Dandy - 3 year old male Greyhound

Meet Dandy, a 3 year old Greyhound male. This very handsome - and very aptly named! - black greyhound dog has come to us directly from his trainer. He is a rather shy boy but with the gentle tlc of the kennel staff he is slowly coming round in our kennels. Dandy had 20 registered races so his career wasn’t a particularly glittering one. Dandy says he would rather be upside down on a sofa with his legs in the air than running around a racing track. We think he’s got the right idea! Dandy is currently in a foster home and is doing really well.

A word from his mum and dad, to let you all know how well he is doing: “Dandy (aka Dan the Man) has been in foster care for 4 months now and has gained so much more confidence and should settle well into a permanent home with owners who have previous Greyhound experience. It goes without saying that experience of a shy dog would also help.”

“Dan is a really affectionate chap who loves a cuddle and to be groomed. On first introductions he will tend to back off but after a while, once he has got to know who you are, it does not take him long to tentatively come forward for a fuss. Food helps too! In his foster home he lives with another black Greyhound and a caged, quite verbal, parrot. Grandchildren often visit and he is really good with them.”
