Support after you adopt

Greyhounds love people and are normally very gentle, and laid-back . But you have to remember that, up to the point they come to you, they have lived very ‘monastic’ lives in kennels. Everything in your home is different; the fact that you are close to them is different; the sights and sounds in the home are new; most greyhounds will never have met another breed of dog – and when they do they may initially be nervous or ‘on guard’. And when you take your greyhound out and about almost everything will be a new experience. Most greyhounds will take new things in their stride but occasionally it takes a little time and understanding before they are comfortable with some of their new experiences.

A little patience and learning to live with each other will overcome most problems and your reward will be a wonderful companion.
However, if you feel anxious or uncertain about anything to do with your greyhound, you are not alone – we’re here to help and we’ll stand by you.

Depending on the circumstances it may decided to use the services of a dog behaviour specialist to sort out the relationship between you and your new greyhound.
Our aim is to provide happy dogs for happy homes and owners – and we’re willing to go the extra mile to make sure this is what happens.
