About Arna
I’m a sleek black babe with a beautiful white chest. I’m a somewhat quiet and reserved young lady but at the same time affectionate and fun loving. I’m also uncomplicated and obedient. I’m pretty sociable too and am happy to join you for coffee in a café or to watch you playing tennis.
I really enjoy my walks but I just love riding in the car; I can sleep for hours in the back seat while we’re traveling. I’m very sweet with children and other dogs but I’d be okay being a solo dog too.
I get very happy when I see the leash because I love my walks but I can also play by myself in the backyard, doing zoomies with my squeaky toy. I can keep you entertained spinning circles too.
I’ve learned my basic commands and how to walk up and down stairs, so I’m pretty proud of myself for that. I look forward to learning more.

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.
