Greyhound Hampshire Greyhound Rescue

Greyhounds Needing Homes

Currently we have seven greyhounds looking for new homes. Sometimes, as Henry Ford once said, “ we have every colour so long as it is black”!

Each of these greyhounds has a character of it's own. Some will not be suitable for each and every home, so please do not set your heart on one which may not be right for you.

Last but not least as you will have seen from our latest news we do have some very special additions who are looking for a home.  I should warn you that they will need a great deal of commitment and patience.



Greyhound Puppies

If you have read the latest news of our web page you will have no doubt read about Misty and her unexpected puppies.

We have already managed to home 6 of the puppies but unfortunately we still have 2 little fawn girls looking for a forever home.

They are now ready for their new home and have been fully inoculated, wormed and come with a very bling Kitsch martingale collar.

We would ideally want the puppies to go home with an elder greyhound, lurcher or whippet which would make for both

easier training and the transition from a kennel to a home a good deal less stressful.

Incidentally three of the puppies already homed are living

with cats and older greyhounds.

 


 

Ray

Ray is still at the top of our list even though he is a truly loveable boy

Ray is nearly 5 years old and an average size black boy greyhound who is

very biddable and affectionate.

He has a playful nature, so will be good in a family home.

Ray, like most greyhounds he would benefit greatly from socialisation &  dog training classes.

We really hoped Ray would, have been in his new home, unfortunately at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances the new home fell through.

Ray would certainly benefit from being out of a kennel environment and would as most boys of his age turn into an extremely chilled out dude.


Vikki Jo

Vikki Jo is a black & white girlie greyhound who was born in March 2003.

She is a medium sized greyhound has a placid & affectionate nature who adores the company of both adults and children.  She does love a game especially running after a tennis ball.

Sandra, one of our dedicated volunteers has spent a great deal of time working with Vikki Jo or Josie as she is known in the kennels and we thought it only right to include some words from her regarding this little lady.

"I took Josie out today…and she is absolutely wonderful. She would be fantastic for an old lady, or someone who hasn’t the strength for a

muscular greyhound. When she is out a walk she stays right by your heel.

Anyway, when you are updating your web site, perhaps you can put in that she is so good to take for a walk alone, and just heeds to every command. We even saw a rabbit and I just told her ‘no’ and that was that!

She will also gently takes bonios from my hand without snatching and she has become so much more calm and relaxed.

I just wish I could keep her! "

 

 


 

Mickey

Mickey is 5 ½ years old and an average size black boy greyhound who will need to be re-homed to an experience greyhound owner.

He will definitely need to be in a one dog home as he is not very good with other dogs.

Although Mickey is very, very affectionate & can appear shy, he will need strong owners to curb his unsociable ways.


Norma Jean

A pretty little black & white girl who is just over a year old.

Norma Jean has never been trained or schooled to race.

A little girl with bags of personality and a bit of a live wire with a zest for life.

She would benefit from being homed with another older greyhound or another breed of dog.

Norma Jean has been socialised with other dogs and loves playing with a very large German Sheepdog.

Although not guaranteed cat friendly Norma Jean showed little interest when confronted with a cat.  We therefore feel that with the right training Norma Jean could adapt to

life with a furry feline.


 

Pedro

Pedro is a big bustling fawn boy greyhound, who is 4 ½ years old

Whilst Pedro is extremely handsome and loyal, he is also exceptionally strong.

Pedro will need to be homed to someone with greyhound or big dog experience.

Although lively Pedro would settle down with a family with older children.

Again Pedro will need to be thoroughly socialised with other dogs.


Sophie

Last but not least of our black greyhounds is Sophie.

Sophie will be 5 in September & is a medium sized lady greyhound.

She is extremely gentle but does like most greyhounds have her

“mad 5 minutes”.

Sophie has a lovely nature but she does have one trait left over from

her puppy days in that when excited she can “mouth”.

Whilst this doesn’t hurt it would be better if her new owners were to

detrain from this habit.

Sophie has just recently found her forever home with Rob

& Paula and has taken to home life as being the best thing ever.
