About Bobby
Bobby is a big ray of sunshine. This gorgeous fellow, adores being around his people and soaking up as much attention as he can. He will be your little loyal sidekick and follow you everywhere.
Bobby has settled into home life very well and he is proving to be quite the outdoors man. He loves the back yard, will potter around, sprawl out and have a good roll in the grass. He would prefer a home where he can have a yard to continue his backyard antics. Once he’s finished his backyard adventures he will trot inside and throw his toys around and sidle up for a loving cuddle.
Bobby is a striking looking boy and eats up all the attention he gets out and about. He has been fine meeting medium to larger breeds but is not a fan of smalls. He absolutely loves his walks and going on any adventure.
Bobby is a striking looking young man and will be a wonderful addition to the family.
No cats or small dogs
No full time workers unless some working from home or there is another dog
No children under six

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.
