About Dottie
Dottie is a confident and assertive greyhound. She has a bit more energy than most. She gets her two good 20 minute walks in fostercare but could go longer if you have the time. Dottie is eager to check out everything on her walks. She is curious and outgoing.
In the home Dottie does like a little more stimulation and will seek your attention for a bit of a play. If you are away from the home you may need to make sure she has a longer walk to tire her out so she can nap while you are out.
Dottie has been good with all dogs she has met on her walks. She would be happy to live with another medium or large dog.
In the home Dottie is not too clingy but may decide to supervise you in the kitchen.
Dottie is a go-anywhere girl - happy to accompany you on your errands and quite fond of her puppachino if you both have time to pop into a cafe.

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.
