Mistly – 3-4 year old female Greyhound
Mistly is an adorable friendly greyhound, 3-4 yrs old who is living in a foster home in Sheffield along with two other dogs. She goes out for long walks with lots of doggy friends and is well known around the neighbourhood for wanting to play chase with everything – and is sometimes let off lead to have a good run. She would prefer a more energetic home, but is equally happy going to work with her foster carer and sleeping peacefully under the desk. Her foster carer says “she is perfect with adults, children and all other dogs. Her recall is brilliant until we get near the playground where she knows my son will be and then she runs off to find him and only comes back once she has collected him.
Hannah – 7-8 year old female Greyhound
Hannah is a sweet and gentle older Greyhound, around 7-8 yrs who is just the easiest dog on earth to own. She is living in a foster home with children and two other dogs. Hannah is gentle on the lead – doesn’t pull or jump up. Her foster mum adores her and she still gets out for nice walks. We are looking for a calm home where she will be kept nice, warm, and well cared for. She comes with a clean bill of health.
Toby – 3 year old male Greyhound
Hello, my name is Toby. I’m a three year old male Greyhound. I arrived at The Mayhew due to my owner’s ill health. I am a sweet natured, sensitive and affectionate boy. I’m sensible and calm indoors, I’m well behaved and I can be left on my own for a couple of hours without any problems. I’m a pleasure to take for a walk; I always walk nicely by your side. I can be easily intimidated by larger dogs I’ve not met before so I prefer to keep my distance and I can get over excited with smaller dogs so I need to wear a muzzle on my walks. I’m not really into toys, except in the evenings when if encouraged I enjoy a game with my teddies and I also like to dance with my foster carer’s daughter. Loud noises and stairs scare me, noisy teenagers also unnerve me. I’m super gentle and affectionate and I love to lean in for cuddles. My foster carer says I’m a laid back and easy boy who settled down quickly. I spend most of my time lying on my bed watching what’s going on in the house.
I am now looking for a quiet forever home with someone who has owned dogs before and researched my breed type. I will need to live in either a house or a ground floor flat with direct access to a garden and I’ll need a home where there is somebody around for most of the day. I can live with sensible and calm teenagers but no visiting young children please or cats. I could possibly live with another large sized dog providing we’re the right match. My new owners will be expected to provide me with a minimum of one hour of controlled off lead exercise in the park every day. If you’re interested in adopting me you will need to be fully prepared for the hard work and long-term commitment involved in caring for a dog, you will be taking on a twelve year commitment, which must not be taken lightly.
I hope to see you soon
Toby

Jake is a five year old black male greyhound. He’s switches betweeen being excited to see you and out of his kennel when he sees a lead to not really knowing what to do when you give him a cuddle and some love. This is quite common with ex-racing Greyhounds. Jake is a full pedigree Greyhound (this can be traced from his ear tattoos and is shown on Greyhound data http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?rt=et<=stv&sex=m&color=&birthyear=&birthland).
His racing name was Lukayva. Jake was born in Ireland in October 2006 and raced 11 times in Birmingham in 2009 but as he’s turned up in rescue kennels he is now sadly be an unwanted asset. Can you offer this gentle boy the retirement home which will enable him to gain his confidence, learn how to play and enjoy cuddles? Greyhounds make such wonderful pets given a bit of time and TLC. Jake is fine with other dogs and good on the lead.

Arthur is a 7 year old Greyhound. He is homeless due to his owners change of circumstances. He is very affectionate. house trained, lives happily with another dog and is altogether a loving companion. As he is an racer(past his sell by date) it is inadvisable to home him with cats or small pets.
Sandy – 4 year old male Greyhound
Sandy is 4 year old male Greyhound. Sandy is a stunner & you would be proud to have him walking by your side as he is great on the lead .Sandy is a little bit confused at the moment but he is starting to learn that doggy life is good. He gets on well with other dogs and would love to be rehomed with another calm medium sized dog who would help him to enjoy life. He would prefer a quiet peaceful home where he can snooze happily most of the day. Sandy cannot be re-homed with small furrys.
Lizzie – 12 year old female Greyhound
Lizzie is a gorgeous – in her own way!!! – greyhound girl who came in with 12 yr old Jill – now homed, and 10 yr old Scooby – now a permanent foster dog. Liz had been kept by her trainer after racing but had not really got the retirement she dreamed of, kept in the garden and left to get very overweight and her teeth slowly rotting away.. Liz needed 24 teeth removing when she first arrived in our care. We do not think that Liz got out much either….well how things change….Liz has now lost 4 kilos and is fattening up nicely… she is starting to shed her incredibly thick polar bear coat and her lovely blue is showing through well! Liz will soon be unrecognisable and well… we can’t wait to see those pics. For now I’m afraid you will need to see past the rather unflattering ones we have of her….
We love Lizzie and so does her foster mum… here is what she says about this 10.5 year old puppy! So just Liz left waiting then… Well, what can I say about Lizzie? She’s a gorgeous girlie with a coat like a teddy bear! It’s early days, but so far Lizzie hasn’t put a paw wrong! She is a confident dog, loving her walks and her food, and pottering round the garden. She wasn’t bothered at all about going to see the vet, and took it all in her stride when we had surprise visitors on Saturday. She is showing a couple of typical greyhound traits – rather too much interest in squirrels and cats, and the idea that humans really don’t have anything better to do than give her cuddles! Lizzie was fine when we had some teenage children to visit. In fact, at the tender age of 10.5 years, Lizzie is very young at heart and has a whole world to explore. She hasn’t had to stay home alone yet, but I think she’ll miss human company more than the company of any canine friends!!! I can’t wait to see this girl emerge from her cocoon – she has already discovered the delights of showing the teddy bears who’s boss. Liz is very food oriented and will counter-surf. She has learnt to keep her distance when humans are eating, and a sharp “NO” will prevent her from helping herself out of another dog’s bowl! In fact, she is generally responsive and with time (and treats!) she could be a very obedient girl. I believe Lizzie will really flourish in a home as an only dog – she loves attention, and would really rather not have to share it!! Outside the house Lizzie is happy to meet other dogs, large and small, but cats wisely give her a wide berth.
