About Twiggy
Twiggy is a gentle and engaging young girl who loves her cuddles. She adores her foster dad and will follow him from room to room, but she is a little shy of strangers coming to the home. However, Twiggy is very happy to introduce herself to strangers on her walks. Twiggy is still getting used to meeting strange dogs though. She tries to avoid larger dogs or any that are too boisterous or jumpy.
Being young Twiggy does have the energy of a puppy. She will need her big walks to tire her out and lots of stimulation at home. That can be puzzle toys, something to chew or games to play with you. She loves her zoomies so a bit of space to play would be good. Tossing her toys in the air is very entertaining to watch.
On her walks Twiggy is getting used to busy streets and loves to stop for a sniff. She doesn’t like playgrounds with noisy children but does love the water. She thinks walking by the river or beach is the best. Maybe all the different smells.
Twiggy’s foster dad finds her very entertaining. Especially her victory lop after a yummy dinner or a satisfying poo or her loud yawn that sounds like a fog horn.
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.

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.
