About This Dog for Adoption

Solo's ideal home

Solo is a charming young greyhound, aged 1 year and 10 months, with a friendly and confident nature when meeting new people. As an ex-racing greyhound, he will need adopters who understand the breed and can offer patience and reassurance while he settles into home life. Solo has a medium energy level and enjoys his daily exercise, but he is also happy to relax once his needs are met. He can be left for up to four hours, as long as this is built up gradually, and will thrive in a calm, structured environment where he can learn at his own pace.

Could you be Solo's perfect match?

Solo is confident and excitable around other dogs and may be able to live with another dog of a similar size and with compatible breed traits. Due to his high prey drive, he cannot live with cats or small furries, and he is best suited to a home with children aged 11 and over. A secure area is essential for Solo, allowing him to be off lead without the need for a lead or muzzle and giving him space to stretch his long legs safely. With understanding, consistency, and kindness, Solo will make a wonderful companion for adopters ready to support him as he transitions from racing life to a loving home.

Dogs Trust Adoption Process

Thinking of adopting through Dogs Trust? Here's what to expect before you start your application.

  • Register your interest in adoption on the Dogs Trust website - you can't apply for specific dogs directly.
  • Create an account to favourite dogs you're interested in and help the team understand your preferences.
  • Dogs Trust will match you with dogs that fit your lifestyle and home environment.
  • Some dogs listed here may already be rehomed or reserved, as updates can take time to sync.
  • If matched, you'll go through their adoption and home-check process before taking your new dog home.
