About Tiger
Tiger is love in the shape of a greyhound. He thinks people are the best part about living in this world. He gets attached very easily and is careful to not let those he loves stray too far from his sight, even standing guard outside the toilet or shower in case his loved one goes missing! He has been known to cry when his foster carers leave and will likely need someone who is home often to keep him company.
He’s extraordinarily energetic for a greyhound. With oodles of energy, Tiger will need plenty of walks and a nice backyard for him to play in. He would do well with a canine brother or sister to play with and help burn off his puppy-like energy and enthusiasm. A larger dog would be best.
Tiger walks beautifully on a lead. He’s conquered the stairs. He’s a bit of a clutz though, and tends to knock himself walking into cupboards, tables, chairs and doors. Tiger, like many rescues also thinks that all food is for him, so his owners will have to have hawk-eyes when Tiger is near the dinner table while he settles in.
He’s quite small for a boy and has a beautiful stripy, brindle coat – hence his name. Tiger’s handsome looks receive many compliments on his daily walks. He’s got lovely manners and has transitioned to life as a pet seamlessly. Tiger will make his future family very happy, he’s the perfect pooch.

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.
