About Dolly
Dolly's beauty is beyond compare. She is a stunning blonde bombshell.
Dolly adores people and loves all the attention she gets on her walks. Being the beauty that she is, there is no lack of attention, that’s for sure.
Dolly casn be an excitable lass and can have a bit of energy, but after her walk she will then settle and quite happily snooze the day away. Although she loves attention, she is able to happily entertain herself by tossing her toys around.
Dolly is currently happily living with another hound, but she would also be happy to be a solo dog with someone who is home more often than not and give her the attention she loves. Dolly would love a yard to run around in and help her with her daily routine.
On her ambling walks, Dolly loves nothing more than sniffing all the interesting things and checking out the neighbourhood. She is easily distracted with the occasional ‘ooh what’s over there?’ Dolly will take you on some adventures. She walks beautifully on lead though with the occasional curiosity and intensity of a 3 year old.
Dolly is happy to match the intensity of the dogs she meets. If they are chilled, she can be chilled. If they are excited, she can get excited as well and want to play. Most of the time she is happy to give them a quick sniff and carry on her merry way.
Dolly is delightful and will be a lovely addition to the household.

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.
