About Rex
Meet gorgeous goofball Rex. Rex is five and a half years old and is loving learning all about his new pet life. He is quite playful and affectionate, he loves a hug and a pat and has settled into family life really well.
Rex has two 20-minute walks a day, after that he’s zorsted! He loves meeting all humans and ensures he makes time for pats with anyone who will have him! Rex has been very tolerant of all kinds of other doggos, but he’s not overly interested in them at the moment. He has access to a small yard at his foster home and is completely toilet trained. He would be OK in apartment providing he gets lots of walks! Rex is also an expert at stairs. He’s ok around other dogs and would be fine as a solo dog or with a doggo friend, after the right introductions
Rex is still learning some things, he is still in training with his lead walking to avoid zig zagging and he needs to be monitored around food as he’s very food motivated. If you take your eyes of him, he may swipe your dinner !
Rex really loves being part of the gang, when his foster family returns home, he gets very excited and brings them toys to show them he’s missed them – he’s always very pleased with himself!
Rex’s foster Mum describes him as goofy, sweet and affectionate. He will be the perfect addition to some lucky forever home .

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.
