About Jelly
Jelly is a sweet gentle girl. She likes the quiet life at home and is happy to snooze at home much of the time. She loves to nestle into her bed burying her head in the bedding. Jelly is happy as an only dog but would be fine with the right companion too. Jelly enjoys some play time at home and is keen to play catch with a tennis ball.
Given the change to run in her yard Jelly does tend to prance about like a deer. When she’s done prancing she may finish with an elegant crossover of her front legs. Maybe a fourth position as if she was a ballet dancer.
On her walks, Jelly enjoys exploring. She loves parks but isn’t so keen on busy children's playgrounds and other noisy places. Nor does she like being rushed at by strangers or other dogs. She is happy to say hello to new people provided they are gentle and calm. She will then happily enjoy their pats and ear tickles. Jelly will need an owner with some confidence and experience to help her gain confidence in the big outside world.
In the home, Jelly is doing very well learning the basic house rules. She knows which rooms she is allowed in. Stairs are still bit of a challenge.
Jelly’s foster carers describe her as sweet, innocent, adorable and beautiful.
Jelly is your new goofy and sweet friend.

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.
