About Courtney
Courtney is the supermodel of the greyhound world. Although she is precious about the squishiness of her bed, you won’t see any temper tantrums from this stunner, she is a gorgeous all rounder and social butterfly. Being the socialite that she is, Courtney loves to meet everyone and anyone. She loves her own people and all the new people to meet on her adventures.
Courtney loves to make an entrance- with a big ‘Helloooo’ every morning after being let out for morning business. She is a sucker for a kissy noise and will come trotting up and shove her head in your lap for loving scritchies. Courtney wants to be everyone’s friend and sometimes forgets how to contain her excitement, especially when meeting other dogs. She has settled into home life beautifully and has mastered the roach perfectly.
Courtney is still learning to be alone and would prefer someone who is home more often than not and can continue her home alone training.
Courtney is an absolute delight.
No cats or small dogs

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.
