About Zoe
Zoe is a striking, beautiful chocolate brown brindle. She loves life and has party every day in her foster home with her beloved foster brother Buster.
Being a party girl, Zoe has more energy than many greys and would appreciate a more active lifestyle. Lots of walks to tire her out, a backyard and adventures. You will also have to increase the security in the kitchen as she is fascinated by food and will do anything for a snack. Bins need to be secure. Zoe even has a superpower, able to open most doors to get to food.
Zoe’s smooches and cuddles are epic, charming every human she meets. Zoe doesn’t understand social distancing, she needs to be right beside you or even on top of you so you understand how much she loves you.
Zoe is still getting used to seeing strange dogs on her walks. She will need some patience and continued training meeting new dogs. Gumtree Greys can provide continued support when she settles into her new home.
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under six.
No full time workers unless working from home or there is 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.
