💕 Meet Delphi — Your Quiet, Graceful Companion
Delphi is a gentle, independent soul looking for a calm, loving home to enjoy her well-earned retirement. She’s the kind of girl who doesn’t need much — just a soft bed, a peaceful space, and an adult who appreciates the quieter side of life.
Delphi is blind in her left eye, so approaching her from her right hand side is really important for her to feel safe.
🏡 Home Life
Delphi is currently living in a large duplex and has made it very clear: inside time is queen. She’s not fussed about being outdoors for long stretches. A small yard is more than enough for her occasional wander and sniff.
🐾 Solo Star or Gentle Roommate
She gets along beautifully with other greyhounds, as long as her personal bubble is respected. Delphi would thrive as a solo dog, but she can coexist with others who understand that she’s a lady with boundaries.
😌 Independence & Downtime
Delphi is a pro at relaxing. Truly—a professional. She’s happy to lounge around on a comfy bed and doesn’t need constant attention. She’s perfectly content in her own company and thoughts.
👨🦳👩🦰 Adults Only, Please
Delphi prefers the calm presence of adults and is not suited to homes with children. She’s gentle, but kids and their energy just aren’t her thing.
Due to her left eye blindness, kids can be a little overwhelming as they move quickly.
🍽️ Food & Space
No resource guarding, no sleep startle—Delphi is very polite. She simply doesn’t want to share her meals (fair enough). Respect her space and she’ll be a happy, peaceful girl.
🚶♀️ Walks & Manners
Her lead manners are lovely. She walks softly, doesn’t pull, and occasionally breaks into a charming little prance that looks like she’s floating. A daily stroll is her ritual, and she’ll wait by the door when she’s ready.
🚻 Toileting
Delphi can hold overnight and for long periods during the day. She understands the routine—just show her the right spot at the beginning.
🌆 City-Savvy Girl
She’s unfazed by noise, traffic, and the bustle of city life. Just keep her away from playgrounds (kids again - no thanks).
🐶 Other Dogs
Friendly on the street, no issues with dogs she meets. Not cat tested.
💛 A Heart That’s Healing
Delphi has recently come from a stressful situation and is slowly blossoming. She’s mostly decompressed but will still need patience if she gets overwhelmed. Once she trusts you, she opens up beautifully.
✨ Why You’ll Love Delphi
• She’s a quiet, dignified lady
• Independent yet affectionate in her own calm way
• Loves a daily prance around the neighbourhood
• Happy to rest beside you while you work or watch TV
• Low maintenance and adult-friendly
• A perfect match for someone wanting a peaceful, gentle companion
Delphi will be 6 in January - are you ready to throw her a birthday pawty?
