About Lulu
Lulu is a social butterfly. She loves to be with her people, checking out what they are up to and is a constant cheery companion. In foster care her first dinner party was a little overwhelming - so many people. She retreated to her quiet place but is now much more confident. She is now much more confident and is joyfully excited to meet visitors.
Lulu is toilet trained and learning the rules and boundaries in a home. She is responding well but can still be a little opportunistic if you leave food unattended.
Lulu is loving her two daily walks. She can get excited but learning to walk well with a loose lead. She is eager to meet new dogs on her walks. lulu also enjoys meeting new admirers on her walks. You can’t help but smile when you meet this black beauty with her white socks and infectious grin.
Lulu has been in foster care with another dog and learning to share. She would be happy to be adopted into a home with another dog or if her humans were home more often than not.
Lulu is a joyful and sweet girl.

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.
