About Boomer
Boomer is a striking black, white and brown patterned boy who looks suspiciously like a cow. He has one of the most interesting coats we’ve ever seen, with big patches of colour over his torso and paint splattered black flecks up his legs and on his face.
Boomer knows he is special. He can be quite demanding of attention, butting his head into your hand until you have given him the desired number of pats. He makes a great couch buddy and enjoys lazing about with his humans while they watch TV. He is equally happy to get moving and looks forward to his two walks a day where he can stretch his legs and meet other dogs. He knows it’s walkies time when the lead is pulled out, and will celebrate by jumping up and down and spinning around in excitement and gratitude.
He would suit an active family who can spend lots of time with Boomer as he really enjoys company and has lots of energy to expend. He would be happy to live with another doggy friend to keep him entertained throughout the day. He’s well-behaved and is very easy going, except when it comes to dinner time. Boomer expects the best for his meals and is known to be a slightly picky eater. Patience and a good routine are required!

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.
