About This Dog for Adoption

Dez's ideal home

If you are after a handsome, calm companion who enjoys his walks and loves a good sniff around the fields, then Dez might be your kind of dog.

At 2 years old, Dez is an ex-racing Greyhound who is now ready to leave the track life behind and find a cosy home to call his own. Dez is quite content to stretch out in his bed, enjoy the peace and quiet, and take the world in at his own pace. He loves getting out and about, especially when there are new places to explore and plenty of interesting smells.

Dez would love a garden where he can have his daily burst of zoomies, then head inside for a well-earned nap on the sofa. He could live with another dog, especially another sighthound like his current kennel-mate Paddy, though it is not essential. He could also live with older children aged 11+ who understand his need for space and are happy to let him come to them in his own time.

Could you be Dez's perfect match?

Dez is looking for a calm home with people who will appreciate his independent streak. He is a sweet boy, friendly with everyone he meets, but not overly fussed about constant cuddles or attention. He prefers his own space and would suit someone who is happy for him to quietly do his own thing alongside them.

As an ex-racer, Dez will need to be kept on lead in public and is likely to chase small furries, so secure walks and a good-sized garden will be ideal. He is not yet housetrained and he will need patient owners who are happy to help him learn the basics of home life.

Dez has taken well to life at the centre—he settles nicely in his kennel, has been good with handling, vet checks, grooming, and walks nicely on the lead. He is curious about new places and although toys are not really his thing yet, he has enjoyed a licki mat and is happy to take treats gently. He is still learning about travelling in a car, but with a bit of practice, he should get the hang of it.

If you are looking for a gentle, low-key companion who will quietly slot into your life and enjoy a mix of peaceful downtime and outdoor adventures, Dez could be the one. He will bring a steady, soothing presence to the right home.

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.
