About This Dog

Vernon's ideal home

Meet Vernon, the silly and goofy 3 and a half year old Greyhound who loves fuss and play in equal measure. He will happily chase after anything you throw for him, but he especially likes a rubber ball, and he is always up for a game of tuggy with a teddy. He is an affectionate lad, and will do the typical Greyhound lean when to scratch the right spot, he likes to snuggle up with you for a good snooze, so make sure you have a sofa big enough for this beautiful boy.

Could you be Vernon's perfect match?

Vernon is looking for a home with loving and active adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures, who will take the time to help him settle in and give him all the love and attention he deserves. He is a friendly bean who could live with primary school children who are confident with larger, goofy dogs, children who will play with him nicely and will give him space to rest when needed. Vernon likes all of the attention to himself, so is looking to be the only pet in the home, he likes other dogs and would be happy with polite and friendly walking buddies. He has some training under his belt and is currently doing muzzle training as he will need to be on a lead and muzzle at all time is public due to a high chase drive. He would like a home with a private, secure garden for him to have off lead time pottering about in at his leisure. Vernon can be worried being left alone, so is looking for a family with someone home the majority of the time, especially to begin with, but with time he could be left for up to 4 hours. Any leaving time would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Vernon will need to meet his adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear all of this in mind when applying.
