About Shadow
Hello, I’m Shadow!
I promise I’m not the kind of shadow that lurks in the darkness or is a source of evil. I’m just a sweet, little pup with a happy and playful personality. I am very curious, and love to go on little adventures in the car. The beach is a favourite of mine, I can’t help but to dig holes in the sand.
I have taken a liking to empty toilet rolls, and I enjoy collecting leaves. So, I do help around the house with chores and gardening, that’s a plus in my books.
I’m very affectionate towards my human friends and would love a sibling in the house that I can get up to mischief with. Small children make me quite boisterous, so I may need children who are older than 8 who can keep up with my roughness.
I wear a brace to support my leg as I do have an injury, but I’ve been told I will be getting surgery once I’m 2 years old, how exciting. My injury doesn’t slow me down though, but once it’s healed nothing will stop me from enjoying life to the fullest.
No cat or small dog applications please.

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.
