About Frank
If we're being Frank, we know that you'll fall in love with just one look at this handsome hound - but we're pleased to report that he's just as beautiful on the inside too!
Frank is described by his foster carer as your typical "chill greyhound", he enjoys a long walk if it is on offer, and a bit of a party when something exciting happens like his humans wake up or come home, but otherwise is happy to spend the day snoozing. With the company of another hound, he is fine to spend a whole work day just catching those z's, and you'll find the house just as you left it upon your return (and likely, Frank too!).
A smart boy with excellent manners, Frank knows to sit on his mat while you are preparing meals, and has almost mastered waiting before crossing the road, he is also building his confidence socialising with other dogs while on lead, and is learning the art of polite hellos as opposed to slightly awkward staring; he would love a home that will continue to work with him using positive reinforcement (and lots of yummy treats of course), because learning new things is lots of fun!
The ultimate couch potato, Frank is known to become engrossed in watching the TV, and you may find yourself distracted by watching his reactions as he follows along. He hopes that his forever home enjoy movie nights, and that he will be invited up for a snuggle in a comfy spot.
Although very friendly with children, Frank is a big boy who can hop and jump around when he's excited, so he should be supervised if interacting with small kids or elderly/frail family members - sometimes he just can't contain all the loving that he has to give.
Frank may be (mostly) white, but he actually identifies as a shadow. Once you are home for the day he is keen to be involved in your activities, and will squire you about the house to ensure you don't get lonely. He thinks it's best if there are nice comfy spots in each room that you might be in, so that he can observe the goings on from a bed or a blanket.
If you're in the market for a big boofy boy who is sure to capture hearts wherever he goes, then look no further than the delightful Frank!

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, some can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour.
As a result we look to rehome dogs into households where they are not left on their own for more than 4 hours per day on a regular basis, without either people or another dog for company. We are happy discuss strategies such as a dog walker or doggy day care. Going to work with you is also a great option

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.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
