Hi everyone!

My name is Buddy and I am a beautiful boy in search of my furever home! I was rescued from death row in a council pound and have been wonderful to care for since entering my foster home. It is not believed I have ever raced, and I am a very social and happy boy.

I am best buds with the other dog here, so my ideal home has another dog for company - although I would be ok on my own as well, as long as you are home a fair bit! I have not met cats so it is probably best if I don't live with any. I get along well with other dogs, and make friends easily. We expect this will improve with time, and my rescue has learned since rescuing me, that I did live with other dogs with my prior owner, and got along great with everyone. Sadly this is all they know about my past, but it doesn't really matter- let's just focus on my future!

I am currently living behind a 5ft fence and show no sign of wanting to escape, so would love a fence this high or higher to keep me safe. I currently sleep for around 15hrs a day and enjoy 15min walks daily. I may be interested in longer walks or jogs with you, but you'd need to help me train up and get fit as I am more interested in couch potato life! I currently sleep inside at night, and despite how lanky and awkward I am, I travel well in the car. It seems my only fear is high-pitched, weird equipment like the lawn mower...maybe I can hide on the couch while you have it running? I have also learned how to master stairs! When I first came into care, it appeared I'd never seen them, so my carer was patient and consistent in showing me how they work and now I am very proud!

I was a little shy at the vet but let them do what they needed to do. I can be a little nervous when I first meet new humans, but I warm up quickly. A typical greyhound, I have trouble sitting due to tight muscles in my legs, but I am learning other things eg come, heel, outside, bed. I don't really play with toys, instead preferring to just hang out and enjoy your company.

I am well suited to a family with greyhound experience or willingness to educate themselves prior to meeting me, who has either no children or children 8yrs +. Does this sound like you? I'd love you to apply to meet me if so!
