About Samson
Samson is playful (especially with his sister Rosa) and silly, loving and loyal. He loves his hugs and cuddles. He will rest his head in the nook of your neck for a hug whenever you offer. He loves a bit of a play with his humans too.
Samson has very entertaining sleeping positions to keep you amused.
Unfortunately Samson does have an injured leg with parts fused. He does have a limp and will run on three legs.
He will need a patient and caring owner to manage this make sure he doesn’t over do the zoomies.
Handsome Samson will give you unconditional love.
Samson also adores his sister Rosa who he has lived with for a couple of years. We prefer that they be adopted together. This may suit full time workers who otherwise could not adopt.
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under ten.
No full time workers unless working from home post COVID19 unless 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.
