Oscar is checking out his new home

Oscar is a two-faced boy - if you look at home from one side he has a brindle pirate patch over his eye. From the other side he has a brindle face.

Oscar is a happy, loving, sociable boy who is still a big puppy. He loves nothing more than putting his head in your lap for a cuddle. Due to his colouring (or lack thereof – he’s all white except for some brindle on his face & ears) & his obvious preferences, he needs a home where he can be indoors much of the time. Oscar has a great appetite & has had no issues with house training. A bit enthusiastic when he sees the lead being picked up but soon settles down & walks quite well on the lead. Oscar would suit a range of adoptive homes, but probably best suited to a family situation where he can be included in family life & activities. Oscar has not been tested with cats.

Oscar has been desexed, microchipped, heartworm-tested and wormed. He comes with a collar, a lead, a muzzle and one month's heartworm preventative medication.

Greyhounds are calm, gentle friendly dogs. They do not need long walks and are happy with a twenty minute walk once or twice a day.

They can sleep for up to 20 hours per day.

Greyhounds need to remain on lead at all times in public areas, and should only be allowed off-lead in fenced areas. They need to be muzzled in public until they have passed their Greenhounds assessment which gives them an exemption from muzzling.

They are very susceptible to weather, and will need shelter from the elements. During winter they will need a warm coat. They have little padding on their bones and will need a comfy bed all year around.
