About Sally
Sally is known to her foster carers as a bit of a zen buddha. She is a calm soul around the house, mostly. Although she is quite chilled, she thrives on human affection. Food is fine but it's the love from her humans that she craves. Sally will be your constant buddy. She would prefer to have someone who is at home more often than not and be allowed to stay inside when no one is home. She would love nothing more than cuddling up next to you while you work or watch the telly.
Sally is currently an only dog, but maybe suitable to live with another dog. She is loving life at the moment though and has the freedom to get all the attention for herself.
Sally loves car rides and going on adventures. She walks beautifully on a lead. Even though she is a mature girl, she still loves to go for walks and happily trots along. She comes across as a bit timid when meeting new dogs. She has been approached by a number of dogs out and about and tends to mostly ignore them and then is happy to continue on with her adventure. Sally does get a little excited when she sees a fellow long nose though.
Sally is a very pretty little girl. Her striking black markings mean that she gets a fair bit of attention out and about.
Sally is a sweet and delicate lady who will make a lovely addition to the family. She is the perfect companion.

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.
