About Trudy
Trudy is a delight. When happily excited her bum will join her tail in a massive helicopter wag. She’s the sweetest girl who is thriving in a loving her foster home. She is definitely still a puppy so needs lots of opportunities to channel that extra energy. Trudy enjoys longer walks and room to zoom at home. Trudy loves Kongs and other puzzle toys which helps.
In her down time Trudy will settle in her bed but still keep and eye on the family in case she can join them in any adventures. Trudy’s bed is her panic room in case there is a loud noise or an unexpected clang. She is just a little skittish but a pat, cuddle and a reassuring chat will let her know her it’s all OK. She is upset by barking dogs and shies aways from noisy playgrounds.
Trudy adores her foster brother, the greyhound Brian, following him around never wanting to miss out on any adventure. Her foster parents feel she would love a home with another suitable dog but OK on her own too providing her parents are home more often than not.
Trudy has got this toilet thing sorted, knows that outside time is for toilet and will give you a nudge in the morning when she needs to "do the business”.
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.
