About This Dog for Adoption

Paddy's ideal home

If you have space in your home (and on your sofa!) for a big-hearted Greyhound who is ready to swap racetracks for relaxing with his favourite people, then Paddy might just be your new best friend.

At 3-and-a-half years old, Paddy is still learning all about life beyond the racing world, he is taking it all in his long-legged stride. He is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves a good fuss—he will happily and quietly appear next to you just to be near and enjoy a cuddle. What he would love most is a secure garden of his own, where he can have his daily zoomies, stretch those legs, and then flop down for a well-earned nap.

He is friendly with visitors, happy to meet people and could live with children aged 5 and up who are kind and respectful. He is also dog-social and loves hanging out with his sighthound pals, though he would be just as content as the only dog in the home. Due to his racing background, he must be kept on lead and muzzled in public, and would likely chase anything small and furry if given the chance!

Could you be Paddy's perfect match?

Paddy is looking for a home that can help him gently learn the ropes of pet life. He will need patience with his housetraining, and a bit of support with things like recall and learning basic cues, but he is clever and eager to please.

He is curious and calm in new places, loves to explore with his nose, and has been great at the vets and with handling. He travels well in the car, hops straight in, and settles beautifully. While not hugely food-motivated yet, he has enjoyed a licki mat and takes treats gently (even if he does occasionally spit them out!). Paddy enjoys a brush, and while he is not yet sure what to do with toys, he has shown a flicker of interest in squeaky stuffed toys.

This lovely lad will thrive in a kind, calm home that gives him time to settle and feel safe. Once he does, you will get to see the best of both worlds—a playful, zoomy goofball outside and a total cuddlebug indoors.

If you can offer Paddy the soft landings he deserves, he will repay you with love, loyalty, and that classic Greyhound lean.

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.
