About Wally
Wally has such a calm presence and is an excellent companion. This affectionate boy will make you feel special. He loves to sneak in for a full body hug when you sit to tie up your shoe laces. Hugs and cuddles are his thing.
Wally is chilled and happy to live with another dog who is also chilled and not likely to interrupt his Zen moments. Wally’s foster carers describe him as brilliant on lead, he keeps a steady pace and only stopping occasionally for a pee or to sniff a very important spiky bush.. He is very happy to meet other doggos on his walks.
Outside walks Wally is very chilled. He may play with toys from time to time but us otherwise happy to snooze the day away.
Wally does have some sleep-startle do isn’t suitable for a home with small unpredictable children.
Wally has an injured foot and may have some ongoing limitations. He will love his regular walks but may not be able to go too far. He would happy to swap for car rides and other adventures.
We think any family would be very lucky to include our handsome black boy with his amusing overbite.

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.
