Lewis - 3 year old male Greyhound cross Saluki

Sadly the beautiful Lewis, a 3 year old male Greyhound cross Saluki had to come back into our care due to him and the new dog he went to live with having a clash of characters. The other dog was quite stand offish at times giving mixed signals and this led to confusion and too much rough play on Lewis’s behalf.

Lewis is currently in foster with three other Lurchers 2 male and 1 VERY dominant female all of whom he gets on well with. The female in the home has put him through his paces and Lewis has completely ignored her behaviour and shown no signs of having a shout back.

Lewis is house trained but did have a couple of accidents when he first landed in his foster home due to unsettledness but this has now rectified. He goes through the night downstairs with the other dogs also without any accidents.

Out on lead Lewis walks well, he can be a little excitable to being with but soon calms down and walks nicely. He has been fine with most other dogs he meets but if he sees a small dog and it barks at him first will react. He is not cat friendly.

Lewis is left during the day with the company of the other dogs as his foster family work, however, they do come home at lunchtime to allow him to the toilet and again he is fine with this. The dogs stay in the living room area and access to the kitchen is blocked at all times as Lewis has a talent for opening cupboards and drawers and helping himself to whatever he fancies.

So any new owner needs to take measures to prevent this. He has now done it in both foster homes and the home he previously went too. In the current foster home as the access is stopped he has only done it once though when they forgot to stop access to the kitchen.

Lewis is a bright intelligent dog who just loves his humans and the company of other hounds. He would love a home with a female hound and would just flourish with her company. Lewis does have good recall off lead in safe areas. Lewis is flea treated, de-wormed, micro-chipped, vaccinated, KC vaccinated and castrated.
