About Astrid
At home, Astrid is easy to live with and happy in her quiet routines. She’s fully toilet trained, walks nicely on the lead, and enjoys car rides without fuss. She currently shares her days with an elderly male greyhound, and the two get along beautifully, often resting side by side. Astrid sleeps peacefully through the night, tucked under her blankets in the lounge, content in her safe little world.
While Astrid has come a long way, she can still be shy when meeting new people. She doesn’t show any aggression, just a bit of hesitation until she feels comfortable. With gentle handling and time, her confidence continues to grow. On her walks, she’s curious but cautious, sometimes startled by unfamiliar sights or sounds. Each outing, however, makes her braver and more relaxed.
Astrid adores affection and quietly leans in for cuddles, resting her head against you as if to say thank you. She would do best in a calm, cat‑free home with another friendly dog or an owner who is home most of the time. For someone looking for a gentle companion to share peaceful days with, Astrid will bring warmth, quiet joy, and the soft company of a loving friend.
Astrid 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.
