About Elle Mae
Elle Mae’s foster family describe her as a princess. She is an elegant fawn girl with delicate shadings giving the appearance of eyeliner. She is a very happy and gentle girl who loves to share the company of her humans.
Elle Mae loves her walks and is keen to head out at least twice a day. When she sees you go to collect that lead or hears the shoes being put on she will dance and run up and down the hallway. Her energy on these walks can vary and she will tell you when it’s time to head home, even if that means stubbornly sitting in the middle of the street.
Elle May loves to charm everyone she meets on her walks, seeking out friendly people who might like to say hello or offer a pat. Especially if they have food. Elle Mae is also very good with other dogs. She has no problem meeting them on her walks. Happy for a hello and bum sniff then move on. She is more interested in meeting the humans though.
Elle Mae would be happy to share her home with another dog or just as happy to be the only dog in the home if there is plenty of human company.

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.
