About Storm
Storm could not be more different from his namesake. Slow-paced, gentle, affectionate and calm, Storm is nothing like the wild weather his name suggests. He is one of the most affectionate greyhounds we have ever met and we know life with him will be smooth sailing.
Storm will be very happy following the routine of his new owner. He appreciates two short walks a day as he tires quickly. Most of the time, he’s happy playing with his toys by himself and will then spend the rest of the day snoozing. But if he could have it his way Storm would spend all day cuddling with people. He doesn’t believe in personal space or ‘alone time’, the closer he is to you the better! He would like to live with a family who is home often to keep him company.
Storm is one of the few greyhounds that can actually sit (albeit very awkwardly) and with some training might even be able to do it on command. He’s adapting very well to life as a pet as he is toilet trained, walks well on a lead and is very polite with his food. All in all, he is a happy-go-lucky boy who will adapt to a new environment easily. He has endless amounts of love to give and we have no doubt his new owner will fall in love with his quirky ways.
No cats or very small dogs

Adoption details
Dogs are pack animals and Greyhounds, in particular, are very familiar with being surrounded by other dogs in their racing kennel environment. For this reason, when left alone without people or other dogs for company, they can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour. Yes, they may "grow out" of it after a few weeks in their new home, but why put the dog through that stress to ultimately live all day alone, while everyone is at work? As a result we do not rehome dogs into households where they are left on their own for more than 4 hours per day, without either people or another dog for company.
During the COVID crisis, not all of our rescued Greyhounds will have the usual socialisation with other dogs so we may advise to use a muzzle in some situations until the dog is fully socialised.

Following your initial application, we conduct a home check. Our dogs are placed on a two week trial. The adoption fee is paid at time of placement and reimbursed if the trial is unsuccessful.
After the trial period is deemed successful, the adoption process is finalised.
