About Rosie
Rosie is an elegant young lady with a shiny sleek black coat, white socks on her hind legs and a small white patch on her chest. She loves attention from humans and is energetic, excitable, confident, happy, playful and a curious party girl.
She does little excited jumps when you get home, she bows down and pops up.
Rosie plays with her toys by herself, throws them around and chases them. She loves to play fetch without the fetch part - she runs up to the toy and then runs back without it. Rosie is a bit more energetic than other greyhounds. She loves her walks, 30 minutes in the morning and at least 15 minutes in the afternoon but also loves time to zoom about the yard.
Rosie loves her back yard and would be very happy to sit outside to catch the breeze but also very happy to spend inside time with you.
Rosie loves her humans and demands all the smooches, cuddles and bum scratches you have to give. You will never be short of affection with this girl around.
Rosie is a bit of a bossy-boots with other dogs. She likes to be in charge so if there was another dog, maybe an easy going male would be most appropriate. She would also be happy as an only dog.
Rosie also has a bit of sleep startle - doesn’t like been woken suddenly so isn’t appropriate for a home with small children.
On her walks Rosie is still learning how to encounter strange dogs. Some continued socialising would help her improve.
Rosie’s foster carers believe she is the bravest greyhound they’ve met. She has no fear
She loves to party. Always wagging her tail.
No cat or small dog applications please.
No children under ten.
No full time workers unless working from home or there is another dog
We only consider applications who compete our Gumtree Greys 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.
