Greyhound Cross

Stanley – 1 year old male Whippet cross Greyhound

Stanly is a medium size Whippet cross Greyhound tan in color and aged approximately one year old who urgently needs his forever home. This young boy is very friendly and has lived in the company of other dogs though we are not sure how he would be with cats. Stanley is house trained but needs some basic lead training as he has not been used to walking on a lead, this could soon be resolved. We do not have much information on him as yet but if you are interested please do phone Carol on 01642 317163 to have a chat about him.

Bronte – 2 year old female German Shepherd cross Greyhound

Bronte is a superb German Shepherd cross Greyhound aged 2 years old. She is a large dog breed and will be easy for a large dog family to manage. She is a little unnerved in strange settings and with strangers but longing to welcome and settles easily when friendship is offered. Bronte currently is managed on an extender lead as she has chase drive coming from her sight hound roots! She is delighted to play and runs like the wind but will need a muzzle like Greyhounds do as she has mild prey drive.

Bronte was found stray and very thin. On observation she is definitely Greyhound cross Shepherd so naturally low weight. She was fostered in with 2 small terriers and did so well but began to get involved in the terriers tantrums and needed to come back to us at the sadness of her new family. Just too complex a home for her. Bronte is chipped, vaccinated and neutered. Bronte needs a dog experienced owner who can guide her through in achieving her potential. She has clear Shepherd qualities of apprehensive to strangers but soon welcomes. She had sight hound qualities and must be watched around cats and small furries. Looking for a quiet settled life as an only pet status.

Bronte has the most glorious soft thick coat, and yes she moults as Shepherd owners appreciate. She also has that close companion personality, delighting in placing her heavy head on your lap and receiving soft strokes to her head and shoulders. Intelligence, elegance and simply captivating! Destined to capture your heart and turn you into her devotee!

“Please note this dog is currently in boarding kennels and is also available for foster until a ‘forever’ home is found”.

Bracken – 18 month old male Collie cross Greyhound

Bracken came to us via the dog warden as a stray, he is a very gentle and sweet natured boy but his one downfall is that he’s not good with cats, we have been on the end of the lead when he has seen one.

Bracken is clean in his pen and always pleased to see people. He seems fine with other dogs too. He has been vaccinated, neutered, wormed and microchipped.

Bracken is with Dog Samaritans so please contact them on 01588 676106 if you would like to offer Bracken a home.

Gabby – 4 year old female Greyhound cross Lurcher

Meet dear Gabby. She is a little black greyhound cross lurcher girl who is approx. 4 years old. Gabby was taken in by Kerry Greyhound Connection as a stray and homed 2 years ago, but has sadly come back to us as she is no longer suited to the home. She is now looking for her new forever sofa. Gabby is a petite girl at 23” to the shoulder with a beautifully sleek, shiny black coat.

~ Personality ~
Gabby has found the sudden change in situation from home to kennel quite upsetting, and it is taking her a little while to re-adjust. She has only been with us for about a week, and we hope she will settle in and relax a bit more in the next week or two. She has shown herself to be a very sweet natured, people centric hound who just wants to be petted and loved. She is currently living up to her namesake and likes everyone to know how she feels!

~ Other Animals ~
Gabby was living with another male greyhound in her previous home, and they got on beautifully together. She can find over exuberant or in-your-face dogs quite bothersome, and will tell them off. Gabby likes to be respected and not feel threatened, and if the other dog gives her her space, they get on like a house on fire. She is currently being paired on her walks with one of our big, easy going male hounds, Oscar, and they are getting on great. Gabby walks well on the lead and really enjoys getting out of her kennel.

~ In the Home ~
Gabby has lived in a home for 2 years previous to coming back to us, and was generally well behaved in the house. She was fully housetrained, didn’t counter surf and was well used to all the sights and sounds of a home. She should have no real trouble re-adjusting back into the comforts of the home life, and will likely welcome a sofa with big open paws. She does suffer from separation anxiety, however, so new owners will need to be relatively firm in her training and set boundaries from day 1 to prevent her from becoming too clingy. If left alone for any period of time she gets distressed and will become destructive. This is something that could be worked on provided new owners are aware and prepared for this issue from the start.

Gabby would be ideally suited to a retired couple who want a mannered dog to walk with and to love. Gabby has oodles of loyal companionship to offer to whoever opens their arms for her, she just needs the right kind of home to suit her. This girl needs a home without children as if she is suddenly startled, e.g. when asleep, she may react without thinking. She has no problem meeting children when out and about, however, and has lived with them before. She could live with another male dog provided they were laid back and calm, though since she loves people so much, Gabby would be just as happy as an only dog provided she was not left alone for periods of time.

~ Where Am I? ~
Gabby is currently in kennels in Norfolk, UK. She can be homed anywhere in the UK, but please note that you will be required to travel to meet and collect her.

~ Want To Adopt Me? ~
Gabby is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, de-flea’d and wormed and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure. This girl would greatly benefit from being in a foster home, and Kerry Greyhound Connection is always in desperate need of new fosterers. It is such a rewarding experience, and costs are covered by the rescue.

If you are interested in adopting or short-term fostering Gabby, please email me (Tam) on tamakin_84@yahoo.co.uk for our adoption application form and information pack. Emails are usually replied to within 24hrs. Thanks!
