About Wishy
Wishy is a very inquisitive young lady. Every walk is a great adventure, lots to investigate and we must sniff sniff sniff. Wishy is on a mission.
At home Wishy will make the most of her space for zoomies, grabbing a toy or if handy a thong or sandal to join her on her shenanigans.
Wishy still has some manners to learn in the house. Typical for new rescues she is always keeping an eye on any snacks she can acquire… not all intended for her.
Stairs are a work in progress but getting there. Wishy is happily living with another dog in foster care to keep her company so we are a little unsure how well she will be home alone.
Wishy will entertain, that is certain.
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under six.
No full time workers unless working from home post COVID19 unless there is another dog
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.
