About Ruby
Ruby is a little gem who, true to greyhound form does like to snooze much of the day but she does insist on her two daily walks. 20 minutes is just about right. She walks well on lead and not fussed about meeting other dogs on her walks but does get a bit over-enthusiastic greeting humans on her walks. She will bound to greet them like long lost friends. Her foster carers are working on that. Demure Ruby, be demure.
Ruby loves her tucker so will need some supervision around human food.
Being rescued at 5 after having a litter of pups, its been a few years since Ruby has had the opportunity to play. She is delighting her foster carers as she rediscovers play and toys. They are charmed by the goof-ball she is playing with her squeaky toys. They also have a chuckle when Ruby is given a chew treat. She will scurry outside with her treasure and have a little dance of joy. You deserve it girl, dance like nobody is watching.
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under six.
No homes with full time workers unless either working from home or 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.
