reluctant to send you additional photos or videos
Seller offers to deliver the dog/puppy
Seller asks to meet in a mutual location
Seller uses fake or stolen photos from the internet. Always carry out a "Google image search".
Seller asks to immediately switch to communication off the Greyhound Owners website
Seller uses a different phone number to the one listed on the website - especially if that phone number is in one of the advert images

Although we have a number of automated systems in place to prevent scam and fraudulant adverts, these can never be 100% accurate and its important to use caution when buying online. We do not accept any responsibility for transactions between our users, especially when our safe buying advice is not followed.
