Strider

Hi my name is STRIDER and I am a male red-fawn greyhound who just turned 3 this month.

I am an extremely affectionate greyhound. What I especially LOVE is cuddles. No one is safe from me. I expect everyone to want to pat & cuddle me and if you let me close enough I even like to give kisses.

For a greyhound I can at times be rather energetic and will require at least a 30 min walk everyday – in the morning before you leave for work would be best as this will settle me for the day and this is when I have the most energy. I am still learning to walk nicely on the lead so I need someone willing to continue my training. As I am a rather strong boy it would probably be best if your kids are older as I do pull on occasion when I get distracted.

I love going for rides in the car especially if I am going to the beach or a park, but I do need to be helped to get into the car but I can jump out of the car myself and I will settle down and lie down until we get to where we are going.

I am very well mannered around food. I stay out of the kitchen while food is being prepared, I don’t counter surf and I will lie at your feet while you eat. When it comes to my food I can be a bit funny with it – sometimes I will eat it all at once, sometimes I like to save some until later

I sleep through the night on a mat at the foot of my foster parent’s bed. If you want a dog that stays off beds and sofas, that not me. Any chance I get I love to disappear into the bedrooms and find myself a comfy bed or join you on the sofa for a cuddle.

I’m looking forward to going to my forever home – hope to meet you soon – love STRIDER.
