About Mickey
Mickey is still a young pup so needs a little more enrichment and stimulation than older rescues. He enjoys his walks and very happy to charm all the humans he meets and he learning to interact with all the different dogs he meets. He is good on lead and may even learn to jog with an energetic human. Mickey will need a routine of two walks and other activities to provide stimulation. He loves toys and enrichment tools such as Kongs and puzzle toys. He has a special relationship with his Cuddlepillar ( an oversized plush caterpillar toy) that he will take to bed with him.
Mickey is in fostercare with a female grey. She is the boss and he respects that. She lets him know what her rules are and he is happy to oblige. All he wants to do is please his sister and his humans. He is a soft and affectionate boy.
In the house Mickey is a pleasure. He is toilet trained, he can do stairs but is not so elegant. He is happy to sleep on his own bed in the human bedroom.
Not much in the house phases him including the vacuum cleaner. He will sometimes react to that interesting wildlife documentary you are watching. Otherwise, happy to nap with you on the couch while you watch TV or read. He can't help with your crossword or Wordle though but will share your joy if you get in a three.
This stunning red brindle boy will charm and amuse. He is gentle, affectionate but ready to put on an energetic display to delight.
Micky would be be great in a home with another dog for stimulation and company or a active family who can keep him entertained in his puppy years.
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, some can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour.
As a result we look to rehome dogs into households where they are not left on their own for more than 4 hours per day on a regular basis, without either people or another dog for company. We are happy discuss strategies such as a dog walker or doggy day care. Going to work with you is also a great option

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.
