About Marie
For a young pup, Marie is happy with the quiet life. She loves setting out on her walks but she can be shy around sounds of the neighbourhood, such as traffic, people talking, construction etc. Her foster carer is working on building her confidence with this, and she is doing well. She is a young dog, so with some time and patience, she will get there. Her happy place is in her comfy bed, roaching (sleeping upside down).
Our Marie has the shiniest black coat, endearing and soulful eyes that will melt your heart. She is a fairly little girl and is very sweet when she is in her happy place. Marie is still learning to meet new dogs when on lead. She has been fine with a slow introduction in a neutral space with some other dogs though.
She is very smart, funny and affectionate. Marie loves her cuddles and tickles. However, Marie is a bit of a drama queen. A bump on her elbow may need the immediate call for an ambulance with lights and sirens but be magically cured with a kiss and a cuddle. She would prefer someone who is home more often than not.
Marie is the sweetest quirky girl. Your life with Marie will be one of laughs, hugs, and joy.

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.
