Jack and Sandy

Meet Jack and Sandy. Jack is a 5 year old male Greyhound, Sandy is a 6 year old female Greyhound. These two lovely dogs have sadly found themselves needing a new home due to the sad loss of their Dad. They are currently in residence with Carla his daughter and husband and two dogs of their own. Carla is not able to keep four dogs long-term but understandably doesn’t want to see these two back in kennels as Sandy the black and white girl especially can be nervous and they don’t want to see her set back.

As lovely as it would be to find these two a home as a pair we totally understand and appreciate that that may not be possible so are willing to home them individually as long as they will have another canine companion in the home. We also need to look for foster homes for them to go into. Here is what Carla has to say about the dogs….

Jack has very good social skills as he has been away from a racing environment and living in a home for 2 years. He lives with a greyhound bitch called Sandy as well as a Grehound cross Collie female and a male Labrador. He also gets on well with all our family’s visiting dogs which range in sex and in size from the very large to very small.

He loves to play with other dogs in the garden but is not really sure what to do with toys so will usually watch them play and join in the running around bit. Jack is very tolerant of the other dogs and very laid back in the home. He sleeps alot and likes nothing better than to lie next to you on the sofa with his head on your knee for a stroke. He will sit there all day (and longer I think) for a cuddle! He is very good with children even our very loud and excitable niece! He has starting sleeping on the furniture which we have allowed but is just as happy on the floor or hearth in front of the fire.

He has been used to 3 short walks a day but is happy enough with a play in the garden (and a dig) and a little toddle out occasionally. He has been let off the lead but only when he is really used to the area as he is very fast and does laps. He does jump about sometimes when he sees other dogs on the pavement but will walk past them and is not aggressive if they come over to him. We think he is just desperate to play with them.

He is however not really a cat person and so would be best off in a non feline environment. He is however living in a house with 2 pet rats at the moment and doesn’t seem bothered by them in the slightest. Jacks ideal home is with someone without cats and who will give him the love he is desparate for but other than that he’s quite an adaptable chap. He is vaccinated, deflead, dewormed, micro-chipped and neutered.

He is good to be left with or without the company of other dogs and is totally non destructive. He also travels well in the car. Jack needs a new home through absolutely no fault of his own as his owner has sadly passed away - he deserves a 5* permenant home to live out his days in as he is a very special boy.

Sandy has very good social skills as she has been away from a racing environment and living in a home for 2 years. She lives with a greyhound dog called Jack as well as a grehound/collie x bitch and a male labrador. She also gets on well with all our family’s visiting dogs which range in sex and in size from the very large to very small. She loves other dogs but is very timid so will usually watch them play from the sofa! Sandy is very tolerant of the other dogs and very laid back in the home. She sleeps alot but she does like regular walks and will come and ask for them at the appropriate times during the day!

She is excellent with children even our very loud and excitable neice who has been walking her and spends her evenings trying to get Sandy to play with her! She has starting sleeping on the furniture which we have allowed but is just as happy on the floor or hearth in front of the fire. She has been used to 3 short walks a day and has been let off the lead but only at home when she was used to the area.

She does come back to her name even when other dogs are about. She is perfect on the lead and you barely know she’s there as she walks to heel. She does like to do a lot of stopping and sniffing though so she can drag out her walk. She is however not really a cat person and so would be best off in a non feline or small pet environment. Sandy’s ideal home is with someone without cats and who will give her lots of love and take her on nice walks.

She is vaccinated, deflead, dewormed, micro-chipped and spayed. She is good to be left with or without the company of other dogs and is totally non destructive. She also travels well in the car. Sandy needs a new home through absolutely no fault of her own as her owner has sadly passed away - she deserves a 5* permenant home to live out her days in as she is a truly adorable girl.

Each of them has an RSPCA dog bed, leather collar and lead, fabric collar for in the house and spare fabric lead, muzzle, vaccination record, feeding stand with 2 metal bowls, shampoo and a tick remover and other bits and pieces. I would not part with them unless I really had to so I hope we can find them good homes - as I said before they can be homed separately.
