Rupert

Liverpool, Merseyside3 months

Description

Rupert's ideal home

Rupert can live with children of high school age and could live with a female Greyhound type or larger dog. As he is unlikely to have lived in a home before, some patience may be required when it comes to house training.

Could you be Rupert's perfect match?

Rupert is all about the fusses! He's a very laid back boy who will do everything he can to get people to stroke him, including the infamous Greyhound "lean", which he has down to a fine art. He has shared his kennel happily with a female Greyhound and could possibly live with another similar dog following a successful introduction at the centre. He walks very happily with other Greyhounds and larger dogs, so should definitely still have company for his adventures. Rupert is tennis ball MAD! He can be very intense with them when playing and we advise that his adopters shouldn't try to take them from him, but teach him to trade or a drop command instead. We have no history for Rupert other than he has been used for racing and has most likely spent his life in a kennel. Please be patient when he goes home as it's a big change for him and he will have a lot to learn and get used to.

Dexter

...OK. He doesn't quite seem to know what to make of other dogs - he seems curious but has barked at some whilst sniffing others and then walking away. Because of his potential to become easily excited, we'd advise that any potential walking buddies be introduced calmly and appropriately so Dex can learn to keep it nice and easy.

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 6 months, 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

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".

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.
