Slater – 4-5 year old male Whippet cross Saluki
Meet the stunningly beautiful Slater. Slater is a 4 – 5 year old Whippet cross Saluki who is cat friendly. He recently landed in our care from a stray pound situation after being picked up as a stray so nothing is known of his past history. Slater is now in foster care with 2 female Greyhounds and 1 male Lurcher and is fine with them but at the moment pays them little attention and is happy to sleep and settle on his bed.
There is also a 4 year old child in the foster home who again Slater is fine with and is no problem with the resident cat infact ignored it and showed absolutly no interest. Slater is only a little boy and is very fine boned, slender and pretty almost too pretty for a male dog. He walks well on leash, in fact you dont know you have him. He is clean in the home and fine to be left in the company of the other dogs and settles down and sleeps well overnight.
The first night the foster carer tried to crate him as he hadn’t been there long and to keep him safe incase of any problems between him and the resident dogs but he did cry and whinge all night. The second night she left him lose and he was fine and has been fine to be left when she has been out during the day.
All in all in the house Slater is very settled and chilled out and relaxed. Now the bad point which is only minor and will get better. Slater is a VERY nervous traveller. He struggles to settle in the car and gets upset. The foster carer is getting around this by travelling him in a crate which he is already starting to settle in but will usually wet himself. In just the two days though that she has been introducing short journeys to the walk etc he is already much improved. Whoever offers the beautiful Slater a home would need to be willing to continue introducing him to travel.
Slater would be happy in a multi dog home but we also feel equally happy as an only dog with part time workers or someone around most of the time to settle him in. Slater is vaccinated, KC vaccinated, deflead, dewormed, micro-chipped and castrated.
