About Wendy
Wendy considers herself somewhat of an amateur athlete. She prides herself on the stamina and endurance she exhibits on her daily walks. Sometimes she even refuses to come home if she feels like she has not had enough time to stretch her legs. It’s one of the few times she displays her stubborn nature.
While Wendy is happy and reasonably comfortable around other dogs, she would easily cope living in an only-dog household, as long as she gets enough affection and attention from her humans. After her long walks she is happy to laze around all day in the sun, letting her body rest until the next time she can trot around the block. She’s very loyal and will always have one eye out so she knows where everyone is at all times.
She is quite picky with her food, but apart from this she is very easy-going. She is slowly learning the comfort and joy that comes with sleeping on a couch and a soft bed, but sometimes still approaches it with hesitancy like she’s not sure she deserves it. She always seems calmed by noises of reassurance. Her personality is truly beginning to shine to reveal a cheeky side that will always keep you entertained.
She’s got the most adorable face full of love and a sleek glossy coat that is soft to touch.
No cat or small dog applications please
We only consider applications who compete our online application.
When this is done we can make contact to discuss adopting a greyhound and potential suitable greys currently in foster care.
Adoption details
Dogs are pack animals and Greyhounds, in particular, are very familiar with being surrounded by other dogs in their racing kennel environment. For this reason, when left alone without people or other dogs for company, they can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour. Yes, they may "grow out" of it after a few weeks in their new home, but why put the dog through that stress to ultimately live all day alone, while everyone is at work? As a result we do not rehome dogs into households where they are left on their own for more than 4 hours per day, without either people or another dog for company.
During the COVID crisis, not all of our rescued Greyhounds will have the usual socialisation with other dogs so we may advise to use a muzzle in some situations until the dog is fully socialised.

Following your initial application, we conduct a home check. Our dogs are placed on a two week trial. The adoption fee is paid at time of placement and reimbursed if the trial is unsuccessful.
After the trial period is deemed successful, the adoption process is finalised.
