Jess

Learning to trust, ready to love

Jess, also known as Black Beauty, is a special girl looking for a quiet home with one or two people who will give her time to learn to trust. She needs someone who won’t be offended if she chooses to go to another room when visitors arrive. You see, Jess is frightened of people. Once she has settled, though, she’s just like any other five‑year‑old greyhound: playful, cheeky, and full of little quirks. She enjoys playing with toys, doing the occasional zoomie, collecting slippers, and even digging an odd hole now and then. She is toilet trained and loves her food (and will happily remind you when it’s mealtime!).

Jess gets along well with other dogs, except when they come attached to humans, then she prefers to hide rather than interact. There’s no aggression, just shyness. She’s a lovely walker as long as her surroundings are quiet; if people are around, she simply wants to head home.

Jess isn’t the right dog if you’re looking for one to take everywhere or live in a busy city environment. She would be happiest in a calm home on the fringe or in the country, where she can enjoy peaceful walks at quiet times of the day. Jess would also do well living with another dog for company.

Jess is not cat or pocket pet tolerant.
