Lovely Orby is a cuddly and very clever guy who was surrendered to us due to unfortunate circumstances. He is super cuddly who asks for affection by placing his head on your lap and giving you the most adorable puppy eyes possible. He is most happy when he is by his human’s side and doesn’t like being left alone. When he arrived, he did have moderate anxiety for the first 1-2 weeks while he adjusted to the change, as he has settled into a routine this has now settled.
Orby loves to play games with toys or just sleep on the couch with you, he has lived in an apartment before and handles it quite well with twice daily walkies, he is fully house trained and has even taught himself to use the doggy door to go outside for toilet time!
Orby does have a moderate prey drive towards the chickens, so we will be looking for a home with no cats or small pets. We haven’t tested him with small dogs but he is fine with medium to large dogs on leash.
He would be suited to almost any housing situation so long as he gets plenty of walkies and ideally, he has a human at home most of the time to keep him company. He will need to remain on his lead at all times while out as he doesn’t have a solid recall and being a greyhound can zoom off in a flash. I would recommend avoiding dog parks in the early days of him adjusting to his new family and to avoid him getting too overwhelmed.
If you think you can give Orby the most perfect of homes please complete an application form, Orby really is a special guy and I can’t wait to help him find his perfect forever home.

Adoption details
After rehabilitation a profile is created of the animal to help find them the perfect match. Applicants can apply via my website using the application form. A house inspection (can be virtual) is required and then a visit can be arranged. If all goes well a two week trial in their new home begins, after completion of the two weeks the adoption will be finalised.
