About Tiny
Tiny is a striking, gorgeous big red fawn boy who will draw the adoration of all your neighbours on his walks.
Tiny loves his human family. At home he is a joy to be with. In his down time he will love and encourage cuddles and enjoys sharing the couch with you. Tummy rubs most welcome, keep them coming.
He will keep you entertained with his antics in the home. Tiny has higher needs for stimulation so would love to play fetch with you in the yard or the living room. He will enjoy enrichment toys too. This is in addition to two good walks each day. Tiny also does well with a consistent routine and house rules. He aims to please.
Tiny is unusually vocal for a grey. He will vocalise/ chat with you on his walks. You can almost have a conversation with him.
Tiny has learnt to walk well on a loose lead. He is a little unsure of meeting new dogs on his walks so will need an experienced dog owner to help him learn to be comfortable meeting new dogs.
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.
