About Candy
Candy is the name,
And yes, I am rather stunning, I’ve been told I look like a royal greyhound from paintings discovered on ancient Egyptian walls. That’s definitely something amazing if you ask me. So, I am incredibly special and unique.
One of my favorite things to do is to steal everything I see in sight, it is quite cute and I’ve heard humans call it Kleptomaniac. I am also quirky, fun, and loveable. A quirky trait I possess is that I like to wrap myself up in blankets until I’m trapped and lay there as long I can before a human realizes. Its quite fun, I usually only see humans do it in front of the TV.
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.
