About Vinnie
Vinnie is a quiet, gentle soul with a calm nature that makes him a lovely companion to have around the home. He’s an easy boy to live with, content to rest nearby, taking everything in with peaceful curiosity. Toilet‑trained and well‑mannered, Vinnie fits neatly into daily life without fuss or noise.
When it’s time for a walk, he moves nicely on the lead, matching your pace and showing good manners along the way. He’s not one to pull or rush, instead taking time to enjoy the sights and sounds around him. Vinnie can be reactive to small dogs, as he has a strong prey drive, so he’ll need an owner who can manage that calmly and confidently. For this reason, he would do best in a home without small animals.
At mealtimes, Vinnie is very easygoing and eats well. His favourite moments are often the simple ones, playing with a squeaky toy or curling up for a afternoon nap.
Vinnie is a low‑energy boy who prefers relaxed days and gentle company. He enjoys being around people, showing his affection through quiet presence rather than constant attention. Whether he’s lying at your feet or snoozing on his bed, he’s happy just being near you.
This calm, kind boy will suit a peaceful home with patient owners who enjoy a slow, steady pace of life. Vinnie may not ask for much, but he gives plenty in return, trust, loyalty, and the quiet warmth of a true friend.
Vinnie is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.

Adoption details
Our greyhounds live in foster homes until they find their adoption home. This introduces them to pet life, toilet-training and they learn how to behave inside the home as well as all the new experiences they get on their daily walks. Many spend time in a home with another dog, children and a few sometimes with a cat.
As a safety net for greyhounds who may not otherwise have a chance at finding a forever home, we do our very best to find the right home to match our greyhounds' needs. If you are interested in Greyhound Adoption or Greyhound Fostering, please complete our On-line Application to help us understand more about you and recommend whether the dog you are applying for matches your lifestyle.
