On Hold
About Radish
I’m a handsome dark chocolate three-year-old guy with big brown eyes. I have quite a bit of energy so I’d like to walk with you a couple of times a day.
I like to be in the yard so I can watch the world go by or while you’re gardening, or in the house keeping you company while you’re cleaning but, at the same time, I’m quite content being on my own while you’re out. I know I’m only allowed on the furniture when I’m invited, but never to sleep.
Even though I broke my leg back in my racing days, it doesn’t affect me, although I can be a bit clumsy as I sometimes forget how big I am, especially when I’m excited about playing with kids.
I really enjoy playing with my stuffed toys too. I know all my basic commands and have good manners in the house and know I have to wait to eat until you say it’s okay. I’m close to perfect at coming when I’m called or whistled for. I love the car and don’t stress over new experiences.
Overall, I’m an easy-going and curious guy, very loving, good fun and just a little bit quirky.
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.
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.
