Greyhound

Holly – 6 year old female Greyhound

Holly is a 6 year old, very bright and affectionate Greyhound girl. She is very fond of her food, and the proud owner of one of the wiggly-waggliest tails in the world! She is learning all about playtime with toys, and she will play nicely with other dogs. Sadly Holly was born profoundly deaf, but we will happily work with her new family to teach them how to communicate with her using hand signals.

In the right home, Holly may be ok as an only dog; she has been living with another dog and that may also be an option for the future, to help give her more confidence. Holly has lived with cats and we think she would be fine to do so again in future. Unfortunately we don’t think Holly can live with children, as her deafness makes her too easily startled. Holly is currently in Cheshire.

Max – 5 year old male Greyhound

Max is a beautiful 5 year old fawn Greyhound boy, who loves playtime, particularly with his cuddly sausage dog! When the excitement is over, he likes nothing better than to lean back into your arms for a great big houndy hug. Max is fully housetrained and may be left for a few hours on his own. He loves his walks, and has learnt to walk like a gentleman on his Halti.

We think that Max would be fine to live with older children, but he’d prefer not to live with a cat or another dog. Max is not really enjoying his time in kennels, and desperately needs a loving home to call his own. Max is currently in Lancashire.

Kelvin – 3 1/2 year old male Greyhound

Kelvin is a 3 ½ year old greyhound. He is a fabulous lad and is proving to be good with other dogs both big and small but he is currently muzzled out in public whilst he continues his socialisation as per our insurance. He is pictured muzzled as he was out fundraising at a Meet & Greet.

Kelvin is currently in foster with a male and female greyhound both of whom he gets on well with. Kelvin has been good being left whilst his foster carer is out at work and has been clean in the house after a couple of accidents when he first arrived. Out on lead Kelvin walks well and does not react when the foster carers greyhounds bounce around when seeing a small dog or cat, however he will occasionally have a bounce and jump forward for no reason other than he quite fancies it. Kelvin is NOT cat friendly

Kelvin travels well and enjoys being in the car. He is great with children and is currently fostered with a child so should be okay with dog savvy children 5 plus with supervision. This lad has a fantastic cheeky persona and is going to settle into a wonderful boy. He is in a foster home in Staffordshire.

Kelvin is vaccinated, kennel cough vaccinated, treated for parasites, neutered, has received a dental and is microchipped.

Harrison – 3 year old male Greyhound

Harrison is a year 3 old Greyhound boy. There is only word for Harrison and thats ‘handsome’! He has stunning white markings that offset his lovely brindle coat. Before coming to us Harrison had injured the tendons in one of his legs and had to have an operation to correct it. He is now fully recovered though no longer fast enough for the track and this is how he came to us.

Harrison has only just arrived at the kennels so we are still getting to know him but so far he is proving to be a perfect gent. He loves cuddles and is very well mannered with the other greyhounds in the kennels. We dont expect that given Harrison’s movie star looks (yes we did name him after THAT Harrison) he will be in kennels for long. He will not be cat friendly.

This lovely fella will be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before going to his new home, and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure. He is currently in kennels in Ireland, and can be transported via Kerry Greyhounds to the UK or Europe if a suitable home offer comes up. This will be organised and paid for by Kerry Greyhounds, and we ask only for a donation to help cover costs.

Blackie – 4 year old male Greyhound

Blackie is a 4 year old male Greyhound. He is a large black boy with a distinguished, silvery muzzle and kind eyes. Blackie is a lovely, friendly boy who enjoys a playful romp around with the other greyhounds in the kennels. He is good with children and we are sure once he learns what a squeaky toy is for it will be his new obsession! Blackie has not yet seen much of the world outside of kennels and has not been in a home before, so new owners will need to give him some settling in time when he first arrives. Blackie is not cat friendly, and care will be needed when introducing him to other dog breeds as he has likely never seen anything other than greyhounds before.

Blackie’s best friend in the world is Miller, another 4 year old black boy. They have spent their entire lives together so ideally we would love to find them a home together as they would help each other adjust to the home life. They balance each other out beautifully – Blackie being outgoing and playful and Miller being more calm and laid back. We will rehome them separately if the right homes come along, however.

Blackie is currently in kennels with Miller in Norfolk, UK. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure. After 4 years of racing, both these boys really deserve their retirement sofas now.
